The magic may be gone, but I believe that Toby's point was that even if the personal power of the ritual is revealed to be nonexistent, the social power may still remain.
I don't understand: could you explain what specifically you are claiming remains? Social power implies that it impacts other people and their actions, which I don't think is the case in this situation.
