And how do these reasons negate that flaw that his magic doesn't work outside the vincinity of Pavis? "Lord Pavis, you should allow me to use magic far beyond
the city of Pavis because I am foolishly in love with Otta" is the equivalent of

Don't misrepresent the debate. The argument was about why shouldn't his magic work outside Pavis and the related statement that having Pavis magic restricted to the locality of Pavis is far too restricting.
