I think the perfect example is Lea.  She became infected.  She was compromised.  But Mab took the time to heal her, even though there will always be a chance she could relapse.

In the same scenario, the Council would have killed her.

I think that's the difference between what Merlin would do, and what has become policy for his organization.  I think he would prefer saving people.

The staff apparently feeds on the taint of black magic, I wonder if it could feed on sources of black magic like necromancy or outsiders. So the black staff could have at least partial immunity from the effects of nemesis.

Phariah:
I like this question from the OP. I can see it as going a couple ways. one of course is harry as he becomes like a balance for magic as a Starborn meant to hold back the Outsiders. he will need to be vicious, using black magic so this helps him. (imho I say Harry comes up w/ a way to fight the taint on his own , not needing the Staff. but, I think Harry's Winter link might be a deciding factor possibly.) the other would be either Ramirez or Chandler. Harry will need allies strong enough to fight by his side. giving either would be of a major help. especially since losing the Staff would most likely mean Eb's death imho. don't like LTW would be a good choice. he has major issues and wouldn't fit him imho. although giving it to the Gatekeeper would be sweet. turbo charging a top ally would rock.

kazimmoinuddin:
Say nemesis needs black magic for some reason, so it potentially becomes vulnerable to that same energy. The whole you can't protect yourself from your own energy thing. Harry using the Blackstaff could turn the power against the bad guys.

^ yup.
this is why I hope he gets some type of epiphany that helps him leave mab and give him some type of resistance to the taint. doing so gives the opportunity to boost and ally, by giving them the Staff. Harry will need support imho.
