Could you sum-up key aspects of Jewels and their lifestyle/manamegent in Destiny City ? What most differenciates them from standard mages ? I get the feeling they are essentially the magic equivalent of superheroes, with innate magical power stabilizing/blooming into a broad range of specialized abilities, while typical mages are more learning-based swiss knives. Kinda like Mutants in Marvel, though Jewel's magical origin makes the very diverse and miraculous nature of their many abilities much more credible.

So Witches are S+ Class Jewels, that only the most powerful WS can take on ? Quite impressive ^ ^ I do believe witch hunts should be limited to specific members acertained as serious criminals, and that such hunts should require a preliminary discussion between representatives of the witch community. They would talk things out together and validate that witch X has become a serious problem that needs to be dealt with for everyone's sake (since the majority of witches are good), granting said hunts a legitimate seal of approval and avoiding international incidents or outright self-defense war (considering witches are a whole species of massive powerhouses, it would end poorly for Destiny City).

The Missions section makes Jewels feel a lot of an adventurers guild, which is quite the nice feeling :) The pannel of missions is very varied and immersive, you really get the impression of a vast, complex and living world, with many different situations requiring secific types of assistance. Great RPG feel overall ^ ^

The Magic Council position towards unethic experiment feels very realistic, with governing authorities disregarding the principles their are supposed to uphold (human rights notably), as long the public doesn't know and they reap valuable benefits. This represents the very dark-grey area lying between collective values and greater good, with the innocent few being ruthlessly sacrificed to further the interests of the majority (scientific guinea pigs / political scapegoats / strategic persecutions / covered assassinations) and carefully swept under the rug away from prying eyes, to preserve the necessary illusion of a human and lawful society. Criminally hypocritical but highly cost-effective, and results are all that really matters in the end. Carefully orchestrated lies will always be more profitable than harsh truths, and self-interest will always outweighs principles.
