1* In the anime, why didn't Fuu try to [[spoiler: use her healing spell on Presea?]]
2** There's a flashback scene in one of the later episodes taking place after the trio's first battle with one of Ascot's monsters [[spoiler: showing that Fuu did try using her healing magic to revive Presea only for the blacksmith to be too far gone for it to work.]]
3* Also in the anime, since Nova is a manifestation of Hikaru's dark side, how come Umi and Fuu never gained dark doppelgangers of their own since they felt the same despair that she did?
4** The implication I got was that Nova was created because Hikaru has a stronger will/heart (remember Hikaru was [[spoiler: chosen as the new Pillar]] at the end of the second season) than the other girls. Basically, Hikaru being [[spoiler:Pillar-worthy]] meant that she could accidently will her grief and pain into a physical form to punish herself.
5* Why does Umi keep calling Alceone middle-aged? The icey sorceress looks like she's in her mid 30's at most.
6** Probably Alceone is a [[OldMaid Christmas Cake]] from Umi's perspective.
7* So Hikaru, the magic knight of fire, is a Leo, which is a fire sign. Umi, the magic knight of water, is a Pisces, which is a water sign. But then Fuu, the magic knight of wind, is a Sagittarius, which is a fire sign. Why wasn't a girl with a wind zodiac sign summoned to be the wind knight if the other roles were assigned to girls with a matching astrological element? As much as I love Fuu, this discrepancy wouldn't stand out as much to me if Umi and Hikaru's astro elements didn't match up with the elements they respectively wield as magic knights.
8** It isn't the wind sign, but it ''is'' the Archer sign, and Fuu is an archer.
