 Saga of Soul
comment
Saga of Soul, by troper Sun Tzu, is a take on the Magical Girl genre.The story begins when Eriko, an introverted bookworm, suffers a near-death experience after standing up for her friend Junko. Instead of walking toward the Light, she takes it upon herself to perform scientific experiments, which leads to her acquiring magical powers. Soon enough, she finds herself involved in a complex conflict as several factions of mortal and supernatural entities alike make their play.For a similar take on magic that also implies it is best off Sufficiently Analyzed and put to good use instead of simply Doing In the Wizard, see Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. note Eliezer Yudkowsky has read and endorsed this story.

Magic Idol Singer: The Muramatsu media conglomerate make a big production of their attempt to invoke this trope, if only to generate publicity. Eriko quickly concludes that they haven't thought this through.

Genre Savvy: Eriko most certainly is. But instead of following anime tropes, she acts based on what's known to work in reality. Sometimes overt pragmatism does come to bite her back, reminding her to think outside the box - and this is when genre tropes come in handy.

Deconstruction: It's no secret that Sailor Nothing was a big inspiration for this story. Reconstruction: On the other hand, Madoka and co. could take many, many notes on how to survive and prosper in a Cosmic Horror Story setting full of unfairness Inherent in the System. The Decon-Recon Switch is constantly flipped in showing how seemingly superfluous elements of the genre can make sense.

Try to Fit That on a Business Card: Exalted Grand Adviser Chancell, master of House Lor. Hero to the Elysium thrice. Imperial Mastermind. Recipient of the Supreme One's Trust. Recipient of the Supreme One's Greater Trust. Recipient of the Supreme One's Perfect Trust. Resident of the Domain of Wonders. Key Holder of the Domain of Wonders. He keeps trying to convince them to only announce the highest level of Trust and not bother with "Resident" when it's made superfluous by "Key Holder," but it's a slow process. Maybe in another couple centuries.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Circle of Wisdom's apparent attempts at communication and crude, ridiculously broad concepts of "carrot and stick" lead to speculation that they're so alien that they don't really comprehend earthly life. It turns out that this was Chancell beating them to Earth and making it look like they were scary-alien remote beings before they could properly introduce themselves.
