So Draconians don't use "arcanium" to create spell effects, but some of them do have magic?

So is Melvin going to Spider-Man up the outside of the wall and then zap the Draconian mage with an ultraviolet laser, or has he got something more subtle in mind?

Melvin's laser scalpel only has a range of 30 centimetres. It could jump the wizard from behind, but one glance would probably send it flying before the scalpel is in range. The gate the Draconians are coming through is, at the moment, the larger threat, but it's not a physical thing it can affect. Nor are there runes here it can destroy.
Nor can it retreat, as these Draconians pose a continuing threat in that they've already demonstrated an ability to evade its sensors. It doesn't have enough flour in inventory to keep spraying that stuff around to find invisible attackers, and we've already seen what happens when someone strikes a match in aerosolized flour.
It's primarily an observer sending back clips of Jeon's life in a nasty twist of The Truman Show. No giant arsenal of weapons it could deploy. It's going to have to improvise.
Eat your heart out, T-1000.

I’ve been wanting to reply but I just returned to my physical job and I’m so tired still since I’m not used to it. I apologize for being behind this week but I’m not alert enough when I get home to write a reply.!
s'ok, get your rest. We need your mind sharp.

Aww. You mean the probe memory-wiped Jeon just as he was undergoing some important character development / realisation about his life?

Yup.
The Probe is a lot like HAL from 2001 - it's cut off from guidance and is trying to do the mission in accordance to the parameters given to it by a bunch of extremely paranoid isolationists who want to use Jeon's experiences for their own benefit.
If it was returning Jeon to Zaya, he could keep his memories. But this isn't even the same universe, so going home is not an option. Not only that, this place has already proven itself a danger to the Probe. Letting Jeon remember that he was inside the actual Probe, that it is actually much larger, more complex, and possessed of technology far beyond that of his Earth is not something it can allow him to keep.
As you recall, erasing memories is something the Zayans do very well, and he's lucky he can still remember the airlock.
Kevin's going to be facing the same Jeon he did this morning, someone who has no idea who he is, and without his "buddy MedBot". Instead, there will be "Melvin" who is taking a new approach to better hide his abilities.
And its best bet right now is to convince everyone that the stunt Melvin pulled off as Jeon was accomplished using some sort of magical chain mail that was destroyed in the attempt that also robbed him of his memories.

Sorry for the delay, I'm thinking of where I want to take things next!
