So...going back over the fight, some interesting things worth pointing out:
1) Taylor pushed Harry further than she was originally willing to go with nothing but the same basic, generic shooter spell (just in huge numbers and coordinated patterns) and flight. Literally, that was it. She wasn't even using a device.
2) Hell, she decided to try and more or less build a new spell from the gutted remains of one of the few other spells she knows while fighting. And she somehow successfully made a short-range, high-speed teleportation spell that actually worked...in a matter of seconds, while devoting most of her attention to fighting. (Granted, said spell had some serious flaws/bugs that need to be worked out, but the fact that it worked at all is astounding.)
3) This was basically her first fight ever. Yes, she slaughtered some dinosaurs while in Unison mode, but that's little more than target practice with God Mode on and aimbot enabled. She demonstrated an intuitive grasp of tactics, unravelled her opponent's weapon-based deception fairly quickly, and didn't let herself get tilted despite facing a much stronger and more experienced opponent in a match she felt very conflicted and insecure about.
Nanoha loves overwhelming her opponents with sheer firepower. Fate tends to use a combination of speed and advanced melee. But Taylor has a ridiculous level of multitasking and control. I could easily see her becoming a nightmare once she learns how to control the trajectory of her shots after firing them, or develops stronger shooter spells, or really practices her new teleportation spell to the point that she can spam it. And once she reaches that level and tries out Unison Mode? Goddamn.
...I wonder when Taylor is going to learn that heradoptive mother foster mother "host" is not only famous, but also one of the very strongest mages in the TSAB. It'd be kind of like finding out that the foster parent you'd been living with all along was actually Legend...married to Alexandria. Who are BFFs with Eidolon. And that you are an apprentice under Hero. Hell, I wonder how Harry would react to finding out that she'd picked a (sparring) fight with the Ace of Aces' new adopted daughteru.
