I get that Eva generally did not have to use the technique as she is already a
monstrously powerful vampire. However, in her final "fight" with Negi at the
end of Negima, it appears that her Magia Erebea was just as powerful as
Negi's.

In what sense was it considered incomplete?

question
negima uq-holder
How is Eva's Magia Erebea incomplete?


Okay from what I understand so far about the whole Magia Erebea is that _it
can be_ a way to become immortal. Now within the manga, UQ Holder, we find out
that there are varying degrees of immortality and what is suggested that they
are not "Complete" because they still need to eat, they can become injured
and, to some degree, die.

**Spoilers**  

Negi, on the other hand, uses a Complete form of Magia Erebea, suggesting that
he is a complete immortal, having no need to eat, cannot be injured and cannot
die in any event and will continue to always exist.

_Now I'm assuming that everyone knows how we eat is a necessity because that
allows our bodies energy to do things._

How Magia Erebea could potentially, and this is only in theory, make someone
immortal is to continually "flow life, energy or magic" into the user. Now as
explained in Negima!, Magia Erebea is a techniques that allows the user to
absorb and take in magic. Now it is possible that the user of Magia Erebea can
use the magic to sustain their life and the complete version could do so
passively without the need of incantation or commands.

Now looking at Eva, she still needs to eat and feed, like all vampires, on
blood or more accurately, explained in Negima!, that she feeds on a person's
mana. She can still be injured and there is a possibility that she can still
die when the time arises. Due to this, it can be said that the Magia Erebea
that Eva wields is incomplete because the Magia Erebea has not granted her
"Complete" immortality, also Eva still needs to activate it through commands
meaning that it's not passive.

I hope that helps but you probably know all of that by now...
