Well in canon the TSAB only uses 2 magic forms and Jail is well versed in the ways of both Canons... and hence able to use AMF against the TSAB very effectively.

And there is a Canonical statement of other Magical forms/Canons existing

Jail may have knowledge of about 2 or more other Magical Canons, but since he's only fighting the TSAB- which uses only two types of Magical Canons, he does not use his other magical knowledge since he knows what he's doing when he started using AMF against the Bureau. If the Bureau had embraced more Magical Canons, then Jail would have plotted even longer...

And this is just for Rebuilt

And you said the proper words as well...

"Magic is more of a Science that can be understood, albeit one with mysterious ways."

How can Jail's AMF counter the 800+ Magical Canons in the multiverse?

Is Jail ready to take on at least 800+ other kinds of mages with who knows what kind of skills and spells?

Even with a clear mind one cannot think of countermeasures for such a wide array of threats- even threats that had been countered will find a way to break it.

and there is a possibility of a "Why is this not found in our records?!!" and "I thought we cataloged them all!!" scenario.

And besides, what could a mere Templar like shim do against the masses?

*senses Silvana incoming*

And more magic forms, the better...
