Probably. The magic is being channeled through you. If you think of everything in this world being magic, and it is only a matter of it being used properly, then... of course it would be your issue if your light shields aren't what you need them to be.
[Gokudera creates a light shield in front of her.]
Have you tried working off light magic that is already present?
[Is it odd he thinks she could create a stronger field using his as the framework? Then it would be a challenge for him to keep up the reinforcement. He's never tried to combine light magic with anyone else.]

[ Sometime after his display of ab dominance on the network and feeling inclined to visit Mona, Kipposhi, too, had been struck by whatever spell was currently drawing out the inner beasts of various people in Camelot. For his turn, he took on a rather avian appearance, sprouting soft feathered ears and hawk-like wings and tail feathers. It took a moment to adjust his clothes to the new additions, but he wasn't about to let something like a misfired transformation spell stop him from his daily agenda.
But hearing that shout those words just as he'd been about to knock on her door told him he'd probably better exercise a little caution. Right, she... wouldn't take something like this in stride, huh? ]
You, uh... you alright in there, Mona?

See if you can expand off of it to make it wider or taller instead of simply reinforced...
[Gokudera will of course keep his shield up, as it is the frame for this. He moves over to stand next to her.]
Visualize it and believe in it.

[It's fairly odd and interesting where his friendship with Mona has gone in the last few months. All this way from Teyvat and yet it is in this foreign world that they seemed to have started to talk or tease more often, finding and pushing for each other's secrets and the like. It all started with that doppelganger impersonating him so badly, he thinks. But perhaps before that, where this string started to tie between them.
The promise of wine is enough! Venti is easily convinced, sitting with her in her small accommodation, proud that she has her own while he still freeloads at the Inn.]
Oh? About someone from my past? Do you mean the bartender that shorted me some pay last week?
[A small dodgy lie. Of course. Venti is still vaguely guarded about these things... But with some coaxing, he may open up. Mona already has the upper hand by knowing some of his secrets now.]

[ Immediately, it was obvious something was up. In his case, he didn't bother hiding the changes (how could he hide the wings and tail feathers even if he wanted to), but he actually wondered if he should poke at her about it, given that expression... ]
Just uh... wanted to check in on you? Maybe take you out for lunch? Are you sure you're okay?

[ Oh no.
Oh no.
She was so cute! She was really cute! But what's more, he felt a certain badump in his chest, a chill run through his body, right to his arms. The spell hadn't just granted physical features, it seemed, and the hawk within him was trying to determine if this was predator or prey...
... And what should he do about that situation? ]
Y-yeah, sometime after I did that AOL post...
Oh no.

[ Okay that
made it very clear that that she was a predator.
Kipposhi felt his face heat up, and found himself at a loss for what to do with himself, though every part of him was screaming at him to try to run away, his wings twitching despite being pinned to the wall. But also he couldn't help by be mesmerized, almost forgetting what she'd asked as soon as she said it and just... ]
Uh... r-repeat that?
[ Or actually forgetting, in any case. ]

[ That bit of space gave him room to breathe, at least, and let his thoughts finally collect. He definitely wasn't used to being on that side of such exchanges, and while he couldn't say it wasn't exciting in its own way, the dread that had welled in his chest couldn't be ignored, either... The last time he'd been in a position like that...
He shook the thoughts off, clearing his throat. She'd asked him a question, after all. He reached to adjust his cap, both an instinctive gesture and one to keep his arms between the two of them. ]
I dunno if it's everyone, but I spied a few others impacted by this magic on my way here. Plus someone on AOL talking about it.

Well, actually, I was coming to see if you wanted to grab lunch...
[ He hadn't seen her in person since the concert, and found himself restless to close that gap again, to see her, to listen to one of her long lectures, to just be around her. Something that made him anxious and excited all the same... or at least it had until he'd been confronted with what he could only figure was the bird part of his brain interfering with everything else. A part that was not, altogether, silent just yet.
But he still didn't want to leave that soon. And if they were out in public, he could at least feel like he wouldn't feel so strangely both terrified and infatuated by this new form of hers.
He hoped, at least. ]

The very first Dandelion Knight was it...?
[Venti looks like he might be having a hard time recalling what she means. His face contorting to a puzzled expression like he can't fathom the details.]
Why would you be curious about such a boring old fairy tale?
[... Except Venti knows exactly who she's curious about. He was there. Loud as day, watching the fire in her eyes. But Venti is as guarded as ever about his past and his truths.]
