Buying power is not difficult, ze.

Does this really warrant an 'engrish' tag, seeing as "Masper Card" is a pun?

"Master Card" is the pun, the "p" is only a censorship (because of the policies in Japan regarding trademark names). I don't know who did add the "ranguage" tag, but he apparently didn't notice all the "Smickers", "Somy" and "Noke" in anime and manga.

Hmmmmmmm... is that really Marisa's credit card?

according to the name stamp, surprisingly yes

There are some things you can steal...for everything else...

Is this the spell card she uses for the Master Spark...?

Actually, I'm pretty sure it is a pun. "Masper" probably comes from "Masupa", shortened from "Master Spark". Or maybe I'm just over-analyzing it, I dunno.

No, you got it right.

マスタースパーク = Master Spark, which often gets shortened to マスパー ("MaSpa") - which, in turn, can be romanized (incorrectly) as "Masper".

Now I'm conflicted. This is very clever, but why the hell would Marisa actually use her own card rather than stealing someone else's?
