However, she lacks formal training with Magecraft, which means that while she is incredibly powerful and can easily kill most Servants and humans, she isn't outright stronger than most Servants without her regeneration and ability to devour them, and its noted that someone like Gilgamesh could have killed her if she had not devoured him quick enough. Her lack of skill also means when she encounters Rin armed with the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch, which gives Rin enough of an edge to even the playing field, she has no way of defending herself beyond merely throwing her raw power at her, especially when it is revealed Rin never intended to kill her. It's thanks to her raw mana though that both Rider and Saber Alter become so powerful and dangerous as well.

Even after he recovered, she continued to visit him and attempts to do all the chores at his house due to her massive crush on him, which he attempts to ignore.
