Who was the real target of the bloodline curse at CI?
kazimmoinuddin:
It seems the curse not only killed the rcv, but it literally unmade them. I wonder if it touched something beyond even the court, some kind of patron or progenitor that aided n the creation of them. I doubt it would have killed it, but deeply weakening or wounding it most definitely.
ticonderouga:
The bloodline curse is ritual magic, what Harry calls the cosmic vending machine, you put in the quarter and you get the result. The power raised is more to appease whatever entity was actually doing the real magic. I think Victor Sells was doing an actual spell adapted from the ritual curse so needed the thunderstorms. Just like Lord Raith's entropy curse.
Paviel:
--- Quote ---You need to capture a blood descendant for the curse to work. Maggie presented an opportunity.

I'm not sure that the White Council would be aware of that limitation (or be in such a state of mind as to care about it).
Just as Harry's reputation as a badass is overblown among the Red Court, so might have been the Red Court's reputation among the White Council.
wardenferry419:
I am sure that most if not all of the SC have descendants. All you need is one blood connection and after several hundred years of life there is bound to be one of each that can be identified and snagged.
kazimmoinuddin:
When victor sells used his curse on someone having sex, it struck that individual as well. I wonder if the power of the curse is powerful enough that if it hit McCoy in headquarters, it might hit other wizards in there, potentially any covered by the wards.
