( he is a certified (but carefully regulated) InfomodderTM for whom the player apologizes profusely tbqh.
'voodoo' doesn't translate for him directly — instead, it comes across as shiji hyōketsu, which is hidan's curse technique of causing pain or death via the infliction of injuries on his own body. it works well enough to get the idea across, in any case. the idea that the doll may represent damage done to the princess' body.

In my world, there are techniques that inflict damage on a surrogate that harms the intended target. Likewise, it is possible to create exact copies of others, or to transform one's own appearance in such a way that fools even the target's closest allies. I cannot speak to whether or not the magic in this world can do the same as I am not familiar enough with it to make that judgement, but the more possibilities we are aware of the more cautiously we can approach the outcome here.
However remote the chance, if the princess is not her genuine self, we should explore that before making any arrangements or deals with the Sorcerer.
Sabriel-san may be able to detect if magic was used on the clay. Would you be willing to share it with her?
( of those he has met here, she stands the greatest chance at uncovering such a thing. )
