Making things on DR

Sure he has a connection to the island, but the model would augement and refine them. Harry has never been one for fine control, but such a focus could let him pull off lots of little tricks.

Did she?  Sure she walked a circle, but I'm pretty sure the defensive circle was raised as an automatic response by DR.

Nope, that was a specific part of the whole scene.  It was a pre-built Ward, but it was Lily that turned it on while Maeve distracted Alfred 
--- Quote from: CD ch. 49 ---
He tested his right hand again and got a little more motion out of it before he winced. “I don’t know where this will get you,” he said, “but as far as I could tell, this was just a ritual circle, like any other.”

“How so?”

“When we landed, Maeve sent some hounds and some Little Folk after you and went straight for that lighthouse—and the guardian just popped up out of the ground, where it is now. Maeve assaulted the spirit, just like right now. She kept it busy while Lily walked a circle of the hilltop, singing. I’ve seen her set up circles like that a thousand times. But once she’d gone all the way around, kaboom, up came the wall.”

I grunted. “Then . . . it’s a preinstalled defense that can be triggered like . . . Hell’s bells, not like a ward. It is a ward. A huge one. But if anything of the island passes through the circle without disturbing it, and anything that isn’t of the island is destroyed . . .” I followed the logic through and sagged.

“What?” Fix asked.

“Then there’s no way to break the circle,” I breathed. “It’s like a time-lock safe. It isn’t coming down until sunrise.”

“Meaning what?”

I swallowed. Sunrise was too late. So I gathered whatever scraps of strength I had left in me and pushed myself slowly, wearily to my feet.

“Meaning,” I said, “we’re on our own.”

looking at his new staff on Case Files he has a spot very good for that, ask Gandalf ;)

Rasins:
Q,

So how would things have fallen out if they hadn't triggered the ward?

I know Harry and co would have had quicker access to the attacking fairies, but do you think it would have had any effect on what DR did?
