I also loved how they handled the use of different languages to cast spells, it was nice and intelligent (that idea was in the air back during the Civil war Young Avengers/Runaways, and I'm glad that Willow Wilson and Thompson used it for A-force).
About Nico's powerset, the idea of the blood magic was proposed by Whedon during his Runways run. When Nico's grandmother kidnapped her and started to torture her, she mentioned the cost of the blood magic and that it was a signal that Nico's magic was weak, as it needed blood to summon the staff of one and that the cost of powerful spells would be greater, so Hopeless respected that concept from Whedon (the lost of her arm and her death in Arena was one of those high prices that Nico's great grandmother mentioned)
