Although the vast majority of magical girls disliked talking about it, there was an objective fact: magical girls' Magic Armaments actually had different ratings.
It was even one of the assessment criteria for magical girl certification in the Magic Kingdom.
The rating system was quite complicated. It evaluated a magical girl's Magic Armament based on many factors, including its ability specifications, range of effect, applications, development potential, stability, and more, before ultimately assigning it an overall rating.
Of course, those ratings could change, because Magic Armaments evolved alongside their magical girls. Some Magic Armaments that performed poorly at first could become extremely powerful through their owners' efforts. Among magical girls, anything was possible.
Even so, as the Magic Kingdom's research into Magic Armaments continued to advance, a hypothesis had been proposed as a general principle: a magical girl's Magic Armament potential was often related to its "complexity."
That was to say, the more "complex" a Magic Armament was, the more likely it was to become powerful.
Although most Magic Armaments took the appearance of a "single object"—Bai Jingxuan's Magic Armament was a music box, White Thistle's was a fountain pen—there were always some unusual exceptions among the vast number of samples.
Beyond single objects, some magical girls' Magic Armaments initially appeared in "pairs," such as a pair of gauntlets, a pair of boots, or two daggers.
Such "paired" Magic Armaments were more "complex" than those consisting of a single object. In other words, their initial potential was relatively higher.
And since there were "paired" Magic Armaments, there were naturally also "grouped" Magic Armaments. For example, there had once been a magical girl from the Eastern Isles Region whose Magic Armament was "a bag of shuriken." Later, other magical girls had awakened Magic Armaments in the form of a row of
