Yeah, Signum totally nullifies that cut she received from Bardiche xDU. There's a small difference between withstanding and right out cancel but is still a notable small difference. Again it's useless to repeat the same discussion we already have with the "Haxbein" thing xDU. And Signum's effectiveness against Cypha is also testament of how different the two situations are, Signum's Panzegeist was strong enough to effortlessly withstand Fate's Photon lancer, she openly receives the attacks withstandig it's strenght and effects. Cypha nullifies Signum/Agito's multi fireball spell, she didn't withstand it's power she simply dispells it like if never existed. Signum's panzergeist can resist Photon Lancer but i really doubt it can withstand Nanoha's pre-cartridge Divine Buster just like that(even Vita, who is even tougher than Signum, dodges the attack). Cypha's anti-magic on the other hand can nullify arguably anything magical linked without worrying about things lis toughness, endurance or power level.

Well, yeah. Tsuzuki brings the old cast back so the fans can watch Nanoha back on action, he also takes the good opportunity to get rid of unpopular characters apparently xDU.

This.
There wasn't anything bad with the way their powers are developing, but probably is Tsuzuki himself the one that got bored and decide to change things xDU.
