Powers
Fate's magical abilities developed at an astonishing rate, according to Rinis. She learned electricity-based attacks faster than other magical types, something that her mother Precia also specialized in. At the age of seven, she had already mastered several abilities to the point of not requiring the incantations. Behind her tutor Rinis' back, she also studied how to create and handle familiars. Her command phrase for her shooting abilities is "Fire!".
Fate specializes in mid-range and melee attacks, preferring speed to power and endurance. This was a result of the training that her mother demanded, which sacrificed the flexibility of a wide range of abilities for raw speed. Fate is also the fastest and strongest character in the Nanoha universe and is able to keep up with anyone without having to use speed enhancing spells, and when she does use them they make her even faster. After the events of the first season, she trained with Chrono to address the gaps in her initial training.
- Transformation — Fate transforms Bardiche into Device Form and her Barrier Jacket is activated as well.
- Arcus Cultus Aegeas — This is Fate's personal incantation for Bardiche. Generally she uses this to concentrate her energies, especially before unleashing a powerful attack.
- Jewel Seed Seal — Used to seal the Jewel Seeds so they will not fuse with anything.
- Lightning Bind — A powerful, but difficult to maintain, spell that prevents its target from moving.
- Recovery — Fate can restore Bardiche in seconds, even after she and Bardiche is heavily damaged.(Used in season one, episode 12 and episode 2 of A's)

Famous quotes containing the word powers:
“Dear to us are those who love us, the swift moments we spend with them are a compensation for a great deal of misery; they enlarge our life;Mbut dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life: they build a heaven before us, whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The powers that be are ordained of God.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Romans, 13:1.
