Well thanks for clearing it up.
Also I have to say that magic in Negima isn't just some cheap way to say that cool stuff happens because that's why. It's exhaustively researched nearly every spell has an extensive description of both the mythology and the spell's effect in terms of real world science. Stuff like Rakan seeming to break out of Tamaki's pocket dimension by force of what seems like his sheer awesomeness? It actually has a two full page description of what he did to break free, going into detail about the physics of black holes and the differences between classical and modern models of geometry and physics. Basically he used a type of gravity magic to create a mini black hole by focusing a huge quantity of mass in one place, and the gravitational pull distorted the space inside the pocket dimension and its boundaries and Tamaki's artifact which operated under assumptions of classical geometry and physics couldn't work properly and shut down.
Furthermore, in Negima your typical fightan shonen chi stuff (like Ku Fei punching through mountains with chinese martial or Kaede making full density independently operating shadow clones with ninjitsu) is considered to be magic or at least is close enough to the same thing, just it was approached a different way. Training the body instead of memorizing spells, which is why it synergizes so well with the magic fighting style that the most powerful characters tend to train both physically and mentally, and you have techniques like the Kankho (or however it's spelled) to boost both physical ability and magic.
Even the achievements of science aren't that far removed from magic, when you think about Chachamaru being a combination of Evangeline's puppetry and doll animation magic, and Chao and Hakase's incredibly advanced android technology and AI programming. Magic, chi, science, they are all different means to get to the same ends.
So I personally don't think the "it doesn't count as magic" argument holds much water, if it's just a different sort of life energy/chi from a different series.
Answering the question about the latest powerup, no, she doesn't get it. Unresolved arcs aren't usable because you can't tell how things are going to go. Everything up to the previous arc is OK though, as are contained feats.
The magic world arc is over, technically. >_>
Though I would agree with not giving her it, since a new arc hasn't started yet and we wouldn't know what she would do with it or if she keeps it. I don't think it would make much difference anyway since I doubt it would be in her personality to use it in the same way that that Fate or the others in Cosmo Entelekheia did.
