Witch Craft Works - Episode 10

Week End causes a lot of chaos. Takamiya uses his power, as part of Week End's plan?

While Takamiya and Ayaka move to the center of the city to make a new contract, we get a lot of information on how Workshop Witch's Magic works for the benefit of their cities. Their protection magic only works on civilians, but it does give other witches permission to use their own magic. But with Mrs. Kagari drained of her magic, the other witches can't use magic. And if they try to substitute themselves for another Workshop witch, unless they have the same amount of magic as Mrs. Kagari, they'll get sucked dry in seconds, and die.

There are other Tower Witches running around looking for Takamiya, and they can use their magic. Still, Ayaka can take one down with "a regular flying knee." Her mother had some harsh training methods for her and Rinon when they were younger, to be able to attack even without magic.

As Takamiya and Ayaka make it to the large tree underneath the city, Week End has captured some hostages to force the remaining witches to bring Takamiya to her. They only have half an hour to do so, but it takes 45 minutes just to reach the cell where they were supposed to be kept. As the seconds tick away, Takamiya makes the contract with the tree, and the other witches feel their magic coming back to them. Rinon and Natsume save the hostages and take down Week End.

They put her in a special cell, but they didn't search her, and she's wearing a suicide bomber's vest. She warns the young Workshop Witches not to think only of magic when it comes to fighting. The older ones knew how to fight. Week End breaks out of the cell with the explosives, while wearing some padded armor underneath the vest. She's still injured though, and even spits out a tooth.

Takamiya can now feel and "see" when people are injured in the city, and somehow Week End can communicate with him. Seeing that he didn't do anything when just Rinon and Natsume were hurt, she goads him into action by setting off more of her teddy bear bombs, and Takamiya heals all the injured witches, going against the rules of the regular contract. Week End seems to like this, because it's a change in how Workshop Witches work, and she gets to see his special power, the Craftwork of Fire. Takamiya can't stop himself from using more of his power, and Ayaka has to make him stop. Head butt!

Unleashing Takamiya's power seems to be the entire point of the whole operation, and Week End leaves the Workshop prison. However, there are other Tower Witches still running around, with Kasumi about to square off with one, and the other, the one who took "a regular flying knee," being tortured with a bad haircut by Chronoire, and they're giving us the clue that this blond witch might not be Week End. Chronoire knows her to be the information broker they saw before they found Takamiya. Plots within convoluted plots. Just when this show started to make sense, we find out we're still seeing only a small part of the board. Three dimensional chess with Tower Witches and a very pissed off Fire Witch Ayaka, coming next episode.
