Some techniques were based on magic (esper skills), like "Foi" (tech) was based on "Flaeli" (skill). The same could have happened with "Deban" (technique) and "Warla" (esper skill)... which relates even more Rika with the espers.
Energy barrier is what cagedwolf said. Blessing... blessing is also "magic", isn't it? What's the difference between espers and dezo magic? Were espers originally palmans who learned 'magic' from dezolians? I mean, Elsydeon (an "esper" sword) also performs dezolian's "Holyword", dezolian's "Miracle" is the "sar" version of esper's "Medice" and dezolian's "Saint Fire" is just the opposite of DF corrosion.
I think what was said here is correct because, until the end we only have these possible combinations of characters:
Rika
Rika, Demi
Rika, Wren
Rika, Wren, Raja
Rika, Wren, Kyra
Notice that like demi and wren never met (their defense protection is the same), raja and kyra also never met (we can conclude their defense spells have the same effect as well). Rika on the other hand needs TP to perform it, so having kyra/raja can spare the precious TP. (in short, no redudancies)
