(Gah, sorry this is a late reply. I seriously get no notifications on this wiki whatsoever for some reason.) It's heavily implied that something went wrong 400 years ago. Why would she willingly absorb something that would ruin her and everyone's lives? It seems out of character for her to do considering how caring and kind she appears to be.

Besides, since Pandora can literally manipulate reality itself, can we even be sure of which timeline she belongs to? In mythology, Pandora was the one that unleashed all evil upon the world. I know that the witches and bishops have names referencing the stars and asteroids, but it's impossible to miss some of the mythological references.

I'm not even sure if the witch genes themselves are related to the witches in any way. The authorities themselves behave like high-level spells with drawbacks. From Echidna's backstory it shows that she used to be reasonable and caring (generous, in fact) but fell into despair when she couldn't protect everyone and then turned to greed. But nowhere does it state when or how she acquired her Authority of Greed. From the summary alone, it seems like the authority just appeared out of nowhere one day... which is really suspicious. Again, I don't have much knowledge about the whole thing due to how hard it is to find translations (plus I have no means to purchase the Light Novels, so there's that) and the only translation site I found is very hard to navigate around.

(TL;DR: The whole Witch Genes and Authorities concept seems really fishy so far. Excuse me if I'm missing some obvious details because I seriously cannot locate translations nor buy the official release despite how much I want to read the whole thing.)
