Battle Ground Cover Art
Arjan:
It looks like the spearhead has a socket and you can use that to attach it to any pole that fits including a wizard staff. Maybe sand the top of the staff a bit.Does someone recognise that type of spearhead? It is not a Roman pilum or an Ancient Greek or early medieval European as far as I can see.

Artist conception of what a Roman spearhead looks like verses doing the actual research on what one really looks like perhaps? Details do matter but perhaps not so much in book cover art.

So what does the red/orange light mean? Does Dresden get Hellfire again? I know Jim has said that is impossible to wield Soulfire and Hellfire together, as they are opposite sides of the same coin...which could mean Harry learns to "flip the coin" so to speak, transitioning as needed.

The carvings on his staff and blasting rod were originally described as glowing red-orange and sometimes smelling of clean woodsmoke even before Lasciel provided hellfire, weren't they? I think that's just the default when Harry is using his own fire magic.

Like the hat?
I know it is not an original roman spearhead, I just wondered of somebody would know where the inspiration came from.
Bad Alias:
It looks to me as if the inspiration is either a hunting spear or fantasy awesomeness instead of any familiarity with spears, though I say this without much familiarity with spears.
