That or his child-body was simply better. I know its his magic that is halved but it goes along with the body as well and when looking at all the flashbacks, Gray seems to have a better chance. Natsu couldn't do shit with his flames as a child(just like right now) and Erza's first time using magic succeeded only because there were weapons lying about and her telekinesis did the rest, she probably lost a lot of magical power since that was a sudden explosive burst(did she even use any magical power after that moment?). And we haven't seen her use any real requips as a child.

These thoughts were just running around in my head and I just felt like typing them >_>

Anyways, I'd like to see how Gray overcomes the body control problem.
