Basic Trope: Casting any kind of spell will quickly or instantly create some kind of geometric shape or a rune to go along with it.
- Straight: Alice is a sorceress who whenever casting spells, creates a rune or some kind of geometric shape that goes along with the spell, or even is the spell.
- Exaggerated: Every single spellcaster in the setting creates runes and geometric for every single individual use of magic.
- Downplayed: Alice and other magic users only use runes and geometric shapes for extremely powerful and/or difficult spells to cast, and even then, it's only an aesthetic effect of the spell.
- Justified: Geometric Magic is the rule of the setting. Alice has the unique power of being able to instantly conjure runes and the geometric figures to cast spells, explaining why her spellcasting manifests this way.
- Inverted: Magic cannot be cast at all until a geometric shape is drawn for it.
- Parodied: Alice literally uses a marker to draw in the air while chanting nonsense gibberish while casting silly spells.
- Averted: Magic doesn't create anything except whatever the spell meant to do (i.e. fire spells just create fire).
- Enforced: Rule of Cool is put upon the production and special effects team to create something cool for the audience to see while magic is being cast.
- Lampshaded: "What's with all those floating...things you're making?"
- Invoked: Alice has cultivated a practice of magic that actively uses these runes to have various effects.
- Exploited: Alice deliberately takes advantage of this idea and creates diversionary illusions of runes to distract her foes from interfering with her actual spell that may or may not require any runes.
- Defied: Instantly creating runes is a weakness that effectively serves as Calling Your Attacks, so Alice refuses to use this kind of magic or actively seeks to hide her instant runes.
- Discussed: "All those geometric shape things? Those are from my spellbook. I can use my power to pull them from my book so I can use them."
- Conversed: Alice discusses how accurate magic in movies is to how they are in "real life" (re: the In-Universe setting) and brings up the common depiction of geometric shapes appearing when magic is cast.
