 * I have absolutely no problems with the Lucy and Cana thing. And I didn't even include them because they were Spells, not new Magic. And it is heavily implied that Lucy learns Urano Metria on her own later (Hibiki remarks about it during GMG? Or just in anime?). How she knows about the Spell ... no idea, but she's a smart girl and the Spell is said to be strong, not rare, so possibilities are endless.
 * Jellal definitely cannot be taken as an example. Not only is it implied that he learns HBM on his own, Ultear gives him that Darkness Magic when she brainwashes him. Completely agree with you there. ... Btw, if Jellal can use that Magic, shouldn't Ultear also be able to use it. We have Urano Metria on Hibiki's page, does this warrant Darkness Magic being on Ultear's?
 * Yup, Natsu was shown to use up too much Magic Power when using LFDM after his battle with Hades. During the battle, he also had Laxus' Magic Power, so his LFDM in that battle was on an entirely different level than normal.
 * Wow, can't believe I actually forgot Gajeel and F. Rogue. If I had to, I'd actually put them on a level lower than Gray and Natsu, but higher than Erza. Mainly because Silver and Laxus gave their Magic willingly; Gajeel and F. Rogue took it forcefully. No other reason.
 * Ummm, I don't get why you say that Erza's example can't be used here. If you could elaborate please ... As far as I can tell, her powerup was the most ridiculous to date, but it doesn't change the fact that she could use her new Magic with amazing expertise. For anybody who might want to use the term inherent talent, please realize that there is also just as pathetic a term as latent potential (I'm not talking about Cana here).
