Dark influences on Harry

--- Quote from: DragonEyes on March 24, 2012, 07:27:11 PM ---I think the trials are mostly a formality because the Warden's testimony is so absolute, but they are still a formality. If a Warden wants to kill a warlock he can say whatever he needs to to be able to do it.

I believe that there is supposed to be a trial, but that when a Warden says "The Warlock was killed while resisting arrest" everyone just nods and called it a clean shot.

Yes, this is precisely what I had intended to convey... errr... what he said.

In case you want to add this.

I'll add that one later, I'm working on adding stuff to the nightmare reference atm, but I think that might be a great one for this :)
HistoryDave:
The dark influences have been a double edged sword. It is a sword that harry has walked the edge of and on more than one accasion he has overbalanced into the darkness. His dance on the razor's edge has made him strong. Strong enough to resist incredible temptations.
He has drifted into red light saber territory, as detailed in the original post and on other instances. He has also resisted temptation to grasp power more extensively and more consistently than most if not all mortals. I do not think the Harry Dresden of Storm Front could have resisted the calls of Laschiel in DB and certainly not (click to show/hide)Maeve in CD.
There is evidence Harry has been groomed as a weapon, and some of this grooming has made him darker and "stained". It has also forged him like a sword. A magical sword with a high ego, able to assert his own will and defy anyone who would subvert that will. Harry's story is the balancing act between the light and the dark. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
wizard nelson:
maybe this was brought up alreadt but did anyone else notice
(click to show/hide)hwwb lead harry into committing his first magical violence? specifically against an evil being messing with mortal life? seems fishy, a set up...
lea also comments to harry how hard it is to get young talents to believe in magical violence when talking about justin. a double meaning? was harry manipulated into laying the smack down on magical bad guys? he's pretty much been doing just that ever since..
