Grief Seed (グリーフシード?) is an item Witches drop once defeated and is said to be necessary for the survival of all Magical Girls.
Appearance[]
Grief Seeds are small dark orbs surrounded by grey designs around them that differ from Witch to Witch and have a cane on the bottom of the orb and above one can see the motif of a Witch.
Uses[]
- Grief Seeds are capable of cleaning Soul Gems from impurities.
- Grief Seeds are the final forms of Soul Gems and also give birth to Witches.
- If a used Grief Seed is not consumed by Kyubey, the same Witch will be born again.
- As revealed in Magia Record, a Witch's powers can be boosted if she consumes a Grief Seed.
Trivia[]
- Grief Seeds are said to be obtained only through Witches. Other monsters such as Pseudo-Witches, Familiars, Uwasa and Kimochi won't drop any at all.
- There's some uncertainity regarding how much time a Grief Seed needs to spawn its Witch. In episode 3, Charlotte's Grief Seed took more than an instance to give birth to its Witch, whereas in episode 8 or 10, Madoka and Sayaka's Witches were born instantly.
