Denarians and White Council
knnn:
Actually, here's a thought:
One of the exceptions to the rules is the Blackstaff. One of the big reasons this is possible is because the Blackstaff is able to shield the user from the corruption effects that come from breaking (at least some of) the Laws.
So what if the Coins offer a similar kind of protection? Sure the cost is your eventual free will, but the fact that the user won't go batshit crazy from Black Magic corruption might be enough that the Council is willing overlook the legal aspects of breaking the laws under a "other Accords signatory" loophole.

Erm, but would the council know this? Looking at it that way, I'm not so sure a black staff is any different from a dingy coin, because of how I perceive the staff to work. (click to show/hide)It could be death itself bound. That a farmer has it and our current variant of death wields a scythe as it's weapon of ultimate power seems a funny metaphor, if nothing else.Yes, I like it though, it implies the WC are more aware of what the denarians are and why they exist than we the reader are.

I don't see why it would. The Fallen in the coins would want their host to be more OK with breaking the laws and killing folks. Lash kept poking Harry's internal muderrage button, for instance.
And a foaming-at-the-mouth wizard is probably easier to subsume and control than one who has all his wits about him.

Yea, sure. If she's willing to abandon the walls. But if those troops don't count towards the balance with summer out there, I imagine completely unbalancing it by trying to use them elsewhere would be one of the triggers for Aurora to pull them both into oblivion. So it's about as much of a weapon as DR is for Harry as far as usage beyond it's designated purpose. plus apparently (click to show/hide)Those supplies of troops don't just replenish themselves, that takes time in the mortal world to be birthed and grow to age. Which I agree with Molly on, gotta be a more effective method. Odin using warriors 'reborn' for instance.
