What's the point in giving refreshing features to a main characters if you turn him in a cliched one? Power up aren't a must, quite the opposite. They are overly abused in shounens series, especially those obtained after nonsensically short trainings and, the worst of all, given power-ups temporarily obtained just for winning a fight. Luckily, we have not these in Toaru as power-ups are obtained or with a plan and they are not the main objective (e.g. a lot of villains), or obtained thanks to a special move (e.g. Kanzaki's Breaker of God) or are part of a greater scheme (e.g. Awakening). Also, Touma has one, maybe two, power-up of the last type: IT and the dragons (though since IB seems to act as a seal maybe it's more correct to say that normally Touma is nerfed).

PS: It's unlikely important inof of IB, IT and/or the dragons or Alesiter's plan will be given in NT12 because it would be too early for that and it will most likely be the first volume of the new saga.
