In retrospect, it’s pretty funny that the two things in the Magnus Archives that the ‘encase it in cement’ strategy were used against were:
- an immortal supernatural entity trying to spread a deadly plague to bring about the apocalypse, and
- a very large pig
I’ve seen people in the notes going, “well how else were they supposed to defeat the pig?” - and like obviously the answer is the power of friendship but regardless - my thing is less “why did they cement the pig?” and more “why didn’t they cement more things?”
What I’m saying is they should have encased Elias in cement.
