[Taako makes a note to himself that he'll need to discuss this with Lup and Lucretia later; he won't give the full details, since this is Cisco's business and he doesn't want to share too much, but he'd like them on the same page so they can work out a plan if it's needed, and so that if something happens it won't come as a shock.]

Okay, we'll put the 'you pretend not to know he's an evil motherfucker' on the back burner for now.

[It's not that he wants to doubt Cisco, it's just that if he can't say with confidence that he can handle it, Taako doesn't think it's worth the risk. There are other options that don't involve making Cisco face someone he's terrified of.]

We can also rule out any spell that needs to actually hit it's target, no fireballs or whatever, but I've got a few that just work. [Things he can cast so long as Eobard is in range, although some of them might require a saving throw, on Eobard's part but that's a bridge they can cross when they get to it.] I mean, magic jar might work. Take over his body and kill it that way.

[What he doesn't say is that if magic jar works, there's a very real chance he could also die, but again, that's a problem for the future.]
