[The alien on screen looks mildly irritated but it's not directed at Ian, it's because magic may be involved in all this and that is so annoying. ]
I say this as a scientist and a strict rationalist but the fabric of reality could stand to be slightly more prosaic.
Magic - as in confounding anomalous forces or beings that have a tenuous and quite frankly nonsensical relationship with proven physicals laws - is real. Disappointingly so.
Fortunately, magic sometimes abides by internally coherent limitations, even if there's no practical reason these limitations should exist. That said, it's entirely possible the proposed solutions Sam listed won't affect this being, even if it is magical.
The last time my team fought a being like this, only an artifact touched with the blood of one of Earth's messiah figures was able to seal it away from reality.
Regardless, the existence of metapowers with scientifically verifiable causes and explanations doesn't preclude the existence of beings capable of irrational and anomalous probability manipulation.
