the reason erza gets more screen time is cause shes a main character while mira is a second-rate character. as for why mira is banned from using her magic, its not because shes stronger, but because she cannot control her powers as well and so destroys more stuff. in the first place that explanation is made up by the anime producers cause halphas is not canon and they want to explain why it will never appear again, unless hiro mashima decides to adopt the idea. and lucy and gray has approx. the same amount of screentime as her.
