Absolutely amazing animation for the fight scenes and simply throughout the show (like Stark putting on his coat) - huge respect to the animators. I also really love Linnie's magic and fighting too, it was really great to watch. As I mentioned a couple of episodes ago, my theory on Stark's lightning strike is that it's a physical expression of magic - as it's mentioned that Linnie reads people's mana as they fight - so perhaps what little mana warriors have can be used to aid them to perform great physical feats. Lastly, I had a good chuckle about your idea of Frieren decapitating Aura, knowing that the actual end to the fight is just one satisfying extra step from that.

I think Stark is just raw, pure physical stats - I don't know though. His Lightning strike attack, if you go back and look, his attack actually goes off the moment he opens his mouth and before he says the attack - it's THAT fast. Brilliant execution on the animation. You see the same attack when he fights the dragon. It could be magical, but I don't think it is. The axe has to be magical or that thing would've disintegrated long ago. The mage battles are so awesome, since it's more or less a battle of the mind, which ever mind is better at adapting is stronger. And super crisp animation.
