Julian,
Yes you are on the right track. If the magnifier is treated as a lumped
tuned system, yes, there is rise. If it is a separate driver then the
turns ratio comes into play. Either way, the voltage on a properly
constructed driver will be a small fraction of the system output voltage.
Hopefully, never more than 10 times the AC inout.
