Before the sealing (1885, Meiji era), humans and youkai fought to the death. Exorcists and priests hunted them, and the youkai fed on humans.
With modernization, people stopped believing in youkai. Without fear or faith, the youkai weakened, and from this arose the idea of ​​Gensokyo as a refuge.
Yukari and the Hakurei sealed the region with the Great Hakurei Barrier and the Youkai Barrier.
The problem he solved
Within Gensokyo, there was an imbalance. Youkai needed to frighten and attack humans to exist, but if they killed them, they were left without sustenance. Humans, on the other hand, were much weaker.
A way was needed for a human to face a youkai without dying, and for the youkai to be able to win or lose without serious consequences.
The incidents (ihen) usually ended in actual fighting, and that jeopardized the balance.
The Rules of Spell Cards
They were proposed by Reimu Hakurei, and it is often said that with Yukari's support or influence. The exact degree of each one's involvement is not entirely clear.
They establish a stylized duel:
The name of each attack (the Spell Card) is declared.
Each attack must be able to be dodged.
It must be beautiful. That's the most important part.
If the challenger loses all his cards, he loses the duel.
Neither the winner nor the loser dies.
The goal: youkai can safely challenge humans, and humans (like Reimu) can resolve incidents without massacres.
When did it start
The series positions incidents like Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (the Scarlet Mist) as among the first resolved using this system. However, the PC-98 games also use danmaku, and the lore doesn't clarify how much of the system already existed.
Over time, it spread until it became the norm. Even the most powerful youkai respect it, although they can ignore it if it suits them.
Evolution and philosophy
Reimu sees it as a practical tool to fulfill her duty.
Marisa defends it as a matter of "power," while others see it
