I thought Index told Komoe it's not about 'summoning a angel' but 'giving a angel's shape to the energy gathered'? (ref Vol1 Ch3 pt1)
According to the narrative, it's about creating a miniture world, and its guardian is like a temporary god in this made up world's boundaries. So magic doesn't have a sentience, if you define magic as 'natural magical energy that's present in the world'. Other things made from magic probably will have sentience, if you count things like grimoires. Those things can at least interact with other people, if the Aztec grimoires are anything to go by; killing a host because they refuse to read their magic and teach it to others (eg Tecpatl), and also making deals with a host (eg Etzali's 1st grimoire, saving Xochitl in exchange for Etzali to wield the grimoire).
