The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Bloodlines
Yuillegan:
Morris - I agree. Tolkien was a master of that, as was Lovecraft. Less is more.
BA - I remember the quote. And I agree with what you're saying. But Uriel isn't Jim either. I think we can each interpret it how we feel.
My general point is it doesn't really matter to the story, overmuch. There IS a multiverse in the Dresden Files, that implies that there has been enough Choices (however you define them) to create a multiverse.
Bad Alias:
It would be a pretty hard turn in the narrative if Uriel was wrong or lying. Even with Choice being rare, billions of people over tens of thousands of years are going to cause a lot of branches.
morriswalters:
I'll give you something hand wavium. There are an infinite number of Universes. Those most important to you are the easiest ones to reach. So all the Harry Universes are clustered together. The Universes where Harry is less important are farther away. The same could be true for important moments. The point is that there is infinite room to do whatever you like. For time travel you can go back and do whatever you like. But it always spawns a new branch. But you can't stay in that branch and you can't change your own. I obviously flunked creative writing which is why Jim is published and why I will never be. :'(
Yuillegan:
Morris, I love it. Exactly what I am getting at. Maybe not perfect - but what is? Even Jim's stuff needs work (hence our debate).
Not such a hard turn if he was wrong. I don't think he could lie, if he is lying he probably isn't actually Uriel. My god that would be a twist, if Uriel was actually Satan in disguise lol.
Mira:
--- Quote ---The only thing I can think of is that Harry did have to understand the Darkhallow to stop it. I don't know how much he had to understand. Without that, I can't say whether or not he knew enough to do it. It usually requires less information to know how to wreck something than it is to do it, so ...

He knows how it works, this is what he told Mavra at the end of Dead Beat
--- Quote ---"I've read Kemmler's book. I know how the Darkhollow works."
--- End quote ---
If he knows how it works, if he has enough power he should be able to use it. Since he successfully foiled Cowl's attempt, he has some idea of how to stop it also. Then again does that apply to himself if he decided to use it?
