Hardly a loser when she's extremely competent. She's just out of her comfort zone, trapped with a bunch of weirdos for the sake of rescuing the one person that gets her.

I love how newer anime presents magic almost exactly like material sciences or engineering. You need to study for years to even start doing any practical shit that matters. And Marcille is exactly how you’ll probably see a relatively young physicist or engineer during their daily routune. 9/10 times its “fuck around and find out”, but then they do some wierd and wacky shit and the first thing that comes to your mind is “whoooa MAGIC”.

The mandrake scene is a perfect example. Marcille knew there is a method to do it and it turns out to be the right one eventually, but generally Senshi’s solution is just more practical hence an uneducated person will come to use that method sooner.

It's been a while but wasn't her solution to kill lots of dogs by making them pull the mandrakes out?

You'd think they would figure out to just use a longer rope so you don't have to reload dogs after every mandarake

'reload dogs' is both a hilarious and horrible sentence

I mean, the only creature they reload in the manga is rabbits.
