Well can't argue with that!!
Warden John Marcone:
linkies, plz.
TheCuriousFan:
--- Quote ---Molly seems to be doing a lot of very-close-to-black-magic stuff. Is she getting, like, totally corrupted?
Well... what's "corrupted" mean? [laughter] Yeah, she's playing around with some nasty stuff and it's only a matter of time before that catches up to her. On the other hand, she's doing things she knew Dresden would've done if he could have done them, so it's all Harry's fault.

Mr. Death:
--- Quote from: Wizard H on February 11, 2012, 01:27:16 AM ---Plus, why would Lash want Dresden suicidal?
--- End quote ---
She wouldn't. She'd want him to survive. Which he wouldn't do if he couldn't save Maggie. And he'd have a hard time doing that with his spine broken (for one thing, Chichen Itza probably isn't ADA accessible; way too many stairs).
The seven words weren't, "This is your fault, so kill yourself." If Lash is doing the whispering, the intention was probably more along the lines of guilt tripping him into getting more power--preferably through her, but if not, keeping himself alive means she survives either way.
She probably either didn't see the suicide coming, knew that it wouldn't work, or didn't have enough power to talk him out of it without making it obvious she was still around.
kalten:
According to Ghost Story, however, once a practitioner dies, their power is limited to the ability of whatever new body they inhabit, which was why Corpsetaker wanted Mortimer when she switched with Luccio she was still alive. Cowl took DuMorne because he was the stronhest available body.
It would have been easy, too - the Council has only just now given more than cursory attention to defense against mind attacks/possesion.
