I adequate firepower to do the man justice.Well, there you go right there. All he has to do is spend a bit of quality time with Colbert, and soon enough you have yourself a machine shop kitted out to produce all kinds of wonderful prototypes. And it won't be that far of a stretch for the story line, either. Apparently they've already been working on reverse-engineering goodies from their interdimensional neighbors, as we can see from their muskets and their giant-ass steam-powered airship. If they have the machinery to produce high-performance steam engines that size, then how much more work would it honestly take to produce viable repeating rifles?
OTOH he can easily be explained as Louis needing discipline. He has a force of personality and wordcraft that he is fully capable of over riding nobles by yelling at them... you'd be giving him a Rune that tells him exactly how to wield any weapon and he knows how the teach people those skills. He also has a rather scary knowledge of military tactics and weapons... and has done documentaries explaining how to make, use, and deploy centuries worth of weapons. He'd be able to take a competent Earth mage and turn them into an infinite ammo code with legs.
Oh, and he's probably gonna wind up adopting that commander of the musketeer forces.
