The fact that he's using sheer blasts of magic should show just how powerful he's become in Shadowcrest, and how Zatanna has influenced him just as much as he has her. The chains connect to him as well, after all.
"Of all the people to barge into my home uninvited, it gets to be you. Oh, Constantine, you shouldn't have done this. I had far more cruel ways for you to die."
Another wave of energy expels from the man's hand, which bears straight into Constantine's chest.
Funnily enough, nothing has yet been aimed at Zachary. It's almost as if Papa can't even see him yet--smoke enshrouds him somehow, keeping him off the magus' radar completely.
The real point of his blowing smoke in Zach's face at Xanadu's. Little twerp didn't even have the guts to say 'thanks.'
John rises back up to his feet, unprepared for the assault Midnight is unleashing. He and Midnight don't fight this way--they're both too subtle, too underground to just push on the forces of reality. They pull and manipulate.
Still, that doesn't mean John doesn't know how to fight back. He quickly tugs his coat off, and as the next force of will slams towards him, the coat is flicked forward as if trying to encourage a bull, and the blast is reflected. This time, it's Papa who's sent reeling backwards, a bookcase tumbling on top of him.
John takes the moment just long enough to push Zach towards Zee, while he can still keep Papa from seeing through the glamour.
Zatanna quietly struggles against Midnight, trying her best to put up a fight, but he's too strong, and he's only gotten stronger. She feels him tap into her power, and she's still unable to put up a block of any sort. She looks in Zatara's general direction desperately.

"That's better, Constantine. I can still make this cruel, so long as you're going to give it your best."
Zatanna gives a lurch as Papa *pulls* on her power, and invisible chains wrap themselves around Constantine, and then begin to squeeze.
"Please. Scream. I want to taste it."
