DF Spoilers / Re: Warden of Demonreach: Dragoncon lore-dump or retcon??!?
« on: September 25, 2024, 08:29:58 PM »
On that same note, could the coins be imprisoned on the island? (You may've already discussed--I've been in and out of discussions lately)

Thanks--B

DF Spoilers / Re: Carlos and Chandler's mentors

Odd, I feel the opposite, I predict that in Mirror Mirror Harry will rescue and return with him and the White Council won't trust him because of it. Thus Chandler will also be kicked not only out of the Wardens but the White Council as well.  This will allow him to join Harry and fill the role left vacant by the retirement of Michael, imprisonment of Thomas, and rejection of friendship by Carlos.

I like this train of thought. Harry could build a new council of wizards when all is said and done.

Not sure about WoJ. My gut still says Chandler is a bad guy and that Drakul didn't send him to a bad place. I mean, really. Why waste a wizard level talent by sending them to nothingness when you could turn him into a Blampire?

I bet if we actually find out who his mentor was, it'll track back to someone who will be revealed to be black council.

Guess I nodded off and ended up in the NN for a bit. Or maybe, someone figured something out and was silenced.

Cheers, All!

DF Spoilers / Skin Game
« on: January 16, 2024, 02:59:56 AM »
Just saying it outloud:

When Butters meets Nic in front of Michael's house and the Sword of Faith becomes a lightsaber---Just WOW! The whole scene and really, the whole evolution of Butters is a wonderful part of the Dresden Files. Remember when Thomas described him as a coward? As much as we have a cast of supporting characters in DF, Butters has really grown more than any other character, I think--except maybe Toot.

Anyway--Cheers---Just needed to say it outloud!

Good times!

DF Spoilers / Re: "Hooded one" is hood. Odin is Cowl.
« on: November 29, 2023, 03:34:42 PM »
If this follows as true, then Cowl/Odin performing the Darkhallow was meant to regain his godhood.

Reminds me a bit of Gaiman's American Gods. Won't spoil it, but there's that scene...

I still think Chandler doesn't smell right.

Drakul just makes him fall into a portal to elsewhere/nowhere rather than kill him for food or a new recruit? Bad guy.

I thought it was from another magic user as well.

What is a Starborn? Definitely been waiting to hear about this one.
What makes Malcolm Dresden a Good man according to Eb?
Yes to the rest--Cowl, etc.

DF Spoilers / Question
« on: June 16, 2023, 02:27:59 PM »
While we wait for another story, I thought I'd ask this: What are your top few things you look forward to learning the answers to from all the various topics we've discussed since this forum began?

DF Spoilers / Names
« on: April 23, 2023, 05:52:43 PM »
Just was reading something else and the name, Shiro, came up. It means White. Looked up Sanya, it means Defender of Man, and Michael, who is like or resembles God.

I'm guessing many knew this already, but I thought it was kinda cool.

I mean, Harry says Names are important and have power.

DF Spoilers / Re: The Archive (Mechanics)
« on: April 23, 2023, 04:36:42 PM »
The Archive reminds me of the Bene Gesserit from Dune. I wonder if there's ritual magic that could transfer the Archive's knowledge from one to another.

DF Spoilers / Re: Master of the Future? The Fugitive...
« on: March 14, 2023, 06:32:47 PM »
I get the feeling the Cowl is Harry--Mirror Harry. He's got a magical duster (his Cloak and cowl) and a dog--Mouse's shadow. Feels kinda obvious to me for whatever reason. And Nameless is just Nameless.

Nope. I don't have any evidence to back any of it up. Just my gut...which has been wrong before. lol

DF Spoilers / Re: Magic bullets
« on: December 31, 2022, 04:04:15 AM »
Harry charges his rings by punching a heavy bag - are you going to put the bullet in his gloves to charge it up? The propellant in the case has a surprising small amount of kinetic energy - an actual 9 mm bullet is under a third of an ounce. Even Harry's 44 is about a half ounce.

Yeah, the movies mislead most people about the kinetic energy transfer of the bullet (i blame actors, I am with Drax on this) Jim gets this right with Harry’s shield and Duster. The rings absorb kinetic energy from normal movement, they just need to ride around in a pocket for long enough. Speedier recharge is the punching bag.

IDEA-- RE:Harry's inlaid spells on his duster...he rewrites them so that the kinetic energy absorbed is then transferred to some magical foci and redirected towards a foe. We've seen him redirect incoming magics (incoming from the left to redirected with the right? Entropy curse and frozen turkey meet blampire) Just thinking on the fly here. Seems there are tons of things Harry could be doing with the kinetic energy stuff--charging up magic bullets, using the incoming kinetic energy absorbed by his duster to regen his electric ca..uh..hmmm)

Thanks for all the chat on this one. Fun stuff!
