For some reason, I had parsed earlier mentions of Flandre's magical potential as, well, just potential. It seems like magic is something witches grow into (as the parent of 2 small children I can't imagine how civilization could survive toddlers with supernatural destructive powers, their normal destructive powers are more than a handful already) so I guess I misread whether she had 'come of age' in that respect.
