"All right then." Alina sets her soda down and crosses her legs at the knee. "Well, to start with, when I say I shatter the curve when it comes to magical power, I'm not puffing up my reputation. Not entirely sure how I managed it, but I'm sitting on enough power to make people who've been doing this for thousands of years sit up and take notice."
She picks up her soda again and takes another sip, watching Superboy carefully. Her ability to control her magic is probably more important than her power level here -- it doesn't matter that you can crush a house when you do it accidentally while trying to move a glass of water.
"Magic doesn't work for free though, and mine takes its payment in the form of side-effects, like all those bugs you saw that came with my teleport spell. If it's a big spell and I have to maintain it for awhile, the magic gets...wriggly, for lack of a better word. It's wild magic, it doesn't like being brought to heel. I've had enough training that I can usually keep the side-effects down to harmless and/or annoying, though. I've had very good teachers, and I've worked my butt off to make sure that it doesn't cause more problems than it fixes."
