Reforging a Mantle + My cup is full [CD Spoilers]
aShorty21:
I like this thought I copied from TheCuriousFan. The idea that Harry has gained some abilities from the Wild Hunt. My thought would be he would of gained even more than Thomas since he led the thing and was more than just a member.

--- Quote from: Proven Guilty Chapter 39 ---He gritted his teeth and shook his head. "Since last year... since the Erlking... I've had... intuitions, maybe? Maybe just instincts. I can feel things in the air better now than before. I think the Wild Hunt is coming toward us. I think a lot of things are coming toward us."

A sense for the Wild Hunt and some general instincts + maybe better senses depending on how you read the feel things in the air line.

I just worked something out. Mantles can't be changed until Halloween night. That's when the immortals come out and add & subtract bits of their Mantles.
So we might want to pay attention to that period of time. The Winter mantle certainly makes him enjoy the battle more than normal, but until he went one on one with Maeve he seemed mostly himself.
So maybe it wasn't until then that Harry started to take control of the mantle & make it his own.

That's not quite true. On Halloween Mantles can be changed, but that is not the only time.

What other time are you talking about? Bob only mentioned Halloween as a time when a mantle can undergo change in its nature. Yes, the Winter Knight mantle can be handed off any any time of the year, but we are talking about changing the nature of the mantle & maybe permanently fusing it with the mantle of the Warden.
Yes, there might be other conjunctions where an immortal can be killed, such as the stone table, but changing the nature of a mantle might be limited to that particular date.
When Lily got the mantle of the Summer Lady it wasn't changed. The change I'm thinking of, is like Odin making the mantle of Santa Claus. One that didn't exist prior. That was more of a fundamental change, than just swapping vessels.

I suspect it depends on the nature of the mantle. if im even 10% right about how Mab's works, its allways changing as the database updates itself with new potential futures. lesser mantles may be static but anything that complex is either self referencing or downright self aware.
