The summoning ritual here is very satisfying, it is also well used as it introduced a large group of new characters at once. Seeing the Southern Wizards get their own scenes also gave the episode more shape. The writing here feels too technical/scripted though, I can barely feel any warmth or emotion here. I thought the pacing will be better here but oh boy, the second half was dragging. The world building is interesting here though but it doesn't feel developed enough.
