And there is a brilliant light, and Emily may miss the other results in the course of noticing that Edie is healing.

"Edie? Edie?"

"Nn--wha?"

Emily cannot answer that question because she is too busy clinging and sobbing.

"Are you okay--what are you wearing?"

"What'm I--what?"

You can return to your ordinary clothes at any time, says the creature.

???

She looks down at her clothes.

She is wearing a dress. A pink dress that laces down the front of the bodice in gold ribbon and has short wide ruffly golden sleeves and gold lace trimming the skirt.

"What." It's very pretty but seriously, what.

Your wish was magical, and now so are you.

"Could you maybe expand on that."

You are a magical girl! You can transform at any time and do magic. You will need to fight witches to recharge if you do a lot, though.

"And what is a witch?"

Magical girls are made with hope and happiness; witches are creatures of despair.

"Do you have any information with something that resembles utility value."

They are hidden monsters that affect people around them and cause suicides and murders and accidents. Magical girls hunt them.

"...Murders."

She looks at her sister, who is still confused.

Different witches cause different emotions and effects.

"How likely is it that a witch is responsible for what happened to my sister and if one is how do I end it."

It is very probable. You can dowse for witches with your soul gem and might be able to tell which witch it was by watching their effects.

"How do I dowse for witches?"

You turn your gem from its ring or adornment form into its bauble form, hold it up, and watch it brighten as you move away from witches and dim as you approach them.

"What gem?"

It is a ring right now. The creature traipses over to put a paw on her hand.

She looks at the ring. "And how do I...do things with it?"

It should be straightforward but I am not a magical girl myself.
