So I barely understand how to get the slayer onto the 3x3 square when I /have/ my sword, I have no idea what horrifying maneuver convinces this man to get on the pressure plate when I don't have one.

It's not too horrifying, I hope...

It involves guiding the wisp, which always chooses the shortest route to Beethro. The walls near the pressure plate are important tools in this maneuver. Beethro needs to make a move such that the wisp's shortest path crosses the pressure plate.

Here is a picture where it is about to happen... (... if Beethro makes that one important move.)

..tell me that way doesn't work when you have the sword, because if it does I have been hideously overcomplicating the rest of this level.

Well, it is easier when Beethro is swordless, as in this room. ;)

At close range, the slayer may react to Beethro's sword position. He might stop moving, or he might step off the wisp's path.

Actually it is possible to use the same trick in this room when Beethro has his sword, so I think a swordman can manage this easily.

By the way, is it supposed to be possible to kill the slayer in this room (after he's helped you beat it, of course)?

I didn't intend for Slayers to be killable (and the player to still be able to escape to the room boundary) anywhere in the hold; it's become clear as time went on that it's still possible to do this in many cases. But, at least it's harder than usual.
