I thought that the real Frieren casted that circle to hit her with that attack from bellow. That made the clone's attack even more bad ass in my opinion because it showed no signs that an attack was coming

Looked at another post comparing the fight with the manga, and looking at how the real Frieren attacked the clone in the manga, it does look more like the circle under the clone was indeed the clone's.

Still, a magic attack that does not feel like magic and shows no signs before it hits would have been cool as well.

I have a hunch that it's probably the same feeling as (manga spoilers)macht's gold transmutation. Mana detection also makes it seem like it's not turned to gold because of magic. Which I think makes it more badass for frieren cause my headcanon now believes whatever "spell" the clone used is somewhat comparable to a sage of destruction's curse.

(non manga spoiler) a sage of destruction's curse.

it could work on a similar principle, but di agolze is THE perfect curse, frieren took a century to fix just her arm (for reference it didn’t take nearly that long to analyze bose or serie’s barriers) and had another century’s worth of memories to pair. I can see it being a spell she learned from the demon king though. No basis or anything, it would just be really cool
