Why was Molly taken to Arctis Tor?
wardenferry419:
If I have to pick a point in the series that Harry goes back in time it would have to be Changes. During the chaotic battle, someone yells Fuego. Additionally, there is the time gap after he kills Susan. My assumption is that future Harry is there to stop someone from reversing the end of the RC. Harry being Harry can't help seeing Susan one last time before she is turned. That is when he the two Harrys meet. The time lapse is the result of mental magic. Thus, Harry breaks two laws of magic. The mental magic could fall under a technicality loophole since he is only doing it to himself.

yes starshine u r correct in my take on this and while i don't actual believe this is the path that will be taken( i believe the harry's subconscious is harry time traveling theory) if it was going to happen the way it works best for me is if we view time not as a multitude of time lines but as a fixed plain. if we look at it like this then this theory whether it is mab sending harry back to retrieve the knife or the gatekeeper sending harry back is immaterial to the point which is the only way harry can go back in time is if he has already done so (or will have done so in the future, time travel makes tenses very confusing,) and he must figure out what he did but not change anything else paradox and BOOM this i y every one doesn't do it the risk out ways the profit which is none considering if u change anything u end all but if harry did it then he can do it.
Addressing the believability aspect we r talking about a book that the protagonist regularly does thing that r imposable in real life so what i say is make me belive it can happen in his world or not so long as it is a good story who cares if it is unrealistic after all it is fanatsy

Wasn't the shout of fuego a guy ordering the mercenaries to fire?
