so only 'special' people can commit murder?
I guess I'm not seeing how what Murphy did in those situations was 'supernatural'. She was being a friend/mentor/leader, but that's who/what she is.
raidem:
I could see Murphy's proximity and influence on Harry, a Starborn, placing similar influence upon Murphy.
There is WOJL that Harry heavily influences those around him, there might be a similar but opposite force going the other way around. Or, something being bestowed upon those he influences to become some sort of mini Starborn, not quite but I think you get the idea.

I'm talking about Changing immortals, chaffing on allies in supernatural ways metaphysically tied into such mundane things as metaphorically applied in real life.
She was Judging and Choosing, because that's what she is. It's applied again and again, and in those situations where she tries to do so when it's not her place she inevitably fails.
Same as Saying Harry's meant to be a destroyer.. certainly there are others' but they aren't Harry Dresden.

okay, sure, go with it. For me, she was being a friend, nothing supernatural required.

Yea, great thing about being written on multiple levels huh? Enjoy all the Woj's about unintended consequences of hanging around Harry, him Naming things. Immortals being unchanging(and hey, Pucks not an Imm... oh, yea? He IS?) and how Nemesis can't mess with Angels because they are too absolute but Harry nicknaming Uriel scared the hell out of him, ect, ect. Sure, yea, i'll go with it all the way.
