I think the description of book maker is a bit strange in the powers and ability section of Misogi's profile and on Medakas profile in general.
It states that bookmaker seals opponents or negates their skills, but that isn't what it really does at all.
To just quickly quote from the Medaka wiki:
"When he stabs someone with the screw, it turns the target into a Minus by bringing that person to Kumagawa's level: body, spirit, technique, intellect, and talent; all fall to match Kumagawa. Despite the fact that the screw needs to pierce the victim to take effect, the damage done to the body is nearly zero; Kumagawa labels Book Maker as an ability that only soils the heart."
So it actually a equalization skill. (here a source on that)
That is also how he "sealed" Ajimu. As stated here in Ajimus and Hanten sealed state they are minuses which rival kumagawa, not completly powerless.
I am pointing this difference from sealing or negating out, because as described here bookmaker isn't a skill through which kumagawa can win a battle, as any small advantage for one side will instantly be equalized by the opponent being put at kumagawas level again.
In other words the skill causes only a draw. (which can be resolved through external factors though)
So I would suggest to change the wording in the powers and abilities to something like "can equalize the opponents body, spirit, technique, intellect, and talent to his own" and a more detailed description for Medakas "Notable Attacks/Techniques"-section.
