Brandish of Fairy Tail has magic called Command T which allows her to alter the mass and proportions of objects, including people.
Basically she makes things bigger or smaller, and she displays this very prominently in her intro by changing the shape of the island she stands on by making it huge, and later by making it tiny.
On the calc currently used to give Brandish her High 7-A rating, the calc asserts that Brandish didn't alter the size of the island but lifted it off of the ground somehow. However Brandish doesn't use earth magic, so the only way she could have 'lifted' the island is by altering the size of the ground underneath it.
Size Manipulation has always seemed to me to be a hax type of ability that can't be properly quantified; Brandish isn't putting in the work to lift the island above sea level, she's just altering the size of what the island is resting on. Of course the potential energy of the island is going to increase if it is higher than where it used to be - but I don't see how that relates to Brandish's AP when it was accomplished through an ability that just alters the size of objects.
