Patchouli being born a Magician

"It's not explicitly stated that she was born as a magician from birth; this assumption is derived from the fact that she was never mentioned as being human. In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Patchouli is mentioned as being "purely a magician", but the same detail has also been used to describe Alice Margatroid, a human-turned-magician, in other works."

I'm not sure where this notion came from, but it is false. 「彼女は、生粋の魔法使いであり...」 isn't just "purely", 生粋 means natural-born. So yes, it is explicitly stated she was born a Magician. I don't even know how they came to this conclusion since neither 生粋 nor "purely a magician" are ever mentioned with Alice, and no source is given for this.

In any case, I'm leaving this talk here as an explanation and context of my soon-to-be edits. Drake Irving (talk) 08:19, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

EDIT: Just read through the archive. The arguments made there about how Patchouli might not be a natural-born Magician are few, weak, and are completely unconvincing. This really shouldn't have stayed up for so long. Drake Irving (talk) 08:32, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
