to add the previous headcanon, the only ones that can replicate any of what is in the video spellcard/magic wise to that exact scale are Brodiaea and Núnmai (both side muses) because they're old enough to have had the time to teach themselves how to manipulate light in that way and have an excess amount of magic to burn at all times. it's very energy intensive.

someone like Hayden, who is adept at magic but lacks time and the magical output, can achieve something similar but it's much smaller comparatively.

the other side muses that have either have light as a primary and a secondary affinity ( Sgaire, Laurys, Paeris, Carmine, etc ) could if they were trained. but even then, they'd only achieve what Hayden is capable of... and that's with years of training.

gonna log this one under "i can't get that this is how light-based magic can would work" of my head ( and i've shared this sentiment on discord in the past but now i'm putting here ) because light =/= holy in this realm. it's just... a phenomena that we can use to percieve color, so it should be colorful in practice. it can be blue, red, green, white--it doesn't matter. and it can take any shape it wants ( bullets, cards, stars, flowers, orbs, etc ).... and you can use it as a projectile like any other magic.

dark also =/= unholy in this realm ( thought many teoniv denizens have to UNLEARN that because they've long been told that dark magic is unholy/evil ).

and because the magic system operates on a "primary-secondary" system--with maybe a teritiary if they're not just a being that can control everything--you can use the opposite affinity to add a little punch whatever form light magic takes.

light isn't a very common affinity, though, due to how all encompassing it can be ( same with dark ) and there are not many beings in eokketion that know how to properly use it and make complicated shapes or spells aside from your typical non-descript light orb or beam or sparkles. those that do don't broadcast it either for various reasons
