I meant nerfed according to the situation. In the above pictures she was fighting alongside Catwoman. It would be really stupid to have Zatanna wish all the bad guys away so Jones has Zee limit herself from using magic as a wager to make it more fun.
Technically Zatanna has always been nerfed in every comic she's been in. She can be interesting to write and draw unless you are Geoff Johns who wants to do away with her in as less panels as possible. Remember how in JLA, Geoff made Zatanna stop Despero in one panel while Batman got to fight him for pages and pages?
