Also if Maya didn't create some type of "stage" as you like to say, then why would the world turn to night? creating night is the first thing that happens when she uses her magic. you can debate about the reasons all you want, but it is a fact that night is created.

It turns dark because of the distribution of light. Its not a "stage" or barrier. When she converges all the light into the lines, the area turns dark as a side effect. Remember how Tatsuya said the best magic is about scamming the laws of physics? This is a good example.
Meteor Line is also not amplified light. The amount of light is irrelevant, as the damage comes from the rewriting of the eidos done when "light becomes a line." The actual light has no destructive ability.
