Crystallizing the sand into a prison would have been pretty amazing.

Unrelated ... doesn't seem odd that the 'rats can make the child a fiend? Shouldn't that be a ridiculously low probability event, even if we're talking about Mamoru's genes?
Death feedback is something that needs to be reinforced through hyponosis. Even if they are already genetically predisposed against harming other humans, it's something they can always overcome with rational thought unless it was repeatedly engrained into their minds that it was bad.

It's not limited to Cantus or lethal attacks. The elder tested out Saki's death feedback back when she was just a child by stabbing himself. The sheer act of perceiving another human being harmed would cause your body to shut down.

And how would Shisei trap a Cantus user who can use his full powers? He can't use too much power that would harm the kid or his body would shut down from death feedback.
