Just gonna leave some quotes here that I mentioned before in the circus thread just so we have them indexed here.
Stiyl holds tens of thousands of rune cards on his person and can telekinetically control them to spread them across the battlefield.

Stiyl, again, telekinetically controls his rune cards and spreads them across the battlefield.
- OT7
Laura Stuart, the leader of the Anglican Church, states that if things were to come to it, Stiyl would have to face Kanzaki solo and eliminate her along with the Amakusa Church by force.
Stiyl, who isn't exactly a team player, doesn't deny that it'd be possible for him to do so solo.
Also, Innocentius' strength is stated to be dependent on how many cards Stiyl has deployed at the time.
- OT10
Another magician, Oriana Thomson, who fights evenly with Stiyl, doesn't consider it a necessary loss even if a Saint (such as Kanzaki) were to show up and deal with her.
She then goes on to explain that if she played it smart, and was prepared to suffer heavy damage (or death, at that), she could even kill multiple Saints, if need be.
Stiyl's magical potency grows with the number of rune cards he has active.
Once again, Stiyl's the range and strength of Stiyl's magic is dependent on the amount of rune cards he has active/spread out at a time.
(leaving this here for indexing purposes, just to reiterate)
- OT1“…Fortis931.”
Tens of thousands of cards flew from within his pitch black clothes.
Cards carved with flame runes spiraled around like a typhoon and in no time at all had covered the walls, ceiling, and floor without gap.
It was just like Hoichi the Earless.
Stiyl holds tens of thousands of rune cards on his person and can telekinetically control them to spread them across the battlefield.
As he ran, Stiyl pulled out a few rune cards.
Stiyl’s runes activated after he arranged them.
His magic displayed its greatest power within an area he himself indicated, so he should not have been able to use his proper strength while constantly on the move.
However, the cards floated in midair.
Countless cards flew around like swallows and created magic circles, sticking to the trees, the ground, and the streetlights.
Richard’s expression twisted.
(So he set up other runes to send out his main runes. …He just has little tricks all over the place.)

With her personality, it is indeed quite possible that she would lend a hand without ceasing to think of the consequences.
Were she of average or below average strength, that would be one thing.
However, as this is Kanzaki we’re speaking of…” Lola heaved a sigh, unamused.
“I would like to settle things afore Kanzaki has time to make a mistake.
That is our top priority.
I care not what method you select.
You may retrieve the Book of the Law and Orsola, force the Amakusa to surrender by negotiation, or eliminate them along with Kanzaki by force.”
“You’re telling me to fight Kanzaki?”
“Verily, I am, depending on the situation,” replied Lola simply.
“Our own personnel are scattered, and they prepare even now to make for the Roman Catholic search party in Japan.
But you will be with a separate unit, so I would like you to make contact with Academy City in advance of that.”
Stiyl blew white cigarette smoke from his mouth as if to voice his doubts.
Not regarding the part about him being in a separate team.
The magician Stiyl Magnus was never meant for team play.
His personality was one reason, of course, but since he specialized in the usage of flame magic, going all-out meant nearby allies would run the risk of getting caught in the fire and smoke.
His Innocentius was partly unstable because its strength wildly fluctuated depending on how many cards Stiyl deployed, but it still boasted power enough to be true to its name.

“…” Oriana tried to breathe a little more calmly.
She couldn’t quite figure out if this Kaori Kanzaki was actually coming here or not.
Even if a saint was really on the way, she didn’t think she’d necessarily lose to her.
If she came up with an effective tactic and went at it prepared to lose a limb or two, she was pretty sure she could kill a few saints at the cost of her own life.
But that wouldn’t work.
She couldn’t be preoccupied about winning or losing a simple personal battle—she had something much bigger to accomplish.
She couldn’t let herself get hurt too badly.

- GT4The Logistic Hornet’s atmospheric control was based on altering the density of the air through temperature differences. This was accomplished by scattering naphtha or liquid nitrogen at precisely-calculated coordinates.So what if something could produce flames even greater than ones made by the 5000m aerial spacecraft launch pad?A blinding light broke through the cold night’s shadows.
Kamijou knew someone whose magic could grow endlessly powerful as long as he had sufficient rune cards.
Stiyl's magical potency grows with the number of rune cards he has active.
- also GT4He did not have that kind of inborn talent. He was one of the “talentless” magicians who used knowledge to make up for what he lacked in strength.
However, he could boost the range and power of his rune magic by scattering enough laminated cards around the area.
30 million people had vanished from Los Angeles, but the power was still on and all of its modern conveniences were still accessible.
So he could print off as many cards as he needed.
By increasing the number of cards to the point that his power was greater, he could mess with the Logistic Hornet’s weather control. Ignoring him had been a mistake.
Once again, Stiyl's the range and strength of Stiyl's magic is dependent on the amount of rune cards he has active/spread out at a time.
