So to apply it to Mac, he has to remain out to sideline something else.

Aah, you are refering to how Psylocke had the Shadow King trapped in a mental prison that denied her use of her psychic powers. And, you think Mac might be in a similar situation.

raidem:
Yep.

I'd forgotten that happened. Yea, I've realized the idea of 'the prison' is something that has been redone inside every mythological generation in the Dresden verse. On an angelic balance scale He could, much as Uriel, force another's stalemate by not acting himself(ergo even if they could conceivably act it's considered a 'cheat' allowing rebuttal directly). A defensive strategy to be sure... Hell, we KNOW angels can transubstantiate into a mortal vessel, Mac?
*sigh* and yea (click to show/hide)I DO see a possibility Mac is therefore relatable to that one Angel/grace theory I don't believe has signifigence in the DV. Far more likely his goes to something grander imo.

That is actually very, very interesting. Effort might be necessary, too. It could explain why he doesn't talk much; he's concentrating on something else. And don't forget that he seems to recover from a gutshot within an hour—once he's unconscious, and his control slips.

Side note: check out "Legion," if you haven't already. It's not faithful to the comics, really, but it's fun as hell. Jemaine Clement is in it, too, and has a pretty awesome scene conducting a psychic remix of the song "Bolero," which was suitably awesome.
