How about finding evidence that explicity says draining a linker core to nothing IS fatal xDU

Seriously, it can go both ways, FanFiction can do as they wishes and make it lethal anyway so why the complain o.o?

Nanoha A's was pretty tame with lethal stuff, only impliying things and having the Wolkenritter background as killers. It's interesting how StrikerS, being much darker, never brought anything about Linker core removal (again, some doujin/fanfic writers stretched things a wee bit too far from canon) and by the time FORCE takes place it's barely mentioned at all (in fact do someone remeber any mention of a linker core in FORCE? i would like to know xDU).

Linker Core draining was a convenient way to "defeat" or "injure" a character without, you know, really injuring or killng it xDU Kinda like the "Shadow Realm" in Yu-Gi-Oh! xDU
