contents We study rotating black holes in general relativity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics (NED), focusing on an axisymmetric solution with deformation parameter g. On the spherical seed, weak-field lensing via the Gauss-Bonnet method and the shadow radius yield a spin-insensitive bound by enforcing a conservative ~10% tolerance on the Sgr A* ring size, namely g/M \lesssim 1.26. In the eikonal regime we derive analytic quasinormal-mode shifts, even in g, and obtain an independent ceiling consistent with the shadow constraint. For the rotating geometry, we provide closed-form ZAMO scalars, chart horizons and ergoregion, and analyze equatorial geodesics (photon orbits and ISCO). We then formulate in the ZAMO frame the Comisso-Asenjo reconnection channel, identify the negative-energy window, and integrate the extracted power over the allowed radii; from the tolerated fractional departure from the Kerr power we define a spin-dependent extraction bound g_δ(a|σ_0,ξ). Taken together, the QNM/shadow ceiling and the extraction bound appreciably narrow the admissible region for g/M in the (a/M, g/M) plane, so even within our deliberately simplified, single-layer equatorial setup, the two complementary probes already provide informative constraints on NED deformations, testable with present data and upcoming horizon-scale and ringdown campaigns.
