Why Conjouritis, Why??

--- Quote ---With him taking the Winter Mantle all bargains are fulfilled and he has access to his full power for the first time since adolescence. Without Bob or someone else to explain when "young wizards" usually get it will have to guess. After no sign of it with Molly and she was a wizard in her late 20s.

Or like Harry she simply wasn't exposed or allergic to what ever causes it. Lots of people for example are immune to poison ivy, then as adults upon exposure find themselves with a massive case.. Conversely some people grow out of their allergies, as I kid strawberries gave me hives, they don't any more. Some kids can be around other kids with chicken pox, never catch it, but to their dismay catch it as an adult.

I had assumed that at some point in the story (or battle ground) that he would need to create an object (like the bucket for the gasoline, but more serious) and we'd see him hoping around trying to make himself sneeze so he could make it - without having to see him learn how to conjure items out of the NN suddenly.
Of course, after having it, he should realize it is totally in his power to conjure items out of the NN and we might see him add that to his list of skills.
Though the whole spider thing bothered me because he also somehow conjured minds for them, which seemed odd.

Maybe conjuritis includes summoning stuff. In that case, they already had minds; he just called them here.
Maz:
Yeah, while reading it, I totally assumed it was somehow a major sign of a geasa lifted or some type of time/power tweak, the fact that young, developing wizards got it and Harry was getting it then. As silly as it is, I suspect it is actually rather significant.
A worst case scenario would be Jim split the books and needed filler for the 1st one but that just does not strike me as Jim. And I love the idea that it would enhance his understanding of summoning / creating via NN.

Or like mood swings that come with puberty? ::) As we all know there is a wide age range for it depending on a lot of things, my youngest son had the voice change etc at eleven my older son not fully until he was almost sixteen. We adopted both kids, they had different ethnic backgrounds, one small and slight of build the other very tall and stout.. Maybe because he is so powerful, and larger than average his wizard hormones took longer to fully kick in?
