But the flying bit isn't explained, in other words we know she can fly because that's just the way it is. But with those balls the explanation is that she hits them all with the hammer and the fly away. Which is a impossible move.

I think this is possible as there's no physical component to the attack, so no hard object to deal physical base damage; and so by changing the form of energy the spell is charged with (lets say instead of intense thermal energy, raw "anti-mana" is used) the damage dealt changes.
There was talk about uniqueness, perhaps the casters are unique, in the form of damage ration (physical and magical and elemental) they are able to deal.

Most likely true for pure magic damage.
But certainly not for elemental or physical damage.

Take Fate's injury to the leg in A's when fighting Signum in planet X.
Her barrier jacket seemed ok.
