What RSA students hold during battles isn't actually a sword, it's a baton (a conductor's baton). It's an item that's separate from their magic-stone brooch meant to reinforce their visual theme, and it allows for more customization in appearance than a magical pen. Trein uses the same brooch-style magic stone as RSA, since I imagined both following a traditional style. (source)

Crewel also carries a rod, but he wears his magic stone dangling from a strap, giving off a flashier impression (his personal taste takes priority over tradition).

Vargas's bracelet is also just his own personal preference. I imagine that once they're adults they're free to design their magic stones however they like, so it might be fun to think about how the students will customize theirs in the future. (source)

Also, Idia's magic stone is set in a magical device, but he probably did receive a standard magical pen when he first enrolled. He just took it apart on his own and went all out on modifying it. What a troublemaker. (source)

you gotta wonder what exactly he thought was going to happen...

"bring to me your goodest boys," they said. and the boys were brought, and sunshine and sweetness spread throughout the land.

"no wait," they said, "now it's too good. we need some balance here. you got any spare weird little freaks hanging around?"
