Think about that for a moment. She needs to go that far to completely outrun a Belkan user. One who doesn't even specialize in speed to begin with. One who was holding back. Does that not tell you who has the advantage in physical enhancement here? |

Don't remind me, by most logic the girls wouldn't have been able to win at all.
But hey, I see your strawman and I choose to ignore it. Fate could not surpass Signum's physical enhancement magic without going to the extreme, showing which style has the upper hand here. |

See, there you go again, claiming that I'm saying one entire style is inferior to the other. That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that the fight between Fate and Signum shows that Belka is better at physical enhancement. A fact supported by every single piece of canon discussing the styles.
Mid's better at blasting things from range and huge beam'o'wars, Belka's better at smashing things up close and making you better at doing so. It's that simple. The styles overlap on occasion, but when push comes to shove, both are better at what they do best. |

Is just on screen and how I see it. In the end beyond the lights and the attacks Belka and Mid seems really much the same and affect the same. They are both base in using magic to blow things up. At its core magic is being use as a weapon and seems to focus on the destructive part of it. Spells like healing, illusions and others playing lower roles and just being perform by a few characters. To me magic styles need to be more than just a close range attack and a long range one and between Belka and Mid there is no much and even that difference can be easily avoid by some characters proving is possible to go beyond the limit and make them not that different.

Oscillating Breaker can also be translated into a different name, like Vibration Shatter. It is NOT a Breaker-type magic or attack. In this case, the "Breaker" in its name is very much literal, unlike Starlight Breaker's.

Ragnarok seems to be a combination of both, since it generates a second circle for firing, which ends up as a Belkan triangle. While Hresvelgr is in the reverse... though I'm sure that's not a Breaker-type magic.
Either way, it's not a real qualifier as a Belkan Breaker-type magic.
