Reference: X compared to Y = possible Discrepancy?

I saw it more like he dug a hole within the already placed circle, tossed in Lasciel, filled the hole, activated the circle, and then left it there. IIRC, he never mentions using the circle in his basement post-burying the coin.

Lol. Most of the info from my post on that comes from a topic discussing exactly that. Gime a min and I'll find it.

here it is.

P.S. I'll probably be moving this topic to the reference child board soon.

but that thread began meandering around page 2/3...
I do see that the issue has come up.
I'm curious when Harry will use... 'superior' (maybe a bad choice of words) geometry. or more better geometry 8)
WoJ has discussed how mages dont really gain more power as much as they get more efficient in its use.
Harry wastes a lot of energy... making a circle is simple. but a circle makes a cylinder. What if Harry began using spheres?
I'm thinking over-circle kinda thing. Or begins using over-spheres.. extending into dimensions perpendicular to {x,y,z}. forward/backward in time... alternate universes/timelines... the NN...
Sorry if I'm not making any sense... I have Flatland on the brain. (excellent book btw... highly recommend it)
knnn:
There was a thread a while back about "how high up do circles go"? Note that everyone we see (e.g. Kincaid, Butters) all seem to create the same type of cylinder, so it is not obvious what "physical law" is causing this or how the height of the cylinder is chosen. Maybe everyone in the DV has seen Star Trek transporter beams?
...or better yet, in the DV Gene Roddenberry was actually on to something (like Stoker/Lovecraft). Remember that WoJ is that an upcoming book named "Mirror Mirror" is a strong possibility.
