Had a thought occure to me concerning the power gem/crystals your toons are using.
It was suggested somewhere in this thread that the crystals were 'breeding'. Combine that with the fact that the magic kingdom is basicly drafting the girls into service, and it occured to me that the gem replication might be deliberate.
Some mage back in the kindom decides that tossing randomly selected girls into combat might mean they don't last long, make the gems reproduce themselves and this way the kingdom doesn't need to keep sending out replacement gems when a draftee buys the farm. Plus there's the hope that a large number of magical girls with little training will overwealm the less numerous but better trained volunteer forces of the enemy. (the 'quantity has a quality all it's own' concept)
