Omg it's so gorgeous to see the uniform like for real cuz I couldn't find any reference images in Google and the drawing itself is beautiful, you're really talented.I finnaly got the art worm out of my ear and can start workin on an actual post
also have no idea if magic is actually this flashy, so consider it a stylistic choice
or Rumi is literally just using an illusion spell for cool lighting
Also, it depends on whatever she's casting to be honest. It's a ritual it seems so it's totally fine to be flashy here and there (There's another type of magical circles that aren't draw with chalk on a surface but rather are magically drawn mid air in front of the caster's hands, that's regular casting while physically drawing with chalk or other materials is considered ritualistic and more powerful, less draining but slower since in requires preparations so it's less dynamic)
Basically if you are simply battling and want to throw a fireball, you go for regular casting. If you're creating a magical artifact and require great amounts of magic and materials, you go for a ritual.
