It was not the same knife. We've pretty much identified that the one pulled from the vault was the spear-tip of the Spear of Longinus from the crucifixion. Along with the other relics on the same stand.
With the same bronze blade and leaf shaped Handle... ya can't prove it's not the same one. and fyi, all those relics are also accepted to have probably existed in a different form before being used in the Crucifixion. You can say you don't think it's the same one, but by description there is more for than against.
That's just it, based on the quote that Jim Nose/finger'd, the mantle itself didn't go into or though the table, just the power that the mantle had. And we already know that the power of the Mantle is already part of the power of winter/Mab. So there is no need for cleansing.
And it's currently in the WK, it's of her but not currently a part of her. If the mantle had gone through the table When Aurora tried it, it would have ceased to exist. What happens to a mantle(if indeed it still exists) when all it's power gets transferred across the table to something or else? it becomes an empty useless cup anyway. So moot either way.
Why yes, there's no need to use the stone table when you already possess the mantle's power in your court, UNLESS what..?
There is no evidence that Slade was nemfected. Sadistic and cruel sure, but not nemfected.
In SK we saw a transfer of a Mantle, the Summer Knight's mantel, and we didn't see any manifestation like we did of the ladies in CD.
We saw any such thing? we on screen saw any such thing?
We didn't see a manifestation of the transfer of the WK mantle to Harry either.
they did it directly not through the air, either in the act of sex or when she froze his spine back in place. Either way it's straw manning here and above, What does it matter? How does it address an issue? it don't cause we don't know jack about the table except the point I already made, it works with blood, an old primal conduit for power, not through 'manifestation'. Your taking how the mantles were on DR, which isn't the Knights mantle btw, never seen that change in real time, and saying that it applies here when i'm specifically saying here is different. there^ the conduit was blood, and I'm using YOUR OWN ASSERTION that the mantle didn't manifest otherwise to prove it was transferred through said blood as was originally meant by Aurora. The table transfers the power, not the thing itself, the power from spirit/memory, so it rips the power from the memory, ending the you are what you eat effect. Again, that's why Mab's power can come from greek Goddess's but she need's to cement her courts in human memory compared to greek legends, The memory connection was killed but the power itself was transferred...
The blood, and Live of Slade, WAS the power used and transferred. It was transferred through Mab to Harry to heal his body, thus not depleting any of Winter's power, not that that was all that much anyway.
That's inference without premise, again... Based on what? Your perceptions only yes?
Again, no evidence that the Mantle went through the table. I'll admit that it's possible that the POWER went through the table, but not the mantle itself. Read the quote that Jim agrees with.[/quote]Then what becomes the purpose of sacrifice on the stone table, what 'dies'?
Huh? A way to separate from a spirit of memory? Are you saying that Nemfection is some kind of alternate version of Bob?
Gah, I could explain it all and quote the woj how certain things like Lea are actually elemental parts of the mind and how N is tied up into the collective subconscious and shadow and how everybody has that 'mirror' in themselves and then add in the comparison to MM Harry and Harry's Subconscious and the fae queens being 'mirrors' of themselves to disallow N room to operate in reality on them, as their mirror exists here(citing first day creatures slipping into 'masks', can't slip into the 'mirror' already in existence) ect, ect. but I won't... I rather feel your trying to misunderstand some of this now...
Good Day Sir.
