The Fourth Stage of Weapon Intent was impressive, but it wasn't anything that rare here. Plenty of people on the planet managed to understand their own intents, and Fourth Stage users could be found everywhere. Let's not forget there were even a few youngsters with the Fourth Stage of Sword Intent back in the Rusbav Country Contest.
So, even though Foliana wasn't someone who liked battles, she managed to understand her own Intent for Blades, and could use the Fourth Stage as well. It's just that, just like pretty much everyone else, she got stuck there. The Fifth Stage was truly a gigantic barrier, and at the moment, only Diliy went beyond the Fourth Stage in Closal. Of course, we can't count Rean and Roan in this since they aren't the norm.
