I couldn't tell if she was casting the magic itself or if it was just wind enchantments on her gear. Cause gear wise, Ryo was wearing the fairy king clothes which at the very least has some protection enchantment on it that prevented the akuma from killing him.

he also lost because his blade broke, while if he had used his magical sword it would be ok lol, so probably a tie

his defenses were on par with her attacks, so he can match her without using magic, which is already very impressive

I wouldn't say a tie, he explicitly points out she's overwhelming him with speed and power before the sword broke, if magic was in the mix he'd likely win but it looks like she's just better with a sword

You are missing half of that exchange. She mentioned his defense, he talked about her speed. Which implied both were unable to get winning advantage over the other, until his word broke.

Also “she is better with a sword” is incorrect. She was using sword + magic, her speed from wind magic.

These looked like active use enchantments. So she doesn't have to explicitly cast magic (which in this world is done with chants and a medium), but she can choose when and how it applies.
