Which frankly seems ridiculous; it's never been said that her barrier jacket enhanced her strength, and she's never needed or displayed superhuman strength before.

Other than, yes, the time when the concrete roof cracked under her feet. But if that much force was penetrating her defensive spell, her unprotected body should have been pulped.


Basically, the cracking flooring is just because it looks cool. Rather like how fighters in Dragon Ball Z kept acting like being smashed into mountainsides HURT, even well after the point when all of them should have been so strong that mere stone was like tissue paper and marshmellows.
