During the first attack Harry hadnt even been officially hired. Then at the party, when she learns of the attack, Justine says something like, 'I thought you didnt have to worry about Mavra'. Then, during the attack outside the movie studio, the MavraPuppet talks about Thomas as 'the one who betrayed us.'

I had been thinking of all that as Mavra having a beef with the White Court in general over the Stokerlypse rather than Thomas in particular, and doesn't Mavra, during that attack, characterise Thomas, Lara and Inari all by their relationships to Lord Raith, suggesting he's the one she sees as her actual target ?

That was my impression, too. And the fact that Lord Raith sent Thomas to Bianca's in Grave Peril (with the hopes of his demise) and keeping himself safe (due to his affliction ala Maggie Sr) seems to back that up...since Mavra was a guest of that party.

I think roman is more likely. Arthur is more late roman than Middle Ages.

--- Quote from: GrandPanjandrum on December 19, 2012, 03:04:28 PM ---I think operating a wizard while you're dead is probably kind of a hinderance. The most obvious example of this would be the Darkhallow. The strength of the recipient gains more and more power by absorbing (or eating) the power of others. It results in the human residents within a five mile radius having their life pulled right out of them into the recipient as well. It seems to me that there is a definite relationship between life and magical power.
suggest that Mavra was a real powerhouse before she was turned to the Black Court.

Raises a good point, becuse others have reported that jim said that white court wizards are weaker then mortal wizards and the Black court is the most magical of the three major courts, while im still inclined to belive that the black court might be inherently more effective at magic then mortals, however harry does doubt that kemmler techniques would apply to mavra so assuming hes correct if this was her specialty in life it makes sense she would have been weakend upon being turned.
