Outsider Magic

jamescagney22:
So Vittorio Malvora and to some extent Lord Raith have used Outsider magic but how it is used varies differently, enhancing the formers power, and removing magic on the latter. He Who Walks Behind is the source for both of these so is there a reason for the contradictory powers? And on another note Cowl has been said to use Outsider magic but I cannot remember, where did he use it in White Night somewhere or is this just speculation I took as fact?

Mr. Death:
It's not contradictory any more than Harry's magic is. It's just able to do different things depending on the application, same as Harry's magic can either blow things up with fireballs or find coins lost at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

IMO all dark magic is Outsider magic.  I think Jim even suggested it but didn't want to be too specific.  I think that's why it results in corruption, and madness.

I do recall in Dead Beat that Grevane said he saw the True magic on Harry, at first I did not know what he was talking about as up to this point Harry has never encountered necromancy before, but perhaps his encounter with He Who Walks Behind, was a form of it. Or he could have been referring to his First Law infraction, or both, re-reading is always fun, you never know what you will catch again.

I assumed that had to do with the ending of Grave Peril -- when Harry, in spirit form, ate the ghost of Kravos and consumed his magic.  That seems like the closest thing to necromancy Harry did before Sue.
