Just picking up sesame seeds and dropping the watermelon, is that right?
However, you can't entirely blame Hyakki for not being strong enough. After all, most of the Hyakki in Japan are pitiful people with tragic backgrounds. They couldn't find other ways to become stronger, so they went to Monster Mountain to seek the forbidden techniques of Demonic Buddhism. Naturally, you can't expect them to have a high cultural level.
Most Hyakki witches actually gain a bit of the seed of primitive power from their heritage. As for how to use and develop this demon power, it emphasizes barbaric growth.
In short, we don't expect every Hyakki witch to cultivate Buddhist Law to great achievement and then attain the Bodhisattva State of Mind like Dorothy. Understanding Buddhist Law is elusive; if you get it, you've got it. If not, it's like studying advanced mathematics - you just can't solve that problem.
