I was quite surprised that Rozemyne was able to see Detlinde. Since she’s not physically present, I would have expected her to only see things through mana and thus be unable to see anything of Detlinde, that is covered by silver cloth. It would have been… interesting if Rozemyne only saw two hovering hands and only heard Detlinde. ^^ I guess this magic somehow taps into the senses of the other person, rather than solely relying on mana. Or it’s an oversight by the author.

I think this is similar to how Lutz saw Myne during the tromb incident and Siggy

When Myne instinctively cast the spell through the ring lent to her by Ferdinand, there was no mana blocking silver cloth involved...

Good point. Also the mana blocking cufs should have also terminated the feed immediatly (which it didn't).

That I have no issue with, since they are schtappe sealing, rather than mana sealing cuffs, so it's possible they might not work 100% on any non-schtappe related magic, especially in light of how Ferdinand is carrying at the very least Rozemyne's protective charm and likely several of his own devising, which might well have interfered with the workings of the cuffs for a while, until being drained of mana.

I think it was no coincidence that the connection broke, the moment the rainbows from Rozemyne's charm faded. Of course that also coincides with the moment Ferdinand lost consciousness, so I can't be sure.
