well i guess that would prove Carla's spike in power even more, if the previous limit was just seeing visions, and it would take something traumatic to push her beyond the limits of her mother. Queen Shagotte never had to deal with something as serious as facing Tartarus and losing her magic, except for when she saw the collapse of her floating empire (but I guess it would be too late anyway), which really did not collapse at all seeing how she is probably still ruling the Exceeds to this day somewhere else. Also Carla could have been able to use the power before (just recently of coarse and I doubt Mashima would show Carla training to be some super fortune teller medium thing), but she never had a true reason to until now. What's more serious than the mages' loss of power. (ugg this is telling me that I spelled the word "mages" wrong >.>)
