Line 244:

** Strong magicians CAN turn into youkai, they don't do so automatically. [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento:_Encyclopedia:_Sorcerer This article from PMiSS explains it quite well.] And actually, it was Alice who mentioned being interested in the Hourai Elixir when facing Mokou in Imperishable Night; Marisa explicitly stated that she ''wasn't'' interested.

** About that, I was checking the wikia and found this line in her Perfect Cherry Blossom profile:

{{quote| On another topic, the elixir of immortality she had been developing during the winter ended up being too large for consumption. More improvement required.}}

{{quote|On another topic, the elixir of immortality she had been developing during the winter ended up being too large for consumption. More improvement required.}}

** She indeed tried to create the (or an) elixir of immortality.

** Perfect memento in strict sense infers that yes, she may become a youkai in the future. However, how strong a magic user you need to be, and now strong Marisa actually is, are unclear (Her magic is powered by external means, and we only ever see her using it in spellcard duels, in which power is irrelevant). Alice became a youkai from extensive training and "high dexterity", and she had a grimoire which elevated her from a stage 3 boss to an ex one to help her along.
