But even if he did, he's not going to just waste it on a dwarf he's just met (from his perspective). Xykon likes his ludicrous applications of force, but familicide wouldn't kill Durkon any faster than a lot of other spells - familicide is just more personal.

IF he's researched it, and IF he's really, really annoyed with Durkon and IF he finds out Durkon has a large family he cares about and IF he doesn't realise that most of that family isn't related to him by blood (familicide would kill his mum, Sigdi, Kudzu and Hilgya - devastating, but not the mass slaughter Xykon would hope for), then, possibly. So, no. Rest easy. All that's endangering Durkon's family is a reality-erasing apocalypse, you've got nothing to worry about.
If there's anything I can see the horrible bone-man doing with Familicide, it would be learning it and then purposely not using it, just hunting down everyone it would kill himself and rounding them up to kill in front of the person he would've cast it on.
