Interested.  Curious to know how magical girl characters should be made, for instance, following with the theme of Madoka, each magical girl had a unique weapon theme, and a particular magical gimmick.  For example, Sayaka used sabers and had regeneration, Mami used flintlock rifles and could summon ribbons to bind the opponent, Homura's weapon was a shield that could manipulate time, Kyouko used a spear and could summon illusions (according to supplementary material), while Madoka used a bow though her magical gimmick wasn't ever shown.

I guess the question is, what are the limits to what the magical gimmicks are allowed to be?  And can weapons be repeated, since there are only so many weapon types in the world?
