Indeed, I should have phrased that differently. My point was that skills in different areas rarely overlap to the point where no training in the specific areas is required. Can I buy Lutecia being talented? Sure, I already said as much. Will I buy that for the sole reason of making device construction something super difficult? No. We've seen kids building devices before, Lutecia is just one more. One with considerably more motivation and experience (as shown by the difference in performance between Teana and Subaru's "youtube devices" and Lutecia's Brunzel), but still not some genius who mysteriously mastered the super difficult art of device construction.

Oh, didn't you know? Caro's device is a storage device optimized for support. |

Well, it looks like this is soon coming to an end, unless someone else intervenes xD

Those are more or less the "reasons" for why they're considered in the middle between Storage and Intelligent Devices AI-wise. Quote:
By the way you're making unfair comparissions here. Raising Heart and Bardiche are damn good devices at their time. StrikerS have a 10-year timeskip. Naturally technollogy rapidly advanced in such a large gap and common devices catched up tu RH's level as also being blessed by other benefits(safest mid-usable cartridge system, more advanced AI's, easier cooperation between ID's and SD's, Modern Armed Devices, etc...). The fact that Raising Heart and Bardiche remain usefull and among the best weapons even after all those years is enough proof of the great quality they have.

What pet theory or interpretation was relying on it? We can all agree that combat-grade Devices are more expensive because of the stronger parts required, giving a Device an Intelligence is also more expensive than mere Storage. I think we all agree that they are unpopular because of their potential willfulness. Those factors combined should be plenty enough to make combat-grade Intelligent Devices rare, and something of a major investment. (But probably, an expert like Mari or Shari was needed to give the Caliburs the ability to auto-cast an IS like Wind Road.) Quote:
When it seemed like Signum might have hesistated, Laevantein called her on it. I think Vita and Graf Eisen had a similar exchange when they stormed the Saint's Cradle. Clearly, these are more than mere programmed vocal responses, like Durandal's "Okay, Boss." Quote:

Also, I must correct myself. Kerykeion is not a storage device, it is a boost device. It is still, however, noted to have a personality. |

Building a car nowadays isn't hard. Go back a few hundred years, and it would be difficult.
In other words, because of the technology base present and the greater knowledge that can be obtained, constructing a device might not be too difficult to one who has the motivation to learn to do so. However, given the costs involved, which are generally reflective of both parts and labor involved, a good device would be fairly difficult to do. Teana and Subaru made their own, too, and they were a far cry from the devices the mains have used. If we're going to bring Lu in as an example, then Teana and Subaru can be brought in as counter-examples. If making a device was so easy, Teana and Subaru should have made better ones. |

Subaru inherited her device, and Teana didn't seem to have the necessary money and down time to really work on hers. |

I didn't matter that much, we know it's a clan of archeologists and we know investigator =/= mage necessary. Being a magic user is a good advantage but with enough intellect, resources and determination everyone can be an investigator xD.
...just like someone without any magic at all can rise in ranks until becoming a General in the army of a Magical Society, isn't that right Regius?

The Scrya standing around Yuuno in the flashback are all wearing barrier jackets strongly resembling Yuuno's own armor.
Besides, SOMEONE had to be teaching him, especially if the Clan spent most of their time searching and excavating away from inhabitated areas. Also, why else would Yuuno's family let him go alone when they could help? Powerful Mage or not, even the Mid-Childans believe in supervising children doing dangerous tasks, especially away from home or hospitals. And if their society still considers children too young to raise other children, they wouldn't let them waltz around an unadiminsteredmplanet when it's forbidden to reveal magic to the natives. |

Yup, that's the sad-but-true answer, Season One was made on a whim and have a LOT of plot holes. When A's came out alot of inconsistencies staerted to rise and by the time StrikerS appeaed it becomes painfully obvious that Tsuzuki originally wasn't intended for the story to go past Nanoha and Fate tearjerking farewell at the bay.
