No, this is not a Tokyopop-bashing entry. On the contrary, actually. A few days ago, I've been put into a situation that reminded me quite a bit of what they must have faced when trying to localize the Slayers novels.

So he wrote this while fully knowing what the Giga Slave was and what implications it had on the plot of the stories which took place later on.

She does not know. She knows it's dangerous for her AFTER this first use and she will know it's dangerous for the world AFTER her meeting with Sylphiel in the third novel.
It makes sense.

In fact he wrote that after first books of the first arc, so Kanzaka and readers already knows what it was.
It's a japanese light novel, Ichiban Victory explained very well how it works.

Of course, no one really expected the same level of detail, but one could expect a bit more than this.

Yep, but plot of the main serie is on 4 chapters (5 for second novel) where stories in Special is one chapter only (sometimes 2). It has to be very quick. Something people can read on the metro before or after the work.
Anyway, I agree with you when you say one could expect a bit more than this.

Lina was actually more dangerous in her days traveling with Naga because she tossed around powerful spells without remorse. Even easier to do when you don' t know what you're dealing with.

But it is also true that, when Lina remembers this occasion in novel 1, she notes just what kind of widespread destruction the spell caused, which seems to indicate that reckless or not, she was affected by its power to an extent. She never used it again until confronting Ruby Eye, after all.
But in this special chapter, there is not even a trace of that, which is both what I and kumicho_zz are missing. Something like "woah, that was huge" at least.

Seems like one of those things that she didn't think on more until a later time, probably when she wasn't so drained. (I sort of have an idea of this, having been in a collision that should have killed me. At the time I was too focused on the fact I was alive and still had miles to go before I got to my apartment. It wasn't until the next day when I saw my car that the reality of the situation smacked me upside the head.)
