Throughout the book We Are Voulhire, Someone else End, the author clearly and vividly descipted how magic is used. Even if you didn't know anything about magic, the use of clear description gave me a clear picture on how the magic was utilized. To my question , is it important in all circumstances to always vividly describe something in order to relate a full picture or something has to be left out for the reader to figure out.

It is not out of place for the author to leave out somethings for the reader to fill in by themselves. It is also good to express and showcase the whole idea to the reader.

I think it could go either way. To ask whether the author is informed about magic might be a bit unfair since magic is not universally accepted as being real. In that case, I think it is quite important for the author to elaborate in detail on the kind of magic they are writing about, since magical practices, spells, and enchantment may vary according to the author's fancy. However, there are some things that may be left to the reader's own imagination, especially if the details are not as important as the outcome.

I think the author didn't as much as he could in his descriptions know magic. Magic is not even widely accepted as real, so there really is no consensus on which is standard or not

Quite enough for the story. I wouldn't say perfect cause I'm not sure anyone is perfect in these fields, therefore the author's knowledge was great and it served well in the book.

As far as I am concerned, the author knows a lot about magic. I have read books such as Harry Potter and I could say this book rivals them.

Just like religion, I think that magic usage also varies. A person's exposal also matters, and their thoughts too. I also think that to be unique, you need to differ from rest. It depends on a lot of reasons because we all view things differently.

I think the extent of the authors description on magic was quiet enough for this book. I loved it. I think depending on the circumstance or the degree of perception the author want for his readers he can choose to describe things fully or maybe leave some details to the readers imagination.

It might go either way, in my opinion. It could be a little unfair to inquire about the author's knowledge of magic given that magic is not generally acknowledged as a reality. If such is the case, I believe it is crucial for the author to go into great depth regarding the type of magic they are writing about, as magical rituals, spells, and enchantments might change depending on the author's whim. Certain details, especially if they are not as crucial as the result, may, nevertheless, be left to the reader's imagination.
