Will Harry get back to basics?

He's certainly got plenty of diamonds now. I've been thinking about all that potential diamond dust, and how it'd be just like Harry to grind up something that valuable to make some magic doodad.
RobReece:
My guess is that Jim will continue to make Harry's shield something that is always subject to failing, otherwise it would make him too safe and Jim doesn't like a 'safe' Harry.

The bracelets have two major weaknesses. The first is they are like a car engine. Pushed too hard they overheat and break apart. The second is Harry's focus which can be weakened by any number of things. The shield bracelet is a really cool tool that can save your life, but by no means some over powered thing that makes the wizard immune to all attacks.

that's what I was saying, I think that something like a kinetic reservoir for his shield will not be in the works, because it would make his shield too powerful.
Bacchus:
a spell to siphon excess energy off the shield into a ring or other object would probably make the shield charms more complex and probably need more energy.
Ive wondered about a 2 stage shield charm.
1st stage only for bullets and weaker physical objects and takes very little energy.
2nd stage protects from absolutely everything and takes huge energy.
about the rings, they were insanely useful i doubt Jim will do it but honestly Dresden should sew 30 of the triple rings onto his duster somewhere. no reason to have just the staff spell
harry can take out only so many guys in a given time period with his own magic before he passes out, stuff like the rings that lets him take out extra guys is always great. on that note he needs some guns, Dresden could handle the recoil on and conceal some huge guns. id say conceal one powerful revolver for beasts and something like a glock 19 for people maybe some grenades and larger guns for battles
Ive always hated how much of a glass cannon Dresden is, if he goes about openly it would be very easy for him to die in a surprise attack from a few guys with scoped rifles.
to make him tougher id say he needs enchanted boots and shin protection, enchanted vest, hardened vampbraces (he always blocks blows with his forearms).some type of head protection for battles at least
