What more could he do? Once the ponies were inside the barrier, he couldn't cross it.

But he did do some things. When his horn was amputated, he spread dark crystals everywhere. When Twilight tripped the alarm, he trapped her in a wall of dark crystals. Which is quite an achievement since she was inside the barrier at the time. And lastly - and many seem to overlook this - he tries to impale Spike with a dark crystal in one of the most epic moments of the show, and would have succeeded if Shining Armor hadn't thrown Cadance Incredibles style.

And he was meant to be a "dark presence" like Sauron. If given the chance, he would have done some serious damage, possibly even killed the Mane 6, Shining Armor, or Cadance (not crystal ponies though, he'd want to re-enslave them). He is extremely powerful and, unlike the previous three villains, doesn't screw around
