Will Harry get back to basics?

<< < (10/14) > >>

Rasins:
Thanks Q.  That's what I thought.

Kindler:
I'd imagine that Harry was able to tweak things to increase their efficiency; that seems to be the main utility of his bag o' tricks (his blasting rod and shield bracelets are foci that let him efficiently use his magic with less waste and greater precision, for example). I wouldn't be surprised if Harry was figuring out ways for the glyphs (or whatever they are) to better store and release the energy he invests in them.

What I always wanted to know was...how on earth did Harry keep track of when the spellwork ran out? Did the enchantment gradually weaken, or did it suddenly just stop working? Because if it just stops working, that's pretty bad if it crashes at a critical moment.

Man, I'd be the worst at maintaining this stuff. It's one thing if it's a weekly task, because that can become routine, but how often do I remember to change my smoke/CO2 detector batteries? (The answer is: I don't. I always forget.)

Lost Merlin:
I imagine that he can feel the effect weakening like he could feel his emergency wards coming down in DM.

I agree. He can probably feel when his gear starts to become less effective. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a schedule of maintenance set-up of renewing his enchantments to prevent them getting to that point.

I guess he used to have Bob around to remind him. Kinda more useful than a calendar.

I'm just thinking about how awful it is (for me) to schedule maintenance six months out. There's just no way I'm ever going to remember that. I can write it down... but I'll forget to check that I wrote it down. I might remember eventually, but probably not.
