Just because she's been honest with Land about what she wants doesn't mean she never lies. She did a pretty good job manipulating him into saving her against her clone.
There's a third test, it makes sense she'd want to keep some secrets or lie about her true abilities since there's a chance they may get pitted against each other next time.

Besides, I don't think Ubel has any other useful offensive spells anyway. She started using Solganiel as soon as she learned it. If she had other useful shit, she would have used it.

Having more spells gives you more options. They described magic battles as a game of rock paper scissors in this episode. Having all three would be highly beneficial.
I'm not saying Übel could beat them all for sure. I'm saying we just don't know and we can't take her words at face value. It could be she's only as strong as she's been presented, or she could be stronger. Again, we don't know.
I mean, the main character of this show is constantly suppressing her real power level so her enemies underestimate her. Why can't others do something similar?
