Actually makes sense even if it does come only from the caster. After all, if the mages have limited output on a per-second basis longer spellcasting = more power s a natural assumption.

Though such a mechanism limits the advantage of collection spells to probably just an increase in speed over ritual magic.

Actually does anyone mind bringing to the table thoughts on exactly how Nanoha mages are limited in calling up magical energy? I always got the impression from Chrono's 'exceeding the limits of her througput' comment that they were only limited by how much they could channel at once, not some larger store like Slayers/most RPG characters/etc., but now that I think about it the statement could just as easily be taken to establish a secondary limit on volume of throughput over larger timescales.
