--- Quote from: Quantus on September 20, 2012, 05:55:48 PM ---very true. Matters of faith are so completely alien to what he is that he really has no comprehension of most of it. That part of why I think there is a whole lot more to Soulfire than what Bob told harry it does

right you are Quantus right you are

--- Quote from: the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh on September 20, 2012, 05:35:37 PM ---These are datapoints for the intellectus capacities of archangels, but do not sfaict lock down what mere angels, Fallen or otherwise, have available in that direction.
I think Bob's knowledge has some clearly defined limitations that we can reasonably well map from the text and use as metrics for how much he is likely to know on any given subject. He does not know about Tera West in FM; he's dead wrong about figuring out how the Nightmare got through the threshold, early in GP; more to the point of the current discussion, he is explicitly either unwilling or unable to talk much about matters related to angels and Fallen in DM.

I got the impression that he didn't want to talk about the fallen, rather than didn't know about them. He seemed rather terrified when Harry described Ursiel's glyph and described the archangels as being too important to not know about. It was the Shroud of Turin that Bob couldn't sense due to faith being 90 degrees from knowledge.

Another question, just an idle curiosity thing mostly,
If Harry had had the presence of mind to throw a Death Curse, would that have caused problems for him re: meeting Jack, and setting the plot of Ghost Story in motion? Or would it have progressed the same, + changes from the affects of his curse?

She must have been bored out of her mind in the billions of years spiders didn't exist then.

Depending on when the angels were created. Non Dresden cannon, but I think it isn't until the rise of Christianity that the Fallen are discussed. So its possible that The Fall from heaven happened within the period of human existence.
So it might be feasible that Lashiel's creation happened after spiders arose.
