That would actually be a requirement for it to be useful for anything besides ceremonial spells. Think of it like throwing a brick at a plate glass window, or an AMF blade into a magic sigil; doesn't take long to do its' job, but it can't be done from too far away either. In Asuna's case, her magic canceling abilities only work in melee distance. Not so much killing spells being cast as having a natural resistance to magic damage (notice: not physical damage. That's what Knight Armor is for).

This background is even more outlandish than the previous one, 'heir to the throne of the universe?' 'Formidable fighter at 6?' I'd much prefer the old background to this one.
Pardon, not 'universe', just 'world'. And the emphasis is supposed to be more on his cadre of bodyguards, not Alex himself. Alex would have been something like a high C-rank with a little experience with armed combat. Think of what Spartan kids went through in 300 and you've got the basic idea.

Is she on par with an magic augmented B-rank knight or a non-augmented one? Since even at B-rank, the should know some spells that allow them to enhance their abilities, similar to what is seen in Canon by the other belka users.
Her training makes her on par with a magic-enhanced B-rank at all times. The catch is that she can only use the most basic enhancement magic on herself due to the limitations of her magic system.

Think of it this way; she's stronger than your typical knight at all times, no enhancements necessary, but she can't reach the same power levels that a Belkan Knight using the cartridge system and top-tier enhancement spells can achieve for short periods.
