Anime and Manga Topic 272: You Are Now Stone Free

Board 8

It's a world where everyone has the capacity to use magic because it's all based on the drawing of glyphs, but because of its misuse of the past the public doesn't know what, and only a select few are actually trained in the use of it as "witches" under the assumption of the masses that they were born with the ability. Main character is a girl who was tricked into using magic by the bad guys and turned her mother to stone, now training alongside other girls in order to find a way to turn her mother back.

There's a lot more to it, of course, that's just the basic chapter 1 premise.

This comparison may not feel right to some, but to me, it's what if all the mystical Shierke sections of Berserk were turned into a whole manga.
