Since I showed in an earlier video that one can finish the binding ritual while in a conversation (the box receives input for the words and the enter key is recognized), I thought I'd make use of the fact that the shrine and the binding circle are so near each other in Trinsic. (Maybe Britain is good for similar experiments, too.)

Now, it seems at first glanse that the binding ritual is overridden, since the word field imediately disappears, but then we see that it's still there when the binding circle is onscreen, it's just it doesn't accept input and mashing the enter key is also useless.
Even more, now the field stays onscreen and nothing makes it go away, just if we go real far and return. At least than it becomes interactable. Trying to reinitiate the binding with the same spell while the box is still not responding does nothing. I kept mashing the enter key no to avail.

I honestly expected that the two main rituals would mix and create something very interesting. At least it gave me even more ideas to experiment.
I don't know when will I have my next casual speedrun of this game, but I have a strong feeling that it won't be that 100% casual, either...
