Unidentified Winter Knight Abilities
toodeep:
We all know that becoming the winter knight has:
1. Increased Harry's physical strength and speed, including probably increased reflexes. Butters posits that this isn't necessarily magical (just the removal of normal limitors)
2. Additional magical juice. Not sure if Harry can actually pull much more of normal magic, but he seems to be able to pull cold magic more easily in addition to his normal magic
3. Increased healing. Not sure if this is true, but Harry seems to believe that the winter mantle helps with healing
4. Innate balance on ice, ability to work with/break ice, and apparently a resistance to cold
We've seen indications it can do additional things like
A. When attacking an actual outsider, Harry experienced a innate winter response of coating his hands with ice-blades that helped hurt the outsider. This seems to indicate that winter magic might be institutionally inclined to be more effective against outsiders.
And other things seem possible
B. We've seen that Toot appears to be able to at least speak any language. Might Harry be able to tap into that cool ability?
C. Additional synergies if he ever uses the Blackstaff considering its possible winter origins.
D. It sounds like most knights die by violence. Might it make him as longer lived or otherwise slow aging compared even to most wizards?
Any others?
nadia.skylark:
He seems to have the ability to know on a large scale either when Winter magic or just when Mab is affecting things vs. when it's just normal stuff. In Skin Game, he knows instinctively that the snowstorm isn't Mab, it's just regular Chicago weather.
Yuillegan:
He also had instinctive predatory abilities, like those of a wolf, when fighting Fix and against Maeve.
We also know that his power is tied to the power of the Queens, which gives a unique advantage against them. Not a lot, but not nothing either (which is most beings). Mab cannot defend against her own power, it seems.
A massive resistance to regular pain and fatigue...although again as Butter's points out this might be more to do with removing natural limits in the brain.
Harry has often described that he adds "winter" to his magic missile attack ("something Mab gave him") that he often describes as part of his best shot.
