"If there was something wrong with the original master or a long period of time had passed and a better medium was now available the song would be remaster to improve the quality of the original master."

Then we are in exact agreement. If you were to remaster something you would be improving the quality, not changing it at a baseline level.

"I think you're sort of missing the point. I don't need you to give me examples of series that make use of spellcasters free from the impunities of wielding magic."

I think YOU'RE missing the point. That was an honest application, not me slapping you with an example of magic with no cost.

"The point is that we can't make use of magic in that way unless everyone is capable of using magic without consequence."

Why not make it simple and have everyone use magic according to the laws of their verse? If a certain magic's overpowered, deny the character or have a plot twist and remove magic from them.

"Case and point you used the term "immolating the masses" in conjunction with the term "weak". In a game like Hyrule Warriors where you are taking on armies single handed, destroying two dozen gorons, stalchildren or bokoblins with ever blow that is perfectly normal."

If you take into account that the Hyrule Warriors game is non-canon, and the gorons, stalchildren and bokoblins from there are considerably weaker than the origonals, then it makes sense. Normally such things would take around 4 of Link's sword swings. The fact that they die to one mean they're weaker- Link isnt stronger in terms of raw power output. As for the stronger enemies, they're difficult for Lana to take out unless she exploits the Weakness Point gauge, which im sure exists only in her universe, so there's really nothing to worry about.

"I would appreciate it if you went through her combat capabilities rather than simply linking in videos"

Descriptions can be misinterpreted, videos cannot.

"as you will invariably have to make alterations to her abilities and rewriting text is much easier than editing videos."

Like i said before the application itself, if i change the character's abilities, they're no longer the person i want to play as. And quite simply, i'm not willing to do that.

"Likewise Lana's duplication in the game was a result of Ganondorf taking control of Cia and forcing the light from her heart which manifested itself as Lana. That isn't an ability she herself actually possesses but something that was forced on her."

Lack of reaserch. The duplication i referred to was in the second level of Ganondorf's campaign, when Ganondorf fought Lana in order to get the Triforce of Power back. Lana duplicated herself in an attempt to escape.
