What’s interesting though is it has a lot more in common with Eukrasian Diagnosis. The Sage’s animation begins like how E. Diagnosis does, with them raising their hand up, and the spell effect also starts in a way that looks similar to how E. Diagnosis’ starts.
It starts with both hands in the air, just like both previous Toxikons, though you can only just barely see the left hand's fingers pop up over the Lala's hair. It does not start with one hand like E. Diagnosis. The only new addition to the animation is the ground pound at the end, similar to but less exaggerated than Kerachole.
The first Toxikon is an orbital attack, the second is a slightly explosive cross blast from above. Upgrading to an attack that takes the orbital motion and the high point above that now draws an elaborate magic circle that then explodes isn't all that outrageous.
