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.

You see, this all sounds really cool, if the show had explored all of this I probably would have enjoyed this episode way more. But yeah, this is the first major criticism I've had with the series really, for reasons I've explain multiple times and am going to explain to Den-O again.

No one questions why fangire exist in Kiva and have a hierarchy based on kings and queens. They just do, that's the nature of their race. Or how on Earth Kanzaki Shiro created high tech card decks and suits of armor for people to fight a rider war in Ryuki, when he was just a college student. He just did it, it was a basic premise of the series. Things like that don't always need ot be explained. You're looking way in depth for something that doesn't really need an explanation to be valid. That's just the way things are in Wizards' world.

Because magic is a thing. I can cut some slack for writers trying completely original ideas, but the whole magic and wizards thing has been fine tuned by authors for hundreds of years. When you're making it from the ground up, there is bound to be points where you literally can't answering everything and I wouldn't expect you too. But Wizard's writers, if ever stuck, only need to pop onto the nearest Wikipedia page for inspiration. There are like a billion magic types, and a billion more variations on the mythology, so how can everything in this show be so poorly realised? I understand space switches more than I understand the magic in this show, and there is a problem when that is a sentence you write with conviction.
