Although Rajiv agreed to help, the current situation did not allow them to simply spend a dozen minutes making a "Fake Key" like before and use it to pass through the doors of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
All the sorcerers had been stripped of their magic. Their spellcasting now relied entirely on the armor they wore, which meant that if they wanted to cast "Fake Key" again, they would have to invent the spell all over again from scratch.
