In the first seven seasons, human world and magic world existed in parallel without attempts to conquer each other. Incidentally, demons and sorcerers exploited human foibles but demons didn't want to rule human world.
Um... isn't ruling the human world exactly what the Master wanted to do? With 'The Wish' there to show us what things would look like if he won? And Mayor Wilkins was a human sorceror who wanted to become the demonic ruler of humanity - much like Roden.
if Roden can teleport any person to any place, he rules the world by default.
I think that's a big assumption. So far, all we've seen him do is teleport one specific person to his own location. The wording of his spell - "Bring the first of the last to me" - implies that that's all he can do. In fact, since he's casting the spell at twilight and invoking the power of "the magic hour", it looks like he can only cast the spell at one precise moment, too...
I'm guessing that whatever evil magic ritual Roden is planning requires that Buffy (the source of the Slayer power, the first of the last) is killed by another Slayer. That's why he needs Gigi. (Or maybe the ritual will also work if you substitute Faith for Buffy?).
Buffy and other slayers are just puppets in the battle of wizards and witches.
It's a fine line; but I think both Buffy and Willow herself would reject that idea. Willow might have the raw power, but as a rule (Season 6 being the exception, of course) she respects Buffy's leadership and decision-making ability. It's the difference between a soldier carrying a big, powerful weapon, and his commanding officer armed with nothing but a map and a radio. Who's the most powerful?
Gigi talking about "just another filthy pedo" was quite disturbing. Was she raped?
since Willow talks about "defences" does it mean they have missiles and other stuff?
In the previous issue she's discussing that very question with Dawn and Renee - she says that the radar can only warn them if there are bad guys approaching, and asks what they do to them once they arrive. Dawn, you'll notice, is casually ruthless; it's interesting that her sister gets asked the same question by Willow this issue, and is rather more ambivalent. It's obviously something that's bothering Willow a lot...

She sounds a bit too blasé about it for it to be anything so extreme, but maybe a previous tutor did get a bit over-familiar. For that matter, I think Gigi's the sort of person to make up stories about a tutor she disliked making sexual advances to her, just to get him fired.
