The battle of final magic suffered from a common problem in many magic battles in that as it drags on, it all just winds up sounding like bullshit.

I call it “Dr. Strange syndrome”.
Nobody really understands magic, and the writers just have to make up shit to fill up the pages at the expense of a logical conclusion as to exactly why one side won and the other side lost.
At the end of the day, it’s pretty much who fails to pull something out of their ass that’s more impressive than whatever was last pulled out of the winner’s ass.
Anyway, nice little end credit montage of the surviving characters enjoying daily life after the episode, and the Hero Gram and sword lady sales droid using public transit.
Reminds me of Bojack Horseman where they’re fighting the improv troop on the boat and they’re literally just making stuff up that’s absolutely ridiculous. I think this can work well when the series establishes the rules and conditions for powers and then doesn’t break those rules (ie pull anything out of their ass). Sadly we only got the most basic explanation of the rules of magic in Demon Lord 2099 so it comes off as a “say wut now?”
That being said, the fight basically boiled down to Veltol surpassing the Familia device and that was good enough for me. I didn’t need the extra nonsense about leylines and wordless casting.
Done!
For most anime, yeah. It’s not just magic either. Many power systems have the same issue.
