There is one tiny problem with this scene, a problem which
goes by the name
Philionel Saillune. The guy who can do couple-hundred-feet
jumps (just watch
NEXT episode 13...) disintegrate lesser demons with his
fists, and never
uses weapons.

Well, actually, I too had a few minor problems with this
fic's consistency with Slayers & Next, but, frankly, Kenjiko2's
style made me unwilling to spoil the effect by voicing them.
With the quality of these stories, who cares?

But if you _do_ care, we're never told (to my knowledge) that
Lina has been unable to sense magic when Phil does these
things in her presence.  Maybe he's using an amulet, or had
a spell cast on him.

Maybe he is like a physical adept from the Shadowrun game.  He can do 
magic, but only for enhancing his physical actions.
