If you are talking about the fight against the shambling horror with Murphy in a garden center, i don't remember any evocation except for forzar, his concentrated air spell that he used to knock over shelving. he defeated the shambling with the blue beetle and Murphy wielding a chainsaw. I will have to search the book and confirm that. As for the ghouls he didn't have to worry about finesse or collateral damage because he was outside. he just let loose. | |

His teaching at Camp Kaboom was one of the major secondary stories in White Night. It's when he and Ramirez dealt with the ghouls. | |

That's what his blasting rod gives him - control and focus. Things that come from practice and experience, not natural talent. | |
