Scot is technically a corporeal non-human entity at this point. He's a physical manifestation of negativity. Normally the candle would have created a seperate body, but the lighter being used on it focused the release to pure instnct. Because of the cupcake tin, the Id that was released was pure evil personified, and the use of the dagger, however well intentioned, made sure there was no positive influences in there.

Whatever Scott is, he isn't human. He's living artifact energy with a solid shell. It's likely he doesn't have a mind to break, so to speak. He's just an Id, pure instinct acting in the most primal ways. Except he has Garret's knowledge, making him even more dangerous.
