Using mirrors and the power of the Sigsand Manuscript, he is able to trap the being before destroying its prison.

==Trivia==
*Amongst the occult tomes consulted by the McCalls during their experiments were "a particularly worrisome text said to have been written by a mad Arab", most likely intended to be the Necronomicon, and "a copy of Prinn’s tome on spells and Saracenic rituals", a reference to De Vermis Mysteriis.
