Unexpected Power Ups Following Battle Ground

[Snark Knight]

What year does Peace Talks take place? If we go with Miss Spencer's (Jim's go to timeline expert) best guess, 2013.

Except the fire at Notre Dame was alluded to in Peace Talks, so it has to be more recent. That was in 2018.

I love Toot getting a power up!

Here's a thought: With all the mortal world finding out about the supernatural world, wouldn't all those involved get a power up? Doesn't their power increase or decrease depending on belief?

Toot's the man!

Cheers!

As far as I know, belief does not grant power. It does however allow a supernatural being to act more freely in the mortal realm, which technically does indeed improve one's power level in a sense. Uriel can blow up galaxies, but he can't wield that level of power over the mortal realm for example.

Let's say that Mab have 1000 power level and Ethniu has 10,000 power level. If Ethniu takes Mab on in Arctis'tor, Mab could probably perform the power level of 5000 while Ethniu will be supressed to may be 3000 or so. Vice versa will happened if Mab dare to take Ethniu on in her seat of power.

Battles in the material plain however is different. No divinity has the freedom to unleash all of their power in this little sandbox. Every power above the mortal level is restricted in some way and belief is one of those restriction. Purpose, duty and choices of certain mortals may allow certain divinity to unleash more power or get limited in some way. If Mab could catch someone under a deal for example, she could do a lot more, and if a KoTC fail his or her purpose, TWG cannot support them.

This is important because technically Ethniu should not be able to act so rampantly in the mortal plain. Perhaps the Baylor's eye is part of the reason why she could unleash that much power so freely in the mortal plain, but if the old rules still hold, even Ethniu must be restricted in some way or she must have a weakness like a fae's alergy to cold iron. Well, unless Ethniu is infected. Nemesis has been shown to be able to break such restrictions. Nemesis is able to allow Maeve to lie for example, but if that is the case Harry the starborn may be able to do something.

Another possibility, a proto god is basically exempt from such restriction to begin with. Which probably explain why TWG banish most of them to the outer gates while the rest that remains in this universe is detain in demonreach. Proto gods simply does not fit with the current balance

The question you should be asking is why did Harry time travel back to Paris in 2013, the rest then falls into place.

   One thing we do know, Harry isn't gaining the power to assemble kid's toys in an instant..

[Conspiracy Theorist]

In the Murder by the Book Q& A Jim stated that one day, Harry may actually get the Hat, a broad brim fedora. It might have been a joke, or it might have been a sign of the impending apocalypse.

I could see him getting the Hat as say a birthday or Christmas gift from his daughter, which would ensure he would wear it, and have real pain about it getting lost or damaged or stolen.   

With Mirror Mirror next up this would allow him to be distinguished from his Evil Twin.

Unexpected power up The Hat is Not A Lie.

That answer's what's the earliest year Harry could have written the "Peace Talks" journal entry. (Or a continuity error).

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I just noted that Harry’s new suit is three piece (it only comes up expressly only when he shucks it to get into the dumbwaiter) the waistcoat/vest means that his torso is protected by two layers of spelled spidersilk and three to four with the spelled leather of the duster (including the Mantle).

Harry will have a watch pocket, he can now buy a decent mechanical pocket watch, and have his amulet (or a smaller version made up) as a watchfob.

[Bad Alias]

Harry's standard dress from here on out being a suit is just weird.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

It shows Harry has become “the Man”, not a monster, although Harry may disagree. He has become the authority figure he disagrees with.

He should however complete the ensemble with a nice tie, say a Wile E, Coyote tie, or Star Wars.

Harry is the public face of the White Council, he quite often dressed shambolically, but he is a grown up now, a dad and everything.

The impression I got was the "suit" was the uniform that the wardens adopted for the talks, as opposed to their usual robes and cloaks.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Probably a grey suit, BUT his is spidersilk and spell protected, Molly has no ted that Harry tends to be a little rough on formal clothes e.g every single tux.

I bet it looked a lot like the others, but of course Molly would want to make sure her Knight/mentor/friend had a little extra protection.  It is a given that when the s--t hit the fan, Harry would be in the middle of it.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Harry is generally the fan.

He should probably skip the tie as he gets into a lot of close quarters combat these days. Unless it's something like this: https://www.amazon.com/HWC-Police-Security-Breakaway-Closure/dp/B001IVBVQC.

His suit was made from the same material as the wardens cloaks, right?

I seem to remember that, however three piece suits are not the usual warden uniform.
