Hello yes my favorite obscure magical girl/boy series that will never get an anime is Alice 19th by Yuu Watase, aka the author of Ceres Celestial Legend and Fushigi Yuugi. tl;dr people can use magic runes called Lotis Words that are like uhhh literally magic words that appear in the air to fight and there's also the evil version of them called the Maram Words. The protagonist is this super shy girl named Alice and her older sister is this girl Mayura who upstages her all the time and Alice accidentally chucks Mayura into ~*~the darkness~*~ with Maram Words when they have a huge argument. They spend most of the series training Alice and unlocking all 24 Lotis Words so Mayura can be unbrainwashed and taken home and there's a dumb love quadrangle but I found it a v endearing lil shoujo series overall (despite some of the squicky tropes of the time). And it had a creative use of having the magic power literally be words/runes lol.

....anyway. Did You Know: all the Lotis Words and also Mayura's name are based on Sanskrit words and phrases!

also I'd have to dig for art for decks so they don't have any atm but I did submit a picture of Alice for the magical girl scrapbook
