Is there a risk that any authentication scheme could be bypassed by transferring the "Autenticatedness" from someone else, or does the magic system forbid that somehow?

In any case, some kind of magical version of the bracelet lock sounds like a good idea, if you can think of one.

Transferring authenticatedness doesn't work, so that's not going to be an issue.

I can't think of a way to magic up the bracelet to work like this, unfortunately.
