That is true but judging from the personality of Zinalin's words, he seemed like a stubborn mage who acted like a child, not willing to compromise, his description was not even developed at all. Plus the first time I spared him, he turned me into a clacker. You should consider the thoughts of the characters around him. Ditiloff is quite the impatient one and would rather take back the wand by force. Anyway, I do not understand how Climaki was free to run away as a clacker and also take the humanoid glyph with him. Not to mention Malco was standing 50 feet away from all that was happening and no guards came to stop him. It was a fun event all aside, although it could have been more in-depth rather than a 5 minute idea.
