[CD Spoils] Golden Light

<< < (2/6) > >>

madness:
Maybe the golden white light represents faith magic on some fundamental level, not just WG related magic?

Normally Harry's use of faith magic is limited to powering his amulet against supernatural beings. 

The confrontation in his mind with Sharkface is sort of the first moment that Harry finally accepts and embraces his duty and his purpose in the greater scheme of things.  Starborn, Warden, Winter Knight, Uriel's champion, etc.

So maybe the light symbolized some internal power.

My vote is Starborn power, but backed by Soulfire. I don't think Soulfire is any sort of Kryptonite for Outsiders at all, but I think for a Starborn, it's still a multiplier.

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

I also think Harry influences soul fire he begins to understand it.  In CDs when he was freeing himself from Mother Winter's bonds, it became something different.  It was no longer as Harry put it something to add to a spell as a power boost, but something from with in him, him or if you will his soul.. Since the staff is an extension of his power, yeah I can see soul fire being a part of that.

I thought since the light was creating snowflakes the whiteness was his winter power. Harry hasn't found his faith yet. Not that he couldn't. Harry using faith magic is seen in FM, But i think unknown to harry his symbol actually represents the goddess who gave humans magic (think its an eygptian myth?) to do with it what he believes its for, a tool for humans against the greater powers. I say this is likely because I'm pretty sure the goddess is who made an appearance in SF to calm Harry. When harry starts using faith magic we'll know.

  Against Bianca in SF he did use a kind of faith magic, it saved his life.  He said at the time that the reason a Cross works against a vamp is a person's faith.  He said he has faith in his magic and he used his pentacle in the same way as a Cross.
