Oh, I'm sorry. Nanoha isn't very popular, so I suppose I should've expected this. The Time-Space Administration Bureau is rather like an interdimensional police force. However, they won't go conquering worlds, so there's Unadministrated Worlds, (like ours) where the TSAB doesn't (usually) go. The cadets are being trained to join the Bureau, and there's no war going on. The basic plot of the season the fic takes place in is: Evil Doctor and his 12 cyborg 'daughters' want to conquer the world with an ancient artifact, the main characters form a special section to deal with him.
Nanoha, not Fate, has been nicknamed the White Devil, because of her tendency to make new friends with mecha-class beam cannons, and for a line from the second season:
*Nanoha walks out of a fire*
Character: You...devil
Nanoha: Call me a devil... (pulls out weapon.) It just means I'll have to use my hellish tools to get you to listen!
(please pardon my fangirling, that's one of my favorite scenes)
The gem thing: Weapons in the nanoha-verse (Intelligent Devices) can take a standby mode--after all, walking around with a laser gun or an energy scythe in public is kinda terrorist-y. The standby mode can take many forms, and is often a gemstone-looking object. However, it's impossible to turn a normal jewel into a Device, since they will need a lot of hardware. The cores thing...is never mentioned in canon.

No, Nature is not an element. The Mana Conversion Affinity (almost never referred to by name)is the ability to turn magic into a certain other energy, but it's usually something chemical-reaction-y. The character Signum has a fire Affinity, and Fate has a lightning one. I didn't know that Might of Oaks was a card, I'll add it.
