I don't know if it's related to his being a WC Vampire but if I recall correctly,..... was it Back Up?...where he does use his pentacle necklace to track Harry...anyone want to back me up or dispute this?

Thomas holds a small amount of magic. In White Knight he is able to find an exit from the Never Never and open it (strip club I think). But, it doesn't really matter since Ebenezer points out that Mavra could have thrown a Death Curse at Harry...and she's definitely not human...or alive.

Uh oh! Wizard Nelson has acquired a parasite! :-)
I see what you are talking about but I've not seen any textual references that convince me it's credible. I'll remain open to the possibility and will be looking for bits in the next several books when/if Maggie actually shows up again.

Arianna's one word is more likely to be soething like 'don't' in Maya as Harry raises his right hand to finish her off (which is what he does).
If we had any evidence for Arianna knowing anything about transfer spells, for the RC spirit transferring too etc I'd go for it as an interesting theory. But at present there's nothing I'm aware of to give it weight.

Your comment got me thinking about the dreams that went out into the world to pregnant women when the curse was released. That's kind of interesting from a "conception" point of view relative to Arianna.

Well actually:
--- Quote ---Well, no, but he [Bob] said that Lash got, obtained free will.
Yeah, Bob doesn’t have to tell the truth to Dresden! (Laughter) I mean, come on! Bob offered it as a possible explanation, but you know, Bob’s essentially…he’s a theoretician. That’s what he does… ‘Explain this’ , ‘Okay, maybe it was this, I don’t know.’ But yeah, he tries to stay out of the whole, anything like, anything that verges on morality, Bob tries to avoid speaking with any authority on because he doesn’t have any compass himself. It all depends on who actually happens to be in possession of the skull at the time.

Yeah...maybe. But, in Changes just before her big flattening ending as Harry is walking up to her, she is repeatedly saying "No...no...no...no..." She switches to the unrecognized single word as she realizes Harry's intent and just before the "hammer." That suggests a focus word for a prepared spell in my opinion (just in case). And since we have a potential member of the "Black Circle" (Corpestaker) using that spell as her pièce de résistance in a tight spot as well as Arianna's granddaughter working hand in hand with Mavra (who could also be associated with Corpsetaker and is, most definitely trained in necromancy), and we, also, have a Red Court vampire centuries old who happens to be a sorceress, the potential is there to have learned the spell from any number of sources.
