Maybe that'll give you something better to associate gray with.

Something extra that I would like to point out is that what ultimately happened with Lash is unique to Harry. I have said in previous topics that even if Lash hadn't committed suicide at the end of WN, she was severely fraying at the edges, and probably would have unraveled or required some recuperation anyways. I see this as possibly being due to one of two not necessarily exclusive reasons.
* A Denarian Shadow was never intended to last for as long as "Lash" had. The shear amount of time the... shadow spell spent isolated from its source caused it to weaken and start losing potency. (plus the rigors it was subjected too over that time period, but that kinda ties this reason to #2, hence the 2 not necessarily being exclusive)
* Lasciel's shadow started thinking of itself in terms of being a discrete entity that could possibly live independently of her originator. This concept was a huge identity crisis for her that frayed the very fabric of her being. This idea/reason ties pretty closely to the concepts Jacqueline Lichtenberg talks about in the article I quoted earlier.
Reason number 2 is why I don't get terribly hung up at all on the idea that Harry's accomplishment of banishing Lasciel's influence might be cheapened by claiming that the "magical prison" was the source/focus of Harry's ability to resist her at the onset. The truly amazing accomplishment wasn't the resistance itself, but the fact that Harry actually changed the shadow for the better. (that fact/conclusion is based off of the Lichtenberg comments and a WoJ saying "that Harry actually changed" Lash)
Serack:
btw wyltok, the Lash sub plot is probably my favorite topic about the DF (hence my through involvement in this discussion with you). If you haven't read it before, please take a look at my old pet lash theory reposted over here. I wrote it back in 2010, and some of the events of GS make it a little outdated, but you might still find it an interesting read.
Ms Duck:
Dont worry then lash will be back;) just not for a long while i suspect..she knows too much.
TheCuriousFan:
She's already back as of Ghost Story, and Jim has said that he can't withold the information about "power over Outsiders" from us much longer.
