Once again. You're saying what, not how or why. As far as it goes, magic in this show involves suppressing a monster, putting a magic jewel in a ring and getting an annoying belt. Where do these stones come from? What is the belt, and how does it work? Why not turn those stones into bullets or something more practical? And yes, I am splitting hairs, but as I said a few posts above, magic is already a thing unlike homunculus medals or switches that control the universe or whatever, so there is no excuse for how little is explored or explained at all in this shows mythology. Exploration and playing with mythology is like the main thing I love about urban fantasy so I hate the lack of it here.
Hell for that matter, what is a Phantom, where does it come from? Why isn't everyone a Gate? These are the unique aspects of this shows lore, so at least explain these.
Phantoms are a species, with many subspecies populating their ranks. Why are some people Gates? I would think the same question can be asked for why some people have blonde hair or black hair or brown hair or purple hair with hot-pink polka dots. The belt is basically a magic wand. You could turn Magic Stones into bullets, but people just don't want to. Magic Stones come from Carbuncle Phantoms.
Most of our complaints are really nitpicks. I don't understand why you question a belt with a swappable hand buckle and how it works, and not a control panel that you shove switches into to gain power from a type of energy that doesn't exist in our universe.
