--- Quote from: Quantus on July 21, 2017, 04:57:57 PM ---OK, i went to find the context of this (in my opinion unrelated) quote you are basing your theory on. It wasnt Uriel that said it, it was Mab, who said in response to Harry's What has he done to me: “That is a question only you can answer. But I can say this much: He has given you the potential to be more of what you are.”
In other words, he's given you Power. But the same statement could refer to Knowledge or any other sort. Nothing there says that Magic and Soul are the same thing, or even really comes close. It just says that Harry was given the possibility to Grow.
Now, if you want to argue that The Angels did all that initial Creation via Soulfire, and since Soulfire is based on Soul ALL REALITY is really just Soul, including all Matter and Every Energy...Well I cannot refute that, but it's a little like saying lead and gold are the same this because they are both made of protons...not false, but not true enough to be applied that way in any practical sense (short of star trek replicators I guess)

Na I just got this theory the body is the generator of life with the soul as the fuel. (I guess it wasn't uriel, my bad, like I said, haven't even cracked a butcher book in almost a year.) I notice without one Butters soul starts to fade too. When harry uses all his magic his physical energy suffers, when Harry uses up a bit of his soul Bob tells harry to go generate more by living... hell that's more of a connection than i'd thought of before. to generate more soul you live life, magic IS a distillation of life... I think that's better than I had before. shows a direct association between living and having soul, the connection between magic and life is of course spelled out everywhere.
You always know the right questions Q ;)

So... Cowl's identity, then?

Yea... sorry, didn't mean to jack your thread there. Still, I find discussions flow more smoothly if you don't try to transfer them half way through. Unless it's more than two trying to discuss a separate topic vs random tangent played to it's end between two peeps.
DonBugen:
Honestly, I think that if Cowl isn't a future Dresden, then he must be an unknown-yet-important person. Aside from McCoy, I can't think of anyone else that's really putting off a "more than they seem" vibe... but then again, I always believed that Maeve was exactly what she seemed, and that all fell apart.
Edit: OK, not true - Andi also is putting off a "more than they seem" vibe. But in Andi's case, it's more of an "I'm partially paralyzed" or "I suffered brain damage" vibe than an "I'm a secret dark lord" vibe.
jonas:
;D I think almost everybody has that 'more than they seem vibe'. Can't name a major character that isn't either seen from our perspective or from Harry's perspective as shifty eyed or playing something closer to the chest than they say. Except maybe Micheal, but he don't count, he's practically a saint.
