I wonder if the pain felt during name-swearing is a set intensity, or if there are individual differences, like with the mana synchronization potion. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the closer the mana quality and quantity of two nobles is, the less pain the process causes the supplicant. That way it would make absolute sense for Roderick to be in intense pain, after all he barely has the mana quality to still be counted as a mednoble and has only two natural elements.
Hartmut on the other hand was one of the more powerful archnobles to begin with and already learned Rozemyne's mana compression, has considerably more natural elements and even got Life affinity from divine protection before giving his name.
Of course I wouldn't put it past him to just be so fanatical, that his bliss drowned out the pain, or he even enjoyed the pain, since it's part of connecting him with his goddess... or whatever Rozemyne is to him in his own mind.
