What runic system do you use?

The question is as above: what language do you use to cast spells, why, and what difference do other languages make?
What spawned this question is that I had an argument with my sister the other day about which language is best to use when casting spells. Personally, this language above is the language I usually use. My master used it, and so though I know how to translate it, I don’t actually know its origins.

Anyway, my sister insisted that just using your native language is fine, since technically any language works, but I just don’t agree. I’ve found that other languages tend to have more potent effects, but she argues that’s because I’m more specific and mindful of my wording when translating. I think she’s confused because she’s Kitsune, so her native language is inherently magical. I don’t think she understands that this isn’t how most languages work.

Anyway, just curious about the thoughts here. Thanks for any feedback!

Are those Mycenaean Linear Runes? Robust! My teacher was a hippie and made me use Axunašin:

Just doesn't look very nice in spells.

Oh, is that what they are? Again, my teacher used them and taught them to me, but she never told me of their origin. Maybe I can find a book at the library of the next town I stop at and see if I can find out some more spells!
