Well, she was the one that could imagine what it'd look like. Had she imagined a rifle, would it have changed Raising Heart's function?

That's... sort of the point of a weapon isn't it? Beating the enemy?

I think this started with whether it would be better to have a rifle or a staff.

You're stil; saying jerking as if the staff would make 180 degree turns, its a small nudge hardly noticable at all unless you aim the complete other way.

Which is why I'm saying it doesn't take megatons of energy.

Right, soooo how did she get there?

And yet Team B is known and praised as the elites, often being the best with a slip-up or two. Team A screws up and becomes depressed about it. Getting themselves in danger or even giving up their jobs.

Wait, roll back, I think we are completely talking past eachother, let's start from the basic idea:

What I think, and what I have always been saying, as that both Devices and Barrier Jackets are made out of magical energy turned into the eventual solid material.

In Fate's case, it was clear that there was no intent to make someone super l33t.
Well, Fate was concidered an 'inferior copy' as well, and yet in terms of magical capabillities she exceeded Alicia. Also, once more, the intention came from Jail. I mean hell, he even went ranting in episode 24 about how great the powers of Project F were, even praising his results on Fate seconds before getting homerunned.
