On the Arc's blast radius range, even the chinese trans uses "over a hundred km". This looks like yet another mistrans.
However, that's just the size of the dimensional distortions it produces. Secondary damage effects probably extend well beyond 200km from the blast point. |

But if you blasted a big say 1000km hole into the ocean that would be a lot of water suddenly rushing in and stuff... But I believe the Arc also has a very big secondary radius. Since they said even if they moved out to the ocean the "distortions would still cause victims".

1000km is a little more than France, from north to south or east to west. |

One possibility is that since the Arc-En-Ciel directly distorts spacetime is that an Arc Detonation also produces a pseudo-Gravity-well effect as a secondary effect. (being that according to general and special relativatiy, Gravity is the visible manifestation of
distortions in spacetime...) so, The ship firing the Arc may initially be outside the primary area of effect, but may if it's not careful end up getting sucked into the Primary area of effect by this secondary pseudo-Gravity-well effect. This would explain the whole 'area of effect larger than it's range' issue, since the primary are of effect is not, but the secondary could be. It would also explain why ship's need to translate immediately after firing... |

Actually with regards to the bulletproof vest (the correct term is body armor) it depends on the vest; Class I to Class IIA vests are soft vest relying on kevlar layers alone; Class III and Class IV military vests use layered kevlar and a hard armor insert plate to defeat the incoming bullet. (Previous insert plates were made from steel but are now made from ceramic composites.) There's a cloth outer layer that's thin and holds the vest together. Bullet hits the cloth and then the first kevlar layers, then hits the insert plate and is stopped.

1.Oh? is that Why, in A's, Nanoha couldn't do a regular Divind Buster and had to both make a barrel shot, and then a barely controled spell that split? Ok... O.o 2. Zest was a failed Experiment, but that doesn't change the Fact he couldn't use a powerful spell because of the stress it inflicted on its body. ^^ So there *is* a stress. 3. If you use 1000000 layers of barriers, it wouldn't make a difference. "Diving Buster" is a cntinuous spell, meaning that the moment it crushes a barrier its back at full strength. It's either a strong barrier, or dodge! 4. Magic isn't KI. Magic is *harmful* in too great quantity. It said so in the show. Please, do not contradict the show. |

Let me make one thing absoutely clear here; when I talk about overboosted spells, I'm not talking about spells boosted beyond the mage's ability to control. I'm talking about spells with more power than they were originally designed to make use of. Picture how Naruto always makes hundreds of clones of himself when most ninja can only make two or three. Same concept goes for mages; I'm envisioning Hayate using an S-rank spell but boosting it into the SS-rank because of her control issues, not boosting a SS-rank spell into the SSS-range. Boosting a spell beyond your linker core's ability to power is going to cause problems no matter who you are or how high your mage rank is. Quote:

Mmms...either it stresses the body, or the linker core stressing stresses the body. Either case, using too much magic stresses the body (Nanoha bleeding, othercharacter puffing). Oh ,and Quattro didn't talk about linker core. She talked about the body. Like ,too much magic in Nanoha's Body.
Barrel shot and force burst...it is my explanation, but i always thought those wre an incomplete version fo divine buster (Barrel shot to calibrate, force burst looked uncontrolled and wild). While i don't have the quote right now, i am pretty sure they atalked about magical nergy in body, not linker core stressing. |

As for Barrel Shot and Force Burst, I'd like to direct you to Nanoha's wikipedia page, Ark. Both of those are separate support spells for Excelion Buster with distinct uses, not "incomplete versions" of Divine Buster.
