I rather like this part. Sort of similar the WCV getting Stoker to write about the BCV's and all but eradicating them... with a modern twist to it.
And who's to say that Nic's repeated attempts to eradicate knowledge about him has been all that successful? Sure, he's slowed the Church down a time or two, but that's not the only knowledge repository Harry (and others) may have at their disposal...
There is The Archive, after all...
:)
Sully:
I'm sure the archive already knows plenty, she just can't/doesn't say much.

I don't doubt for a second that now that he knows what Anduriel can do, he won't prepare for him. Harry is willing to kill. Taking Nic out once and for all would simply be practical.

Frankly, he had a good shot in the vault and he missed it by using the wrong spell. When Nic was busy fighting Michael and Harry tagged him by surprise with the ice cannonball that broke a couple ribs, he could have done something a lot better - iced him from the neck down like he did to the tongueless goons who disrespected Mab, and set Michael up to take his head off.
I get why it was necessary for Nicodemus to escape for literary reasons, but it's a bit jarring for Harry to jump so sharply between monologing about Hannah's problem being she wasn't prepared enough to be creative with her magic and then missing an easy victory option himself.

The one problem here is that once Nic was helpless, Michael would have started talking to him again, trying to save him. Harry would have had to do the ice spear trick then run over and grab the noose. Or the frigidus-forzare combo and then picked up the noose from the Nic chunks.

Are you forgetting that computers in Harry's vicinity, as a rule, go kaboom? Blue Screen of Death? Who'd believe a bunch of assertions without proof, apart from conspiracy-theorists like Butters's crazy friend Gary?
