In addition to this, the excerpt “But once a year all Pau Ammas must shake off their hard armor and be soft—to remind them of what the Eldest Magician could do” sounds like a recommendation or a duty of all Paul Ammas, that the narrator is telling the addressed person that he/she should fulfill as a Pau Ammas.
