Nanase is an Aztec warrior slain as a sacrifice to the Sun? 

 

Ok.  I guess that makes sense. 

Running through the list of animals with similarly high metabolisms, the one that comes to mind is the Shrew.

And Tedd would not survive if he called Nanase a Shrew. 

 . . . . . 

Thinking back to my own college cafeteria experience, I recall substances without much flavour but very high levels of fat, sugar, and other carbohydrates.   If Nanase can use calories to power her magic, the campus meal service may be perfect for her. Provided she uses magic at least as fast as she consumes the "food".

That sounds really unhealthy. OTOH, we have no context for how magic metabolism works. In my tentative head canon, it is based in the brain, and eating what is good for your brain should be what fuels your magic ability.

Which makes me wonder, "Does coffee have an affect on magic ability?"

If there was any evidence (annecdotal or scientific) that coffee affected magic, Edward Verres would know.  His only comment on the subject was to tell Tedd caffiene stunts your growth.

But wasn't that while Tedd was thought to have no magical capability?
