Hikaru gets one in the first episode when she uses magic for the first time, complete with Theme Music Powerup.
The first time the girls summon their borrowed weapons in the manga. Made even cooler when Umi realizes she's not the only one who knows how to use a weapon and compliments the others on it.
One word during the climax of episode 6 of the anime: "ESCUDO!"
Fuu gets one in episode 7 of the anime when she slices the Monster of the Week in half as it tries to eat her.
Hikaru has one that lasts half of episode 14 wherein she chases a monster that abducts Umi and Fuu. She charges headlong through a forest of thorns, gets knocked into a canyon, falls three times while climbing out, and, despite being quite a bloody mess, still has the strength to take out the monster in one hit from her sword and a magic spell. Determinator doesn't even begin to describe it.
Not only that—she figures out that the monster is able to smell out blood like a shark, so she cuts herself with her own sword in order to make it come back so she can kill it.
Hikaru vs. Lafarga, especially her Badass Boast in determining to win using only the sword despite being completely outclassed.
In the manga, Fuu's battle with Caldina. Her friends have been hypnotized to kill her, so she invents a spell on the spot to bind them. Then when Caldina takes control of her, she breaks the enchantment through sheer willpower and invents a second spell to take her out.
