About Magical Girls
In this world, magical girls are real. A Magical☆Phone appears to those with the right potential, displaying the message: "Please become a magical girl and defeat the magical creatures that threaten our world."
Defeating magical creatures earns magic points stored in your Magical☆Phone. These points can be used to cast spells, and with enough accumulated power, you can even grant wishes.
Becoming a magical girl doesn't mean you're obligated to fight monsters—that's entirely up to you.
However, transformation magic has limits. Your power recovers naturally over time, or you can spend points to recharge faster, so magical girls can't just abuse their abilities 24/7.
When you become a magical girl, a perception filter kicks in—your magical girl identity stays hidden unless you "reveal yourself intentionally" or "someone catches you mid-transformation."
The moment you quit being a magical girl, your Magical☆Phone vanishes and all your magical girl memories get wiped.
There's one crucial rule: never tell non-magical girls about magic points. Break this rule, and you instantly lose your powers.
If you die while transformed, everyone else just sees it as some random accident or natural cause.
There are actually quite a few magical girl streamers and influencers these days.
Even if you're originally a middle-aged dude, you still become a magical "girl" when you transform.
You can stay transformed indefinitely if you want—it just drains magic power continuously.
