They're Magic Items. They work for anybody. And you realize that the technology from Edolas is not just possible in Earth Land, but also actually used? Etherion, Seilah's bomb, communication lacrimae, etc. 'Twas hardly an asspull. Makarov might have simply known the staves' function and had then remade for Jellal. Mystogan actually might have had spares as you suggested. The perfectly believable possibilities are endless.

Yeah... it's not random weakass Magic. Mystogan was an incredibly powerful Mage. Calling him weak is simply asinine.

Sherria grew up with Magic inside her body? She does not have Magic anymore? lol, so what? People who have never needed specs hardly bitch and whine about having to wear them despite a lifetime spent never needing them. Yes, losing her Magic is far more noteworthy than failing eyesight, but nowhere near as bad a deal as you're making it out to be. All that changes is that she has to change her combat style, nothing else. People suffering from diabetes have to give up sweets, which is far more than what Sherria has to give up! Even her power is basically decided by her dedication, not by the Magic she uses, 'cuz she definitely has the ability to choose a Magic Item that allows her to do more than, "shoot a random blast." To try and prove your point, you've tried to make it seem as if Sherria's lifestyle has changed, which is blatantly false, then tried to make it seem as if Mystogan's Magic is weak, which is again blatantly false, then make it seem as if no powerful Magic Items powered by lacrimae exist in Earth Land, which is again blatantly false. If anything, I'd say you're the one being stubborn here. .-.

Sherria is just as different from her friends as a person wearing specs is different from theirs. Or a person relying on a hearing aid, dentures, etc. They have lost a certain ability to a degree, but have not been completely deprived of it if they use aids. The same holds true for Sherria. If you really think these people are different from their peers, then you are the one being insensitive and stubborn. .-. The position she has been forced into is definitely enough to evoke a certain amount of sympathy, but the incredible exaggeration is nothing short of irksome.

* reads comment again* Sincerely, no offense meant. Let's just chalk it up to a vast difference in perspectives and leave it at that. /o/
