Keep in mind this is the same description used for the hexxenbelts, Mantles, ect. Insulation. I think it's all insulation, and all from the same things, spiritual entities.

I totally would. I'd be surprised of Eb knows all the tricks it can do FOR Mother Winter.
Kindler:
Could the Blackstaff itself be the conduit to black magic? Meaning, if it is destroyed, could all access to it be closed permanently? Assuming it's tied to the Outside, the Blackstaff may have existed as long as the Gates—as Gungnir, for instance—passed down from guardian to guardian. If black magic comes from Outside, as many have hypothesized on this forum, then it may be the reason wizards and others can tap into it at all. Like a Yin/Yang; you have to have a little Black inside the White, if you catch my meaning.

-.- nobodies allowed to say that but me lol. yin yang represents pretty much all of creation in the DF, right down to the original divides between existence and non existence, which then became layered excessively. (ying and yang into greater and lesser, 4 majors into the 8 elemental manifestations down into the 5 elements themselves.) DR is the little black dot that is at the center of our world... Angels perhaps are the White dot in the black... Think about their existence on Archangel level, multiple galaxy destruction, only dips toe into our sandbox, pancake existence. both are beyond space and time, ergo outside, even if not outside existence in the critical sense everyone seems to get stuck on(variations, VARIATIONS!), mordite is an example in extreme of the idea of NOTHING being too simply translated.

Depends on your perspective.
On the one hand, it does not actually let you do anything at all that you could not already do (other than summon a really cool stick made of black smoke, I guess); there is no power boost or additional special abilities granted.
On the Other Hand, it lets you do ALL THE BLACK MAGIC without having to worry about turning your psyche into swiss cheese from what amount to the spiritual equivalent of Brain Damage. If you're already down that swiss cheese road it's probably not going to give you much you didnt already have. Im not sure it would have any appeal to your Kemmlers or Cowls, for example.
