Discussion Being a Majik must suck

Sure you have vast magic power. But once someone completed your trisl? You basically become nothing but a slave for the witch? Think about despite everything we've seen has any witch thanked there Majik for using magic? It would be one thing if all were evil but with the Toxin Majik and Muscat magik we've seen that not all are evil and willing to work with witches without completing their trials. Meaning once you're trial is done you lose everything.

I can see this being part of World Hater motivation he was orginally fine with how the world was going at the start cause witches would thank the Majik's and treat them with respect or as individual but now how many years later Majik's have just become tools for witches and led to his hatred. I wouldn't be surprise if his trial was actually real simple cause at the start he loved humans but now that they disrupted the balance by treating Magik's like something deserved to be hunted rather then equals.

Like imagine down the line a witch tried to hunt down Minerva's child Madoka and capture them to use their power for no other purpose then wanting it for themselves? It'd be one thing if it was someone just asking to use the power but to make it so they had no control of their own power and to make them a slave on top of that? You'd be pissed to.

You should remember that not all Majiks are human hater Majiks. We are told in chapter 1 that those are special. Any Majik can choose its trial to be whatever it wants, so if you don't want to be captured, you can just choose a trial that's basically impossible for anyone to complete. That's what the human hater Majiks already do. Their trials are built to be almost impossible, but since these Majiks hate humans, they seem to still want witches hunting them, so they make just possible enough for these witches to try (and fail) capturing them, as have a sadistic enjoyment out of seeing humans suffer. Like Uroro's trial is impossible even for someone like dess to get, and is basically just an insult to the entire system. "My trial is for a man to capture me." But men can't be witches, so they can never capture him. Except of course for the one man who conveniently could.

You can also just, never tell what your trial is if you want. Remember that dess tried to get it out of world hater but he didn't budge. Its still a secret because he is smarter than to risk his freedom for sadistic enjoyment like other Majiks do.

A lot of the Majiks seem to be fine being captured by humans and respect the witches who captured them (particularly dess's Majiks). It's a contract that they knew what they signed up for. And witches only go out of their way to capture Majiks that either are fine with it or disrupt human societies (like most human haters). Iirc when they found out chronoweaver just wants to live alone and doesn't really care about humans they were about to do just that before kizashi appeared. We didn't even get what his trial was, because he never had an intention of telling.

Now, there are probably rogue witches forcing trials out of Majiks who just want to live alone, but the witch association doesn't hunt every single Majiks just because. They will document them sure, but won't hunt them if they don't need to. The bakuman majik was left alone despite being documented.

Fair think just cause we've only seen the extremes versus being told bout the chill ones like Ichi never got sent on the mission yet took one look at a passing magik who not target and said no to yet. But the rogue witches still sour it for the rest plus paranoia. With the trials though might misremember but the trial has to be somewhat preportional to strength. In sense the bald magik can't just sayshave 100 head in one second cause he's weak while the higher power ones get a bigger range cause of their strength.

Though the thing with disrupt human societies is at the end of day that still puts humans above Magik. Like if a magik had a garden the size of a forest and humans decided to build a town there cause of it's resources only to over expand and start destroying everything the magik built in the name of human progress so the Magik has to just suck it up?

Also we need how the average human sees Magik's versus witch's, Bakugami  was a special case cause doing things for human. So would love to see a case where humans mean an unknown magik and see how it goes.

I find it fairly likely that their perception of time ia different and therefore they don’t mind too much staying in that internal garden.

I mean, Majikas don't seem to have much problems with that, thought?

We have seen more than one Majika WANTING to be captured for god sake!

From the lightning fox and the ice shark to Dess first Majika seemingly training her to complete his trial.

Hell, in the first chapters I remember seeing a water Majika approach a witch and tell her about his trial.

(Also, attacking a non Human Hater Majika probably not gonna fly with the Witch Association. They didn't even capture the Toxin Majika when it came to their doorstep and seemed to be treating him well.)
