It's still a request.
You're talking two entirely different contexts. Of course it's impractical to bring a book to a battle if you intend on whacking them with the book (and it does pitiful damage no less) rather than using the magic incantations.

If your rebuttal is that "it's a request", then there's no rebuttal to anything, and there's no need for a discussion, but it almost makes me wonder why you even want to reply to other people at that point.
