I think the fact about Honoka's magical powers should be clarified. If I remember correctly, in the aftermath of the battle against Weekend, Evermillion mentioned that Ayaka fulfilled their old contract in that when Honoka was ever in danger (He made a deal with Evermillion to gain power in exchange for his own life which also carries over to Ayaka who appears to be bound to him = Danger) she was to cut their connection (probably related to damage transfer and her magic supply).

The contract between Ayaka and Ever was that Ever was to return the magical powers Ayaka borrows from him (arguably so that he can save his own life) should the need arises and she (Ayaka) is incapable of saving Honoka.

Evermillion also mentioned that she didn't need to take Honoka's life (and in turn Ayaka's) for the deal as when Ayaka cut off ties with him (via her contract with Ever), Honoka regained his magic and used it to basically restore the entire city (and also turn its ambiance into something of a penguin flower festival) without Evermillion having to intervene as per Honoka's earlier request.

This was also the reason why Honoka just needed to reform a connection with Ayaka so that she could wake up again from her death-like state.

This pretty much shows that Honoka already has immense magical powers and the fact that Ayaka is using them instead of him plus the thing with the seals (it was mentioned in the manga that not only did the seals keep Evermillion's power from getting out, it also kept Honoka's own capabilities sealed into what appears to be his somewhat pathetic state.) is what stops him from being actually a powerful mage.
