The interplay between topological electronic states and magnetism is in the spotlight of condensed matter for potential applications. PrAlGe is a prime candidate in this context, with several works reporting it as a magnetic Weyl semimetal. However, the microscopic relationship between the magnetic ordering, anomalous Hall effect and local spectroscopic signatures remains an open question. We study this phenomenon based on a combination of X-ray spectroscopy and first-principle calculations. We present our ab-initio approach to computing X-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering based on accurate Anderson Impurity model derived from density-functional theory with Hubbard corrections. This comparison is crucial for understanding the experimental finding that the ferromagnetic transition occurs at Tc ∼ 16 K, significantly lower than the temperature scale at which the AHE and circular dichroism vanish TAHE ∼ 35 K). The survival of circular dichroism above Tc serves as a local probe for the persistence of local magnetic moments.
