Are you basing any of this on information from the Light Novel translations hosted at Baka Tsuki? (Of which I've read very little, yet.)

Because if you aren't, your arguments don't seem to have any weight at all.


The inability to un-equip a combat ability is not really a weakness at all. Silver Crow's wings don't come off, but they have a storage mode. Lime Bell's Choir Chime "arm cannon" can also disappear, assuming it's not an Armament like the Pile Driver.

As for conflicting with existing body parts... what conflict would there be, for items one starts with or gains through upgrade points? If Sky Raker started with the Gale Thruster, or gained it through leveling up, it could have easily been part of her avatar.

Even your own example of wings and thrusters conflicting didn't happen at all. Further, Enhanced Armaments are noted to change appearance and form to match different users, such as how the Armor of Catastrophe did for each Chrome Disaster, and how Silver Crow's wings did for Noumi.
