Hmm. Curious mechanic.

While in this case it's intended purely as a flavor-driven behavior, wherein the creature is granted with some judicial authority, the ability is derived from Glare of Subdual.

EDIT - Maybe you were referring to my mistake with the token-generating aspect.

Heh. I think I was a bit distracted while I was writing, hence the cryptic brevity. What I think I was referring to is the enchantment making a token, and then giving enchanted creature an ability to use that token. It's like Fists of Ironwood but with another layer of complexity. Which is fine, of course, since that was common and this is uncommon.

Switch ETB ability to a "when you cast" ability.

Hm. I fear the risk with this will be that people will want to put this on the Knight that it produces. Of course, people probably wanted to try that even with the less-conducive wording of Fists of Ironwood. But I think this'll confuse more people this way.

Well, this and (((Empyrial Emblem))) are Uncommon, so I'm not too terribly concerned that casual players unfamiliar with the process of choosing targets before casting will be upset about it.

That's not to say I would completely disregard such concerns, but for the moment I decided this was a valuable alteration in order to make Auras like it more playable, as the creature (or card) is effectively uncounterable barring Voidslime and company.

Ditched the Glare of Subdual effect for simplicity's sake.

No more token production.
