I liked Brother Spider-man's idea of the first Pure Titans being created from failed attempts to divide/transfer the Titan Shifters powers. Maybe they tried to feed one of Ymir's daughters dead body to more than 3 descendents, or even non descendent humans, and only 3 of those descendents inherited some of her shifting powers, the others turned into pure titans, and maybe nothing happened to the non-descendents.

I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't clear before, I don't think having magic in these fantasy worlds is a problem. My problem is with inconsistent magic. In the DC Universe, the Flash can move with SUUUPER Speed, and that's fine, because it's a rule we already know and accept as a fact in that world. Now, if out of the blue the Flash starts to shoot laser beams from his hands, that would be "magic" in that world, something that would break the rules as we knew.

Eren using the Rumbling is fine, as you've said, we knew about that power for some time. The problem is his new form. We can assume he will probably have some amazing new powers to go with the new look. For some time, the world knew about the 9 Titans and even their respective powers (more or less). Maybe previous Founding Titan Kings have used its powers in amazing different ways in recorded history, like the creation of the Walls, unfortunately we, the readers, don't know much else. Eren now yields power closer to Ymir than anyone else we know of, and since Ymir has died 2000 ago, to the point the world doesn't even remember if she was real or not, there is no way of knowing what her powers were, nor what Eren can do now. Right now, the author has given Eren a "magic" card, he could manifest any supernatural power that is convenient to him, or the story, but I just hope he doesn't. This sort of sloppy world building bothers me.

Since Zeke said the Founding Titan could ask Ymir to change the physiology of all eldians, it's imaginable that Eren could ask Ymir to remove the "Curse of Ymir" and turn all eldians into "just humans". But, if Eren can indeed do this, I would be very disappointed, because that would mean King Karl Fritz was an idiot for not doing this before, and also because it becomes one of those "magical solutions" to the main problems of the story I was talking about.

Look, I think the author put a lot of effort into creating a story with some interesting characters, conflicting moral dilemmas, foreshadow, references that tie the narrative to north mythology and WWII, and even attempted to make a very elaborate stable time loop. So, for all of that, I'm willing to overlook some of the plot holes, inconsistencies and new powers/rules that were introduced along the way.

P.S.: A theory about the Paths Realm - The Founding Titan is connected to all eldians through the paths, since we saw he was able to speak to all of them at once. He can also change the memories of all of them, as it's been told several times. We also know the memories of those who are already dead are accessible through the paths, though we don't know exactly "where" those memories are stored, inside that hosts body/mind or are part of the Paths itself, or maybe all in that central pilar, "Yggdrasil's" trunk, aka the Founding Titan. Right now, Eren could use his infinite time in the paths to visit all the memories of all the eldians in the world, and as such all these memories would become part of his memories, therefore, if the previous Founding Titans have also used that infinite time to see the memories of all eldians alive in previous times, it's possible that the memories of all the SoY that have ever existed are all there, still accessible by the Founding Titan.
