May I abuse it further, then?

You can do as you wish with my metaphor, I no longer cherish it. And by he I meant Jim Butcher.
Bad Alias:
The Damocles reference makes sense without any reference to a penalty to the Master. Harry did a bad thing, and the results are always hanging over his head.

I cannot find it at the moment, but the responsibility for the apprentice under the Doom, if the apprentice back slides goes on the master as well, so it is death for both.. That is one reason why there is a shortage of wizards willing to step up for kids that can be salvaged, since if left unchecked they go full warlock, easier to lop off their heads instead.

This in no way responds to the point I'm making.

You can apply the metaphor in any number of ways. One is that Kim is Damocles. Not understanding the true nature of the peril that Harry faced. Like Damocles she didn't really get it. The point of the sword was to teach Damocles what it meant to hold the throne. The point being that Damocles couldn't see the peril until he faced it. In my version Harry would be the King.
