"How would Harry do against members on the Senior Council as of Skin Game"

"Harry would get torn apart" lol

Kindler:
Good to know. Unless, you know, he's standing on Demonreach.

Snark Knight:
The one where he said Lord Raith's anti-magic protection was from the sorceresses covering him and Harry didn't realize it seems off to me. First, Ebenezar said he's tried to kill Lord Raith three times before in revenge for Maggie Sr., which would have been well before Raith recruited the sorceresses. And second, Lord Raith's protection was very much still in force when Harry tried to get at him during the fight in the Deeps in BR when two of the sorceresses were dead and Madge was entirely occupied trying to hold the summoning for the Walker together.

peregrine:
Depending on how it works, possibly that the trio we saw in Blood Rites were not the first ones Raith has used.  He is, after all, a user of people, he could be running through a new coven every decade or so.

And also, they may have cast the spell, made the arrangements, but not be always the ones operating things.  They may just set it up and then let it ride until it needs to be refreshed.

Snark Knight:
The way he put it was 'they were covering him at that point' which sounded more active, like a shield spell. But he seemed to be having trouble remembering what protection the question was about, so as you suggest, it might be better to take that not entirely word for word.

I guess interpreting it that his coven did the ritual leg-work to get a heavyweight to provide Lord Raith with his protection might still fit his answer, in the context of "No it wasn't Margaret who did that". It certainly makes more sense than one modestly talented but still less than Council-level sorceress and two barely more than vanilla helpers blocking strikes Ebenezar meant to kill someone with, and doing it so effectively that he attributed it to an old god.
