The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Some exposition I may have missed.

Yuillegan:
Weird it might be - but it isn't strictly speaking Black Magic. There is a loop hole for self-defence, hence the Doom. Not to mention, they never accused him of Black Magic either then or when he burned the Velvet Room. He specifically is in trouble for killing (the first time). And as I said, even if he DID kill Justin, doesn't mean Justin is non-existent or not part of goings on. Doesn't even mean he is dead. I mean he literally pulled the magic research assistant from a Necromancers lair AND didn't tell the council.

Mr Death - could you find that passage? I cannot find it myself...

Soulgazes are measures of truth telling, sure. But they arn't an exact science. Harry could honestly believe he was telling the truth; the Soulgaze doesn't tell you exactly what happened.

Just to correct you there Snark Knight, fire hurts Corporeal Ghosts. Doesn't effect non-corporeal (i.e. sane ghosts). Doesn't hurt a naked soul either, otherwise everyone who burned to death would end up in a state of Oblivion. Don't believe there has been any example of it hurting the non-corporeal. All fire is said to do is have a spiritual element which makes it effective against magic - a cleansing element. But that is Harry's perspective. Never forget the time Harry and Bob came across the runes on the island and realised just how out of their depth they BOTH were.

It's in Fool Moon, and it's not Bob, it's Id Harry:


--- Quote ---"She's still alive," my double said. "You know she is."
"She died in the fire," I said. "She was unconscious. She couldn't have lived through it."
"You'd have known if she died. And they never found a second set of bones."

cptnspldng:
The other seminal point that is missing (although we've been informed of its occurrence) is the whole acquisition of Bob. Was Harry aware of Bob's existence at any point prior to the fatal confrontation with Dumorne?  Did Harry have to fight to claim Bob's allegiance? Did Bob play hard to get? Is Ebenezer aware of Bob's existence and if not, how did Harry manage to hide Bob in all the years he was in Ebenezer's care?

I guess this is the problem when ya get engrossed with a fictional story. The details matter and they aren't always available.

morriswalters:
Bob can't play hard to get. I have no idea where Bob was while Harry was with Ebeneezer.

According to the RPG at least, Harry buried him in a hole and dug him back up after leaving Ebenezer.
