Then again, it's interesting how the new system works. Since demons aren't born from magical girls, no transformation takes place. We don't know whether Kyuubey needed actual grief seeds as batteries or not, but it sure looks like the giref cubes Puellae Magi now harvest from demons are the only energy sourse. Or... is the energy released at the moment the demon is defeated? Doubtful, since it should have worked the same way with witches.
I had the vague impression that turning into a PM released some energy... that killing witches also released some energy, but that transforming into a witch released the most energy.

But I might be completely wrong, I still have not watched the show again.

Also, if the energy released is not released as heat, how can someone detect that?
