The funniest part is that it only benefited Alice, Marisa took a massive downturn.
If we compare screen time then in the OGabusefic you have Marisa being a main character that got tons of screen time to the OGhanafic where she was a strong side character and angled to become a major character again.
Alice on the otherhand didn't even exist in either and became a meme early on, now she's a side character and only Shinki and Dolly's presence kept her with any staying power despite not having a real writefag.

You see anon Aunn is a divine(beast) spirit not a filthy youkai so uhh... she's not a filly fantasy fodder! Just don't ask a youkai hater the nature of their loved ones I suppose...
Same, my headcanon is that there is fields of magic like using it to supplement nutrition intake and countering aging which Marisa has been denying to study since it would turn her. I suppose it makes sense from the alchemical perspective since she is a western themed witch

Also a good point, elixirs of immortality in the western tradition leaned around making an philospher's stone which the threadbare research I did back during my college years pointed to it being a big load of fucky wucky since the stuff you'd need for it are entirely fantastical in nature and to even make it you'd need tools that don't exist. Though this being a lighter work it wouldn't matter.
Also good point on that, Marisa would be sacrificing her child, and thus most important desire to become something more which would be a good dramatic ending to her tale. I'd love to see the tragedy end personally but its something steep to consider for the short little thing
