If someone reinforced your hands, would you be able to smack aside magic beams?
Rin does in the Unlimited Blade Works movie not that anyone counts anything DEEN does as accurate...

I actually do not remember that.
Though I certainly wouldn't go off this as canon, it just looks shiny.

That doesn't look like smacking it with her bare hands to me.
Note the small trail of fire before she smacks it. It's probably a jewel.
Strengthening is not magic resistance. Without a counterforce as strong or stronger than the enemy's spell, she'd lose that arm.
Actually, if you wanna try and apply technicality to that thing, if you count the number of jeweled shots she throws at Caster in other scenes, it makes it unlikely that that scene in specific is her using a jewel. I'd be more inclined to say the near hits Caster gets on her she defends with actually casted spells from her Crest or something.

There are spells inside the jewels. She could be using defense spells. Anyway, using them to defend uses up less energy then attacking. According to Rin (during that scene in the game) 1 jewel can block 3 or 4 times or so.
The Hall of Selected Cruor Praise
Professor Murderfists continues to be awesome.
Edit: I imagine any offspring of Medea and him would be so hax.
