[discussion] About Al and Anastasia

I’m an anime only so don’t spoil me if I’m right...

As we saw in the latest episode Al faced his sword toward Anastasia when Felix told him that she used magic, saying that this is something Anastasia Hoshin shouldn’t be capable of, regardless of how he knew about that it means that she can’t use magic maybe because her gate is broken? anyway... isn’t there other ways to use magic if your gate is broken? like making a contract with a spirit or using a metia, since Subaru was able to use magic against the rabbits after he made a contract with Beako and she shared her power with him somehow, so I don’t think it’s that surprising for Anastasia to use magic, she’s probably contracted with a fire spirit because she doesn’t seem to have anything that could be a metia, except her huge hat...
