[CD Spoils] Golden Light
Griffyn612:
So what do we think about the golden light emanating from Harry's dream-staff during the mental whammy showdown with HWWBf?
--- Quote --- I lifted my staff and golden white fire began to pour from the
carved runes as I gathered power into it.

We've seen the staff glow a variety of colors, but golden-white is a combo I don't think we've seen before, at least in the staff. There was at least one occasion that golden light emanated from the runes of his blasting rod, but as a fire magic construct, gold/yellow/red/white might be common.
The only other golden glow I could find reference too (real quick search) was a golden glow around Ammoracchius in GP, which seemed to be a natural color for it in opposition to Harry's blue wizard light.
--- Quote --- Amoracchius burst into conflicting shades of blue and golden
light, as my power wrapped around it, a coruscation of sparks
that made Mavra howl in surprise and pain.
--- End quote ---
Do we think this was a temporary thing since it was in his head? Or do we think it might be a sign of another change? Maybe some aftereffect of his death and rebirth? Or a new manifestation of soulfire, which I believe has previously been portrayed with a bluish light.
KrelianZG:
I think, given that there was, IIRC, mention of Soulfire pouring from the cracks in the ground in that conflict, it implies that the WG (or some Archangel) approves of Harry's use of Soulfire. Especially in that circumstance.
I don't think Soulfire is intrinsically linked to Harry's Starborn status, but in a mental struggle like that, I think it can help, for sure.

But the glow of Soulfire has been shown to be blue and white. The staff glowed a golden-white. That doesn't match the Soulfire we've seen him wield so far. Are you saying you think that the golden-white light was Soulfire, but backed by a higher power?
KrelianZG:
Higher Power, or Harry Power.
It was either an infusion of WG, or Starborn "energy" (whatever that is). Any other explanation is a huge stretch IMO.

I was thinking it might be a side effect of his crossing over and back. We've seen him use Soulfire, Hellfire, Winter Knight power, and his own power with a staff, and it wasn't golden. But I have a hard time believing the WG would take an active roll in things. Maybe it could have been an angel casting their lot in, but with it coming from his staff, I got the idea it was internal.
Maybe it could be this 'starborn' power. We haven't really seen him use starborn power before, so maybe his power turns golden in the presence of an Outsider.
That'd be a handy detection tool. :o
