From: Ciel Phantomhive (Asteria)

How can one be animate without a soul? (He asks this far from his shinki - just in case they take offense.) I do not understand how they move; how they speak; how they serve? The essence of life is one's spirit, surely?
(Though he cannot speak for demons, of course.)
I am venturing onto esoteric grounds, I know, but what better place to make such inquiries? Besides, I do not know if I am entirely comfortable sharing my home with one who is soulless.

The term "black arts" doesn't encompass all the magecraft. It merely depends on how and what for you use it. Homunculi can as well be servants as soldiers, although their lifespan is usually much shorter than humans.

Why only one magus? I would think the more magi, the better. (Unless they compete ruthlessly for some sort of prize or throne.) Have you considered the sorrow and the difficulty of the life you have given the homunculi? The gods can be cruel - they can turn their back on all of humanity - but humans already have short lives. I do not wish to imagine them shorter.

There can be only one heir of their family Magic Crest, much like there can only be one earl Phantomhive. As for the homunculi from what I've heard it's the process of their creation that forces various limitations upon them, be it a shorter lifespan, physical oddities or other shortcomings.
Unfortunately most of the magi are socially awkward idiots that are so absorbed in their research that things common sense would dictate don’t even register to them.

(Don't remind him there can only be one Earl Phantomhive. That's...sort of an issue.)
You do not seem enthusiastic to speak of their charms. I take it that I do not speak of one of their kind?
