Here is something else I found interesting: He spun, eyes surrounded by white, his face was scarlet
Earlier: His face was red. Too red. The veins stood out sharply in his head, his neck. And the ground was shaking.
I'm not positive but it makes me curious if something else is going on here. Jim did say that all the Senior Council members have a secret power that nobody knows about. I'm wondering if this is a hint of what Eb's secret power is. Kind of like the Hulk rages out, if Eb loses it, this destructive ability will manifest, as Harry found out.
