You have excellent points but there is one thing I disagree with. They could have just killed Brain in prison,while he couldn't use magic.Just slash his throat and be done with it. I believe it's either deceiving Tartaros or tracking them. Crawford was watching at the time so fooling him should be a part of the plan.
