--- Quote ---What Peabody did in Luccio’s mind went quite far and he did all kind of things with young wizzards minds.

But without the ink it is doubtful that he'd be able to do it. He didn't do it to Harry mainly because he
never came in contact with the ink. He should not have been able to go into any wizard mind, even
the young one without them being aware of it.

What I am wondering.... (click to show/hide)Is who is the mortal calling these bad boys up? Could it be Marcone? He might be thinking he needs some real muscle for leverage.

(click to show/hide)Maybe this is the book where Elaine shows her true colors as...dun.dun.Dun! Kumori!

What I am wondering is why every time something like this happens they seem to look at each other and go, "someone is summoning outsiders" and then go fight the outsiders, and never seem to do crap all to find/stop the summoners? I mean, Harry should have captured one of the humans on the barges attacking his island and turned them over to Mab. That would have been useful as she could have ripped information they never even knew they had out of them.

I don't think you turn people into walking time bombs and assassins without mind magic. I think the drugs in the ink only made them more susceptible to the magic, it didn't do the work itself. If there were drugs out there that allowed that without magic the CIA would rule the world. I think it is probably that an experienced wizard, already fairly set in their ways before turning to black magic, and probably watching to make sure they avoid the strongest stains of it, can "wash" their aura or do other activities to hide their contamination if they try. As I recall, Luccio didn't really pick up anything from Kemmler or his magic in her encounter with him, and yet by that time he was an accomplished necromancer, so I think it must be possible to hide at least some degree of black magic use.

As to 1, yes. As to 2, he was a little busy that night.
As to the ink, I'll have to wait until I read that book again, but I thought the ink was thaumaturgical link specially suited for mind magic.
