Believing in magic is fine. Kill yourself, strict anti-fantasy faggot.

But.... how much does Maria really believe? EP6 drones on and on about the nature of magic, specifically that it is just a cover up for the method to produce a result. Ange's has a discussion with Ryu's self-insert in the meta-meta-metaverse about how the witch side uses red to protect that secret, but they can't do that safely if they don't know the facts or can invent senarios where the result was obtained with a naturalistic method (otherwise, the witch will not be able to construct the red truth behind them without logic error should the human side get to close). So, if Maria did not know the (or at least some) truth about how the candy got in the cup, then how was she using red, and why did she know when to stop?

Then, Maria abandons the magic and Black Witch shit pretty quickly at the end of EP2. Sure, that could be said to be Beato giving her a happy end, but the piece can't do what the real Maria would never do. There is also evidence, via her diary, where she would describe miserable, lonely days, then tack magic on the end to lift her spirits.

I don't think that Maria believed in magic a whole lot more than Yasu herself.
