You cannot operate your body at a distance of greater than 100 meters but with magic you can make a new one to replace it.

Make... a new body.

But it has to be the same as the old one? Or could you just make whatever body you want?

I don't see why it would have to be the same.

So why can you only change your existing body in limited ways?

It costs magic to do it.

—oh so you can change whatever whenever it's just expensive? But some things are cheaper than others for different people?

Yes!

Oh. Okay.

...what kind of magic is this, then? And what kinds of wishes?

You have to feel very strongly about your wish or you may not have enough power to achieve it. Then you can use your magic to conjure your weapon to fight witches, or heal, or do lots of other things!

What kinds of other things? And do you have to go fight witches?

Wait, they're going to think he's a selfish prick.

Could you instead use your magic to, like, be a firefighter or something?

He is in fact a selfish prick but they don't need to know that.

If you don't fight witches it might be hard to find grief seeds. Different wishers use their magic in lots of different ways!

Oh right the gem thingy gets darker if you use too much magic. ...so what if it does, though? Is it like a battery or something, do you die if you do too much magic without a grief seed?

You need a little magic to do things like operate your body!

...right. Because I'd be a magic rock and my body would be fake.

Which he's still kind of not over but he's too embarrassed to freak out about it when Haru seems so chill about it.

Swan-san seems to like it!

That's great for Swan-san, isn't it. 

So, to sum it up, you make a wish, which has to be something you feel strongly about, then you become a magic rock with a fake body, and you gotta fight witches so you don't die of it, but you get unspecified magic including a transformation sequence and a weapon to do it.

You could put it that way.

He's feeling kind of judged now.

What other way should I put it?

...also he's been sitting inside his car for kind of a long time. He was paying so little attention he didn't even notice getting here. Maybe he should, uh, actually drive home? Will the fluff complain if he's put in the passenger seat?

I'm not sure. There are ways humans think about things that I don't understand. The fluff will sit politely in the passenger seat.

Haru, are you still in the call or did I bore you to tears with my questions? 

Back home with him, then.

I haven't gotten anything for a few minutes, were you trying to include me or just making Kyubey guess?

Oh I kind of assumed you'd just stay in the call unless you wanted to stop. 

...that's kind of annoying, though. He wanted to know if there were any obvious questions he missed. 

What I just said to Kyūbey was that—I wanted to confirm I got everything right, and he said that that was a way to put it and I asked if there was some other way and he said he doesn't understand how humans think about some things and so I wanted to know how you'd put it.

How I'd put what?

The whole, like, vibe. I said, uh, what was it that I said, that basically the deal is I make some wish I care really strongly about and then I become a magical rock with a fake body and I gotta kill evil witches in order to not die but I get unspecified magic including but not limited to a transformation sequence and a magic weapon to help me do it.

Well that doesn't make it sound like it'd suit you at all. It suits me though. I have kickass highly versatile powers, my disability is cured and I got a wish, and all I have to do to earn it is be a superhero, save people like you. I love it.
