What do you think? I need some help with the aspects, and I didn't include any enchanted items because I don't want to have to reread the crafting rules.
I upped Harry's social skills and gave him a couple of lore stunts to represent Lasciel's influence on him as well as hellfire, but I'm not sure what to do about his battle form. I feel like Lasciel might manifest like Anduriel, only with fire instead of shadow and not all the time, but I'm not sure that's realistic or how to write that up if so.
I also gave him Kemmlerian Necromancy and Lawbreaker (1st) because Jim has said that Lasciel would be Harry's black magic tutor if he'd taken up her coin in Changes.

Looks fine at first glance, to me.
As I recall Lasciel fights Harry in Skin Game. Can't remember what form she takes, but I'm sure if you dig that book up and look at the end it'll have something useful for you.

She just makes Hannah naked and covered in a few wisps of purple mist. Didn't really seem to suit Harry.
Do you have any aspect suggestions? I want to include something about his friends and family, but Jim has said that Lasciel would work to isolate him, so I'm not sure what to say about them.
Also, as an alternative to allowing you to specify a second target for thaumaturgy done with the mirror, do you think it would work for it to let you gain shifts equal to your conviction without having to roll to control it (sort of doubling your innate power, rather than the power of the entire ritual)?

MORE AND MORE ALONE, then?

Pretty sure this was meant for the other thread, but anyway. I guess that could work. Honestly, though, I'm not a fan of the whole "you're overpowered until you get screwed over" paradigm.

Yeah. Lasciel really wasn't impressive in that book.

Thanks! Also, can you help me figure out how to phrase the concept of "I'll protect you even if you hate me" in a way that sounds good for an aspect?
And what do you think of "Dubiously Necessary Evil"?

Yes, it was.
