Though, that is six months later, and she has presumably been practicing. By this point the math she needs for divine shooter (and any other spell she can manage device-less) could be within her grasp.. We don't know the limit of her intellect, but (1) she is an anime heroine, (2) she is frequently referred to a being academically smart and is a natural at magic (3) all the kids in Nanoha have near adult mental development anyway - if she is practicing the necessary math with Raging Heart everyday, within 6 months she might have graped it - perhaps intuitively rather than formally. It's difficult to say what these mages have to conceptualise to cast their spells.. I imagine telepathic communication and virtual visualisation tools (as per the manga) would make for good teaching aids, too. @Keroko: I'm not sure about your tank analogy. A device is an aid to spell casting, while a tank is everything to a tank crew. After all, even without her 'tank', Nanoha can still cast spells. And Yuuno has no device, but is far from harmless. I think Nightengale's calculator analogy is more apt.. she is used to having a lot of the nitty gritty of spell casting off-loaded onto her I.D. (In the same way that having an address book in my mobile phone has made my memory for phone numbers sloppy - I used to remember them all) But as people have pointed out, she practices spell casting device-less sometimes, this might be to make sure she does not let those skills deteriorate (which would be what I called 'going soft' from over-reliance on her device). |

Transformation to ferret? Or back again?
When Arf transformed to wolf form and back to human form, she did not use a circle either (ep 5, season1). Apparently for multi-formed creatures (like Yuuno and Arf) a circle is not necessary. This probably only applies to their 'true' forms. It seems Arf can change her 'true' form with time (like her chibi forms), but I'm guessing she only has a couple of 'pre-set slots', as it were.. I'm guessing that they would still require a circle for disguise magic. |

I still remember her reply to "are you alive?" - "S-somehow..." It was absolutely golden. Hmm... Ok maybe more like golden brown. Besides it'll be pretty haxx, if not overtrivializing, if they turned team damage off. Fate: (caught in swordlock) Dam he's strong... Nanoha: STARLIGHT BREAKER+ Enemy: What?! She's cra-- (swallowed up) The blast simmers for a while, then out of a puff in the plume comes Fate Fate: NANOHA! YOU RUINED MY HAIR!!! Nanoha: Ah-hahaha... Gome, gome!

If your talking about YnS, isn't she outside of the blast radius since that SLB was fired at a ~60degree angle |
