I agree fella needs to be punished.
However... this was not the right way. XD This is how you CREATE an antagonist! Fella was loyal enough to leave and vow his silence, refusing money in an attempt to show it. His anger was directed at himself failing at that point.
But then ML just had to go and give this guy a reason to want revenge on him? To have hostility towards the wizard?! Seems like a bad move.
Like punish him and strip his memory. If you can remove his peen you can remove/muddle with his memory.
Maybe I'm just paranoid. Or maybe he did that and we just weren't shown it.
