Anyway, I would proceed with the assumption that carrying the mantle would ultimately result in a transformation as if being turn into a vampire. Your essential nature change, your free wil is gone, your soul is either departed or confined or changed.
If there is no other WOJ or reliable sources that say otherwise, it is possible that the dragon Michael defeated is still alive. Which means it is possible that Harry might have to face two dragon instead just one Farofax.

Breaking the rules is not exactly the word for it. Harry is not a reliable narrator and he thinks rather linear or often even binary even when there are clues that this is too simple a view. If you read the books again you will get some clues that things were not that simple all the time.
When someone in the books says something you must always consider his/hers/its point of view and how much knowledge this guy really has.
And he might be simplifying things a bit.

I have a feeling that this is what the Molly POV short story that is coming out will be about.
huangjimmy108:
Is there any confirmation that the original merlin is human?
The magic he perform to create the demonreach prison seems to be beyond a mortal wizard abilities. Especially if he did it alone as implied in cold days.
Do you think Sarissa becoming the summer lady will improve Titania's mood? I mean, Sarissa is her niece after all. Not her daughter but still blood.
Have anyone got the feeling that Harry is more suited for the summer knight job? I do personally think that summer fire is a much better power than winter ice. Shooting fire bolt from a distance seems to be a far better power than making popcicles.
Speaking of which, The knight job doesn't even pay cash. I was hoping Harry would stop being poor. He still have to take his paycheck from the WC. And is Monster Mobile the name of his mew car?

The knight job pays in power. Litterally.

Fire was already one of Harry's strongest abilities and that was before he was introduced to Hellfire and then Soulfire. Winter's ice is probably a much more valuable addition to his skill set.
