Okay. So what I'm seeing, after "re-watching" that scene a few times, is that we've got our first mind-controlly runewriter right here. He takes control of Ezra's hand, drawing Esra's own sword to use as a weapon against him.
Furthermore, he does this while inside what appears to be a ritual circle thing meant to keep him under control. (It isn't runewriter magic, that circle and candles. Plus it's too obvious to miss at a glance, so Esra would have startled on his way through the door if he hadn't expected it to be present.) So our scary mind-controlly runewriter found a way to break some ritualist magic. Now THAT is interesting.
