an issue i'm having with this is that the nobles are still trying to intimidate him despite seeing that spell lol. normally you wouldn't even try to approach him if you tried insulting such a person earlier, or apologize
and instead of randomly saying "oh you didn't use a circle wtf that's sorcery" it could've been better if they did something like add a rule where you had to use a magic circle or something, then mistake him for not using one when the activation speed was too fast to notice. that would make a lot more sense rather than this superior noble stuff
