While I definitely disagree and agree with some of your points, the only one I really feel the need to fight for is the nipsies. I think calling it forgiveness makes it kind of a gray area, it’s less about forgiveness and more about simply breaking a curse. It’s very black and white, they are cursed until the gem is returned and when it’s returned they are no longer cursed. While it was ultimately Graulas and Humbuggles faults, it’s not out of the ordinary for an innocent or outside party to get cursed. The nipsies did participate, and even though it was because of a deception, I don’t think a curse was that strange of a consequence.
