[ Balthier has the good sense to let the attendant take the item from him even before David falls.

Balthier doesn't mean to but he immediately reaches for the Mist to do -- he hasn't even really thought it through because destructive elemental magick wouldn't have helped in this situation, but it's what he's been using most recently every time there's a problem.

Except he doesn't produce a thunderbolt. Instead there's a very bright flash of light that has everyone blinking.

Which gives him an idea. He quickly picks a nearby important looking display. He pulls for whatever the not-Mist spell space is again, willing the machine to look powered down. Last time he had an issue with the security cameras, so he tries to pull the spell wider to accompany anyone looking at it, now or remotely. Something has to be working because he feels the low-grade pressure in the back of his head that he felt when he sent out the double.

I would think a place like this would be protected against power surges he says.
