I thought it was a slightly cliched representation of "magical healing", but like Schattenstern I think I always envisioned it from the perspective of the Wolfriders' wonderment. But I do love Dancing's idea, that it is also Leetah putting on a show -- perhaps to awe the Wolfriders, and perhaps to remind Rayek of her own spectacular strengths, or maybe just out of ego. I don't know which, or maybe a bit of all of it, but I think it adds a lot to my reading of the scene to think of it this way.
