Also, just to correct my previous mis-remembering...
I just re-watched the first ep of StrikerS.
Subaru uses a Velka-type circle, and at one point openly mentions that she's specialized - she can't do illusions or flight, so she's got to just go in and get the enemy with one shot while Tia distracts it.
Tia, on the other hand, uses a Mid-type circle, and some very versatile spell-slinging - invisibility, illusionary duplicates, and a Shooter apparently cast /without her device/ - she'd just used it as a decoy - although she may've used the ID to prep the spell first.
Rein also uses a Velka-type circle, we can see it in white under Nanoha's net at the 'crash' at the end. It's not terribly clear how independent she is, magically, from Hayate...--
"I give you the beautiful... the talented... the tirelessly atomic-powered...
