"Ha-ha-ha. You really understand quickly, Al. You're right. I said that this loyalty crest is an improvement on the magic circle of [naming], but in fact it is also incomplete. You can't choose who your opponent is loyal to, but rather you have to leave it up to them."

And when magic circle is used by multiple recipients, it may be that the magic power is not sent to either of them, but to the one who is more loyal to the recipient.

If so, such a magic circle would be a failure.

The reason why Benjamin was able to increase the amount of magic now is because the servants here trust him and are loyal to him.

Otherwise, it would have no effect at all, and if this magic circle were to spread carelessly in Briaria, other nobles might increase their magic power instead of the royal family.

Still, the reason why they improved the magic circle of [naming] may be because they wanted to limit the destination of the magic power to people above the nobility.
