Ferdinand didn't crush Wilfried with mana, only bound him and crushed his carefree attitude with words and the effortless crushing of Wilfried's guard.I think it's because his grudge against "grandmother" make him went that far too.
ferdinand get treated far worse and I'd say it'd not be surprised if he point his grudge to slyvester but he still being nice brother and even fully trust him when he said his kid will grow up to be good lord like previous chapter.
He's probably not gonna went that far but because Wil being biased against him(due to Veronica's influence) and mentioned "grandmother" is probably last straw for ferdinand to let his emotion loose(crushed the kid and his attendant)
So yeah, trauma and grude stay 'till the end of his life. I hope Myne being middleman(or girl) for both side in this arc conclusion.
Imagine the difficulty of getting archnoble children to snap out of a crushing tantrum. No wonder they have mana sucking magic tools prepared!
I have known (not raised) children who struggle to learn the dangers of the modern world because they do not feel and believe it, running out in full parking lots alone because they have no reason to believe something bad will happen. In my opinion such children need either a physically painful punishment accompanied by, "this pain doesn't even come close to what you could feel from doing that! You could lose a limb or DIE!" : or actual photos of aftermath of accidents (automotive or otherwise if a different machine is involved)I don't know about that.
Many time people use harshness when other methods would have a better result. For instance a parent beating their kid if they do something they told them not to do, when explaining the reason they should not do it, without the need for beatings, while answering any questions they have would help them better understand the actions they have and their consequences, because otherwise they will do those actions when the parent is no longer around, because they don't understand what was wrong with doing it other than their parents told them not to.
So there are many more harsh lessons that are overly harsh and either not important or not effective due to learning something other than what is intended.
Every child old enough to speak sentences and walk needs to know on some level that warning labels are written in BLOOD. In our society far too many adults view gruesome warning labels as mere suggestions. Much like Wilfried viewed his education in noble society as optional when death is actually potentially on the line.
