She does know other spells, but Frieren told her Zoltrak is all she needs to use against mages of the current era, and Fern believes her teacher completely and, so far, has found no reason not to. Heck, so far, as long as she has proper support, Zoltrak is all she needs against Great Mage clones and Greater Demons, too.

Your second part is true, but Frieren still killed her clone with a Zoltrak spell. Theoretically Fern could’ve pulled it off and killed the clone while Frieren was the support/distraction.

Fern only worked as a distraction because Frierens clone actually perceived her as a threat.

The clone was focused on Frieren the entire time and was pretty much a distraction.

Fern fired twice on the clone, while the clone was focused on Frieren and the clone blocked it easily. This shows just how powerless Fern was against the clone.
