Actually I think he would be good at any kind of magic if he believed he would be.  Belief is huge in the casting of magic in the Dresdenverse. 

2
He says in several of the books or several times in the same one he is very good at Thaumaturgy.  IE making blasting rods, staffs, armored coats, energy rings, shield bracelets and finding things!  That is Harry's specialty!

I believe it was the NYC book signing that Jim mentioned he was going to have to write a short story about Kincaid returning to ivy after killing Harry.  I am pretty sure Kincaid pulled the trigger. I don't think it was an accident he hit the chest either!

He is talking about Susan killing him and becoming a person who is familiar but not really.  Her transformation into a full blood red court vampire!

Actually Harry says in one of the later books he is in the top 12 or 13 in sheer raw magical power.  You have to remember that most of the White Council has sat in relative peace since the Seelie accords were signed.  They do not go out and seek trouble so they will gain in experience much slower.  It has been said in many of the books that Harry has faced more things in his short time than most wizards 100 years his senior.  If you use the RPG system that they developed and chart the experience he has gained in each book it is downright spooky.  He may not be as refined as the Senior Council but I bet he could hold his own against anyone off the senior council.  There is a player on the rpg section of this board who has done stats for all the main characters including Harry.  His Harry is set after a certain book then he adds info at the end up to changes.

Whoops messed up the quotes...

LOL. So much input on the relationship front.  I don't think Harry will end up with either Molly or Karrin.  I am pretty sure he will end up with Lash.  

I know it seems like a stretch but hear me out.  Bob said that Lash took a piece of Harry's soul.  We know Harry was rewarded for turning down a fallen angel with soulfire.  It is not unreasonable to assume that Lash was also given a reward.  Remember Harry has free will and was able to make a choice.  Lash is a shadow of Lasciel and has a nature.  She rebelled against her nature, the nature of a Fallen Angel. I  think she will be rewarded with the gift of being human.  Though it is possible she has become an angel and is the one truly sponsoring Harry's soulfire!

I would also like to add that Harry as the Winter Knight amplifying his own power plus the sponsored soulfire has to be close to the same power as that of the senior council.   I doubt that many off the senior council would be much of a match for Harry!

The white council needs Molly.  Their training in defensive mental magic is sub par at best.  I suspect that she is well ahead of 90% of the White Council in defensive mind magic.  Hell, she lasted way longer against Corpse-taker than either Harry or Lucio ever managed.

Read the Luccio stuff she tells Harry everything about them!  I have read the series at least 6 times and listened to audio once.  I am sure of my facts... Not to mention I would never post without rereading. I concede that it could be color in that post as well, however I am positive it is referring to the material and color.  That might be a ask Jim question.  My theory is it would be redundant to refer to it as silver over and over again unless it was going to be important later on.  The Material it is made of would seem a more important fact than it being just a description of color.

Jim goes into very great detail about Warden Swords in the books.  Can't remember what book it is but it is very specific and repeated in many of them.  I do recall them being referred to as "silver sword of the Wardens"  Dead Beat, chapter 39. 

Captain Luccio  explains to Harry about Warden swords in White Knight!   Check out Chapter 22 of White Knight if you want to know why. That will explain everything without me posting spoilers! I can state that they are definitely not mass produced and it is very unlikelyt for them to be inherited.

Whoops wrong topic!

I loved looking at your take on the characters.  Though I think I would add an Aspect for Ancient Mai.  I would add the aspect "Dresden has a Foo dog".  This aspect could be good or negative depending on how you want to use it.

I know you don't normally add aspects for small events, but I am pretty sure the small comment she makes in Turn Coat is gonna be huge later in the books.  I am also very confident that here opinion of Harry Dresden has changed and may influence her actions later in the series.  She is the creator of the Foo dog statues and there is a reason she modeled them after a Foo dog.
