We all have senile moments. I have about 10 a day.Yea I was in the middle of an online match today and I forgot where I was or what I was doing for a minute... it was very unsettling...
Odin is often associated with lightning in the franchise, but in mythology he is never mentioned as a god of lightning or the sky, unlike his son Thor.
This makes me think that Demonreach might be a counterpart to Avalon. Whereas DR has an evil leyline running from it, Avalon would have a good ley line. Where DR is the prison of ancient evil creatures and gods, Avalon is the resting place for heroes and good deities.... Mayhaps Merlin intentionally created DR on Avalon to have something ambient to hold in the darkness?
In Norse mythology, Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility. The cognate deity in wider Germanic mythology and paganism was known in Old English as Þunor and in Old High German as Donar, stemming from a Common Germanic *Þunraz.Vadderung isn't a precise word but it comes back in Germanic as 'shifting, transferring" as well as Hereditary or inheritance. So Thor's likely... or Thor's son. I still see a mesh up of Greek into Norse mythos. An inheritance happened there somewhere the same as Hecate=Fae hierarchy.
What it makes me wonder is why SI is so gross as to keep a blood-stained doll around the office. I mean, biohazard much?Plus this was actually the beginning of Rudolph being a tardstick. I blame the thing that was stuck using Snoopy as it's greatest mirror image in reality, so he slowly bled into Rudolphs personality.
Yeah. I think that was where he was going. Once we finish the series and get familiar with what exactly is a Foo Dog, an Ice Demon from the Land of Dreams, and Mouse's semidivine heritage, we will get an appreciation for exactly the metaphysical something that may have been going on between the puppy mouse and the stained Snoopy. Something that is a bit more than met the eye.... what your saying is mouse used divine thaumaturgy to attack the creature behind the Loops power by attacking his simulacrum? Cause that'd be funnier than just attacking an old scent trail.
He may have been deriving some absorbing some powers, though slight during that process. You are what you eat. And Mouse was drooling and chewing on dried Loup Garou blood.
Oh was that how Morgan was supposed to have killed someone? I don't even remember. Who did he kill?Are you ok Groinkick...?
Morgan was a warden and therefor trusted with security. I wonder if a non warden/Council member killed a wizard it would matter? I mean if Harry Dresden was gunned down by Marcone would the Council do anything? I doubt it. So if someone who wasn't given the duty of protecting the Council killed a member I wonder if the Council would respond the same way?
They probably only care if you kill someone of importance.. Senior Council members, or something like that.
Id always put down that statement that Amoracchius was vulnerable on Demonreach during CD, from Murphy, as either a)An extension of how the Swords seem to be very Subjective regarding when, where, and against whom they may be used, or b) Murphy was simply incorrect in her impression, or at least in her interpretation of whatever feeling/guidance that she may have been getting in her self-appointed capacity of Sword-keeper.Oh was that when that was? I always associated it with the Walker being the direct threat. Outsiders certainly threaten freedom's and Michael could engage with them(being a deciding factor in the victory) in PG to save the council members.... for almost the same reason if you can imagine that.
Oh sure Im quite confident the Powers it is connected to is sentient (in general and especially since I think it's Mother Winter). But Groinkick was theorizing that the staff itself was sentient and specifically was a Walker doing a really good Stick Impression. The WOJ /does/ specify that the object itself, the Blackstaff, is not itself sentient. Even the Gates are more sentient than that according to at least one WOJ.That's not you thinking it's connected to MW as her walking stick is it? Cause the thing is, it's still just a stick in her hands then and she's not missing anything. Except she's rather crippled and needed it to get around, giving it something unique over her own self as well. The cosmic power inherent in it seems to me to allow her to travel vs anything she's already capable of. Something in somewhat contradiction to how Eb utilizes it... Thoughts on that one?
And harry used it to raise a zombie dinosaur. Which I been under the impression had still stained him with detectable black magic, same as his earlier run-in's with Black Magic had stained him in a detectable way.Here's a nice metaphor... Imagine a clear glass of water as someone's source of magic, this magic is effected directly by what they use it for, what they actually manifest, ect. squirting food coloring into it, say red for using fire magic, black ink for black magic, ect. well, once you squirt some ink into it the resulting alloy/mixture isn't ever gonna look quite the same even if you start dumping white out in to try an balance it... imagine the best you could hope for after a time is a deep purple.
And stabbing a Senior Council Member in the face is punishable by death but is not Black Magic Council "Justice" is a wildly different topic.
If its the scene Im thinking of, I dont think he did (at least not in the strict subconscious Free Will sense). He was "instinctively" moving to save Mort and tripped.Yea, and Mort instinctively didn't fight it cause he knew Harry's experience and power was greater.
This was always something of a point of debate on that: whether there was any qualitative difference in the Energies behind the Ectomancy that Mort does and actual Necromancy.I'd say absolutely... but it does start to get a bit nuanced in it's reasoning and intention. Like Stu surviving longer intact basically because of his purpose towards a part of life, his familial connections... Something eerily similar to the Rent paid elsewhere and the balances kept as well.. That's why I use the logic of the yin-yang and Bagua design literally everything started as wuji, one state, then yin-yang which spins the five elements out into the 8 manifestations(Mountain, Ocean, ect) into the 64 variations and so on. Which a cross with a nice mythos, I think Maori or somewhere close, that states basically the same thing except that all things that exist in the light exist first as shadows in the endlessly dividing darkness that seeks to reform as one state/being,whom I also cross here with Cronus/Chronos as well as the mentioned Slowest Terror/Hunter of Shadows. It sets a nice frame work so it doesn't boggle me to think about, and is not at all inaccurate in most ways. It's just finding what he actually did with the idea.
