Although a part of me is peeved that you ask Gwen to help with the battle, then proceed to not have her in it. And calling her out for having magic, instead of showing that he has it too; and then have her ask for his help, to train hers. As well as the max thing, but a part of me is also relieved that you got the max thing out of the way; so then there wouldn't be extra drama later on, down the course. In a way that actually makes sense, like him making expressions whenever she (Violet) changes color; showing that he has knowledge, that he shouldn't have if he didn't have an 'exciting' work life.
