Granted, Entropy 4 can just give someone a disease, so Jesse is overcomplicating the matter and I really don't think this oculd be anything but Vulgar Magic, but....

Having run both MTAs and MTAw, I prefer not having so many spheres to achieve a relatively simple goal. Like in this case, you are looking to use three spheres at reasonably high ratings to just remove a guard. In MTAw you could use any one Arcana at 3 or 4 to accomplish the same task.
Time 4: The guard is transported a day into the future.
Forces 2: Render your group invisible and soundless.
Life 4: The guard is turned into a rat or whatever.
Mind 2: The guard forgets the group was there, or any higher rank to just mind control the guard in various ways (MTAs can also do this with the single sphere)
Prime 4: The guard is forced to look into the Supernal and his eyes are burned out in the process. Dick move.
Space 4: The guard is teleported away.
Spirit 4: Chuck the guard across the gauntlet.
And if you just want to kill or incapacitate the guard any single Arcana can do that at 3 (bashing) or 4 (lethal) all by itself.
TBF, this is clearly an intern-level slinger gettin' sweaty and blithely careening toward oblivion at record speed. I give 'em two sessions tops before they're rolling up a new character. 🤣
