This doesn't even make sense. If the spell falls apart without Kier's symbol, then Kier's symbol absolutely is "actually necessary."

It's a common thing in programming. There's some legacy code that isn't being used and yet removing it causes things to break. Nobody has the time to figure out what is still referencing that code, so it just gets a comment next to it saying "Not used, but removing it breaks the build" and then forgotten about.
