No here mom was not a magic-user. Spoiler . . . . . . . . . If her mom was a magic user then there is a chance that her mom might have lived But she died because Athy had a lot of mana. And since Diana can't use magic her body couldn't handle such a strong being inside of her.
Her mother wasn't a magic user but she had a speciality.. It's like Her mother has a kind of unique power but idk exactly what it was.. but it was mentioned before...
was her mom a magic user too or am i tripping
