yeah, I was planning on infusing my wires with souls so it connects straight to the souls inside the creature, than I would tie other wires to my "living knifes" shoot them straight through the serpentine beasts body, wrap the physical wires around its body, and pull the soul away with my soul infused wires while pulling the body the other way with my physical wires.
Edit:The knife's would do a part of the pulling(still more than enough strength)
