Proven Guilty speculation, because, why not?

--- Quote ---I'm discussing characters in the book who can appear as a human but can summon a creature of Winter.  The summoner in particular is someone who has done magic that is familiar to Harry.  For the purpose of this theory, I would like the summoner and Sandra Marling to be one and the same.

This would explain how we keep talking past each other--because I'm not talking about Proven Guilty. At all. I'm talking about one claim you made when discussing Proven Guilty, which I consider to be untrue.


--- Quote ---I don't remember Molly as taking on anyone's appearance.

She does so at least in Cold Case, and maybe in Ghost Story or Bombshells--I don't remember.

Also, Harry creates an artifact that Thomas can use for magical impersonation--so whoever's doing the impersonation might not even be able to use magic/shapeshifting themselves at all.


--- Quote ---Harry doesn't detect her because he senses Magic, he detects her because she isn't good at being a modern human.  The Ladies are closer to the mortal plane than Mab. They live here, not in faerie.  In the last short story Molly is raising cohorts form creatures living here.  And I missed another creature of Winter that can appear as humans, the ones in Alaska.

As I recall, he detected Mab because she left magic static on his doorknob.


--- Quote ---Mab calls Thomas in Cold Days imitating Molly.

Thanks.

You recall incorrectly. The static isn't magic static.
--- Quote ---"Static on the doorknob," I said. "It should have been locked. You shouldn't have been able to get in here, so you must have gone through it.
--- End quote ---
  The static is on the doorknob because the knob hasn't been touched, or at least that is what Harry implies. And that is as good as Jim's physics and neurobiology.  Which is to say, lacking.  That isn't how it works.  However this is a book about magic.

I still don't remember about Molly, but ok.

Ok.

Is that what Harry was implying? Huh. I'd always thought that he was implying that the static was magic residue from her spelling the door unlocked.

morriswalters:
I gave you the quote.

g33k:
I'm gonna jump in with the claim that the fetches were there on Mab's behest, or maybe Lea-as-Mab's-Right-Hand.

It began the Winter-Molly path that culminated in Lady Molly.

There may have been another agent involved... a Mortal wizard, a Denarian, a Vamp of some stripe.  My bet would be on a WinterFae or a Denarian, (or agents thereof) because those are the agents we find entangled at Arctis Tor.

But it's a pretty good notion that the Fetch who came in through the bathroom mirror was SENT by someone with authority over it.  And THAT list is, AFAIK, limited to... Mab (and Lea, if so delegated).
