So wait, Makarov unable to past Freed's runes automatically make Freed stronger than Makarov?

This is magic after all, not a measurement of Body building skills where the stronger person wins, this is magic which is outside the normalcy of things.

Like if someone can break through a wall, then they are stronger than a wall, if a person hits a wall that is magically indestructible, then they can't break it.

Enchantments maybe various but still magic after all.
