Elaine would have to declare herself the Wizard of Los Angeles, she wasn’t involved in the Fomor war and hasn’t technically earn’t her bones. Yet.
Given Harry publicly being the Wizard of Chicago, the fact that Elaine also advertises as ‘wizard’ in the phone book means she is on a collision course with the White Council. They would look weak if two people defy them, and of course they would pick on the ‘weaker’ first. Expect Carlos to have his ass handed to him.
One of the reasons why Harry’s death sentence is suspended is that everyone is afraid or unwilling to take him on, and this was before the Red Court and Ethnui, so they intend to use the Blackstaff, recovering from injuries (the cowards) as Luccio is powered down and Harry’s former paramour, and Morgan is dead, leaving Eb. This won’t stop them moving on Elaine who they think is much less powerful than she actually is. The fact she bamboozled Carlos suggests (1) she is more powerful, (2) she is more subtle and (3) she used Carlos weaknesses against him. They think they can use Carlos against Elaine.
