It's not Magane, she's more logic bending in how you need to consider things a bit backwards to understand how her power works.
The intellectual aspect is more the whole investigation into the notion of these creations and creators and how you can change the creations by creators, but also the viewers/readers in popularity. Fate is more popular by comparison, because the premise at least is somewhat simpler, from what I understand, the complexity is in character abilities and the fights
The series took place over maybe...2-3 months? It's also weird how they did the whole planning for stuff into 2017 in universe.
