Questions for Jim 2012 style 2

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

I had this amazing, important, burning question to put her or ask Jim... but I forgot it.

Anyway, here's one until I can remember the other one:

The books state that Soulfire excels at creating things. How would an Ectoplasmic construct (like Kalshazzak's in Storm Front, or Harry's in Ghost Story) imbued with Soulfire differ from a normal one?

[Icecream]

If a changeling has a child before they choose, what does it make the kid?

and is harry really crazy, and the crazy linked to those headaches he was having in TC?

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

The RPG states that Ivy, in addition to everything printed out and written down, also recieves some spoken words. What does she get?

EDIT: Remembered it!

Would it be possible to create a magical device that functioned in the same manner as a computer (bearing in mind that we've seen Magic replicate cellphones with the speaking stones in Changes and two-way radios/baby monitors in Ghost Story). Could Anastasia make such a device, given her skill at crafting stuff and the fact that Computer Theory is her hobby?

You mean like what Vadderung had on his desk?

Possibly. Harry was kinda fuzzy on whether that was magic, or sufficiently advanced technology. As the Aesir aren't mortal, they don't hex.

They dont Hex, but speculation is that it was Hlidskjalf,  Odin's throne in a hall of solid silver, which lets him view all the Nine Realms.  Adding to that how funny odin seemed to find the idea that Harry thought it was a computer, Im pretty convinced it was magical

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

Seems reasonable.

Why a Winchester? Was that chosen for Harry's gun because it was cool, or is there a deeper symbolism (assuming it's actually in the book)?

Is Harry ever going to get a hat?

[Quantus]

Is there an Iceman Tribe of the Marat?

[KevinSig]

Is Harry ever going to get a hat?

And on that day, the Harry on the cover won't be wearing one.

The technology is old enough but not too old.

A tip of the hat to Supernatural ?

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

A tip of the hat to Supernatural ?

Wll played sir.

[Quantus]

A tip of the hat to Supernatural ?

Id rather it be a tip of the hat the the Winchester House personally, never did understand why that never played a role in Supernatural, while Colt did...

Licensing conflicts, probably

Jim actually answered this one already, years ago. It could be hard to find on the forum for that reason, I haven't checked. Anyway, the answer is, Ivy retains spoken words when they are intended to be a form of recorded information; that is, the oral traditions of teaching from times before writing was convenient, or spoken epics, memorized stories like fables, stuff like that. When the words being spoken are intended to be stored in the listener's memory, basically, as written words are intended to be stored on the pages of books.

Hmm, Does that mean that every time somebody is in Court, and is asked to state tehir full name /for the record/, she is getting their accurately spoken True Name?  Hot damn, she is scary...
