I think the big problem is, and this has been stated before... a Celestial mage like Lucy has the potential to be freakishly OP. I mean, she can summon 10 different spirits now, two at a time, which gives insane possibilities for combos. The strength of her spirits is equal to her magic strength, so if her magic power was on par with someone like Gray or Natsu or Erza, she'd essentially enter into any fight with a 10 on 1 advantage. No one would be able to stand up to her.

I mean, if her magic power was on par with Flare's, she could use gemini to copy all of Flare's powers, knowledge, and skills... and then summon one more spirit (cancer to keep cutting Flare's hair?). And now Flare is facing herself, a spirit that is destroying her only advantage, and Lucy with a whip. She wouldn't have had a chance.

Thus, Mashima needs to make her kinda weak in comparison to other people, or risk making her too overpowered. It's a delicate situation, and I'd kinda agree that he could do a bit better.
