The strength of the explosion depends on both the size of the diagram as well as the complexity, but complexity has the greater weight of the two. Complexity has diminishing returns; size technically does not, but to get big enough that it really matters means it'll be obvious what the cape is doing. The output is only kinetic force. They are as visible as whatever is used to draw the shape is against the color of whatever they're drawn on; i.e., if you use chalk to draw one on a white wall, good luck finding it. Using chalk to draw one on a blackboard, everybody's going to see it. They last until a) they're activated, b) the drawing medium wears off the surface, or c) the cape intentionally disrupts it.
And now the question I haven't answered yet, the output. If we, I don't know, divide the circles into five classes of complexity, class 1 could be something you just scribble out quickly and would be a shove or a light punch, class 3 would take a minute or two to draw and would be about the level of a grenade, and class 5 would take more like ten minutes but would be complex enough and large enough to bring down a house.
Nanoha magic isn't good at "Strangery stuff" because it's utterly useless against Devices. It falls in the category of "telepathic intrusion" that Devices just throw off. It would be like being invisible to everybody WITHOUT powers but living in the world of Certain Scientific Railgun or My Hero Academia or RWBY.
Of course, if you want your mages to be invisible, there's a spell for that.
Yes.

I assume this means passing entirely through walls is out, but can they stick only their head through to scout?

They can pass entirely through walls. I had a devil of a time trying to phrase this one, but basically they aren't invulnerable to all harm when they're in this Breaker form. Energy attacks in particular will still get them.
Do we get to know how complex these constructs can be? (Basically can we create devices or are we making abstract things? How close is this to a green lantern ring?
can we know how "quick" quick is? How far is short?
I like most of the choices, and I think I can see where some of them might draw inspiration
just wanted a couple of extra details before I made my vote.

It might even be similar to Imp's power in this universe, as it is altered from canon

Imp is where I got the idea, and this power works very similarly to hers, yes. The issue with this power is that a lot of things she could and did do with her power are either a) hard to make not villainous or b) go against the Unwritten Rules, which at least two of your teammates consider quite important.
Basically it's going to be a shell. Like I mentioned earlier, it won't have working internals, so you can't create a functional grandfather clock or an engine. The constructs can physically move, though, so you can definitely create a shape of a car and move people around with it. Or make yourself a flying surfboard just for funsies. Moving externals are okay, so chainsaws and fans are fine. Make a snowplow to scoop people up in and carry them either to safety or to jail. Handcuff a bunch of gang members around a telephone pole or, better yet, a hardlight cactus with giant spines. I'd even make allowance for recreations of living things, though the size limit is still in effect so no projecting your own T-rex.
Short is line of sight. Quick is… well, quick. A blink rather than the couple of seconds magical teleportation takes.
Now I'm curious where you think I got inspiration and for which ones, just to see how close your thoughts are to mine.I like most of the choices, and I think I can see where some of them might draw inspiration

*shrug* No reason it needs to be a single color.

Out of curiosity, for the people voting for the Stranger power. How do you intend for this cape to use that power alongside the rest of the magical girl squad? It requires an entirely different style than any of the girls has, so I'm not sure on what you're picturing in terms of power synergy.

for me i'm honestly not, i'm imagining Jujak using this to either ghost in and out saving people from gangers, or ghosting in and knocking out gangers to save people. this is an independant's power
It probably isn't a good fit for the current line up, but it would provide the seed for another team specialized in scouting, infiltration, hostage situations, etc.
