I'm assuming it's standardization, like for most militaries. However, the TSAB seems more lax in the acceptance of custom devices. I'm assuming this is because MOST people don't know how to make their own devices, or simply don't care, and as such the TSAB provides standard issue staves (or for Belka users, spears). for most of the trainees, but lets custom device users train with their own designs, as is the case with Subaru and Teana. Also, the training given to Subaru and Teana in A's to StrikerS indicates that in some sense, custom device users are given slightly modified regiments to better augment their magic style. Afterall, why waste a person's aptitude in a certain specialty by diluting them into generalists?
