Sneezed out pot:
I like the thought, that it is a new magical talent. Like foresight, but more individual. Tending to shape shifting.

He's already created ice constructs a few times that extend beyond just freezing water that was already present since becoming winter knight - the claws when he fought Maeve, and the wall to separate the ghouls in SG. The mass for those pretty much had to have come from ectoplasm too, so it's not a total departure from established abilities.

Whatever it was that Harry created the first time he sneezed.

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.

The 1st sneeze had no wave-of-exhaustion; also, whatever it was would have already dissolved into ectoplasm.  Harry wasn't thinking about anything specific in that mome...

hey...

waitaminnit here...  Wait one damn minute.

Are we being Star Trek'ed, again?

TOS Trek episode "Shore Leave."   'Nuf said.

I can't remember 'Shore Leave', what's that one about?

[Bad Alias]

A lot of TOS was really close to being fantasy instead of sci-fi.

Short leave: Vacation in a wonderful planet where wishes come true.

Icecream! I have not seen you in ages, I am so glad you are here and I hope all is well with you  .

I wish we see LTW again.

I think this is different. The ice must have come from water all around. Out of the air, in the ground etc. I don't think it is created out of ectoplasm. In dead beat for example, when they were fleeing from the zombies from the morgue, he uses fuego to draw the warmth from the ground into the flame he sent into the sky and the result was ice on the street.

I think creating ice is a lot like creating fire. The one is to send energy out in form of heat, the fire. The other is withdrawing the heat and then maybe some slowing down of water particles to create ice.

I've been rethinking my original idea that Ebenezer is knockin' on the door.  Why would Eb have to push through the swartelves wards?  I think with the help of the Blackstaff he could do that, but barring an emergency Ebenezer could just ask for a message to be sent to Harry that he was at the front gate.

So I'm thinking that someone from Summer; a heavy hitter who would definitely not be welcome under ordinary circumstances, has been sent to announce Summer's intention to attend the Peace Talks and talk to a representative of Winter about keeping the peace between Summer and Winter during the talks.  So my new guess is that either Eldest Gruff is at the door; probably sent by Sarissa, or perhaps it's Sarissa herself.  Yes, I know the fae might be able to come straight into Molly's place from the nevernever, but they are making a statement by coming through the gate. 

I think Sarissa will be far more formidable than Lily and it's about time we get to see the new Summer Lady.

The holodeck without the holograms. Amusement park in space.

I can't remember 'Shore Leave', what's that one about?

Enterprise crew -- exhausted & in dire need of shore-leave -- finds idyllic planet.

Survey teams report strange encounters on the surface, despite prior scans from orbit saying "no large animals" -- Lewis Carroll's white rabbit from Wonderland, a tiger, a samurai; and Kirk meets both an old Academy-era nemesis, Finnegan; and Ruth, a woman he once loved.

It turns out, in the end, that the planet is a vast amusement park for an alien race, where "whatever people think of" gets created to entertain them.

Edit -- Double Post.  Sorry.

[Wrane]

I have a different thought.

I believe that the sneezing is some sort of contagious magical bug being spread by the Formor ( or someone using Carlos, as a Cat's Paw)  to weaken mantles.(all of them) to change the balance of the supernatural world.  This would infect all the accords members weakening all and resetting hostilities among the members. 

The knock on the door feels like it will be a accord member not well trusted by Team Dresden (Marve, Cowl, One of the Dragons and the like.

It doesn't take a very thick layer of ice to make ground slippery. Ambient atmospheric moisture could probably cover that. Perhaps also the ice claws, depending on how far away Harry can actually pull moisture from.

But the wall? An enclosed indoor space doesn't have enough water vapour in the air for that.

My moneys on Mother Winters Cauldron, the one she used to stir with the Blackstaff

Except the item dissolved into ectoplasm within moments, so not a major item of power.

I'm still going with "whatever random item (if any) at the top of Harry's mind (if any)."

Yeah, I remember that episode, it was called, "This Side of Paradise, there were weird flowers that
shot spores that protect the colonists from deadly radiation but at the same time makes them passive.  The Enterprise arrives to evacuate the colonists to save them from the radiation, but they don't know about the flowers and the spores.  Everyone including Spock is affected, he falls in very human love.   Only Kirk in the end, because he really is in love with his ship and can't leave it, gets pissed which neutralizes the spores.  He then realizes that strong emotion can also neutralize the effect of the spores, he then gets in a fight with peace and love Spock, and they save the day.

 In "Shore Leave", the crew land on a beautiful what they think is an uninhabited planet for much needed R&R, what they don't know is it really is an amusement planet, the guy running it reads their minds  with special equipment and their fantasies appear before their eyes to play out.  This freaks
everyone out and things get dire before they finally figure it out.
