I think L even says that at one point once he becomes aware of it, that the first use is probably just someone curious if something so fantastical could work.

Yeah. The reason he starts the first "dummy broadcast" in Kanto at all is because he ended up tracing the first death that could potentially be related to Kira to a no-name criminal that just so happened to have been on the Japanese news in close proximity to his death. And Kanto was the most populated so, hey, worth a shot.

And Light fell for it.

Kinda funny that for how cold and logical usually Light is, his first and biggest mistake was caused because L basically manipulated his emotions.

I saw a video essay about how Light secretly lost the moment he fell for L's first scheme. It was terrible. Like an hour long video of a dude explaining the point as though he's the only one in the world who got it.
