Molly's Doppelganger Ring Crafting

<< < (3/13) > >>

Melriken:
Molly doesn't say she has made a doppelganger ring lately, she says she has done some work like it lately...

An item that lets you create and control an illusion would be like it, regardless of what that illusion was.  But she could also be talking about an invisibility ring, or a scrying item, or some other partial match. It doesn't have to create an illusion, much less one of yourself.

A magic item that makes a bomb look like a bunch of flowers might even qualify, especially if you activate it by dropping it on the bomb (or other item you want to look like flowers).

Conspiracy Theorist:
It may be in a short story yet to be published or even written.

Mira:

--- Quote ---Except do you really think Ethniu would have been fooled? And why would Molly need to create the doppleganger ring for Mab (Mab could easily do it herself)? Not to mention, after that assault wouldn't the doppelganger have been destroyed. If Mab had been "destroyed" I would be more inclined to believe this theory. But as it stands, I don't think this is the case.

She isn't a wizard, even if she is the Winter Queen.  If Mab made it Ethniu might be able to detect it or there was the fear.  I'd think that Harry could make one, but he was pretty busy, Mab may have been also.

She is hardly significant in terms of the pantheon of the Fomor. However, I do believe that there are reasons Jim chose her beyond "surprise minor character is actually big bad".

I think the idea is that Balor is dead (killed by Lugh, as in mythology) and Ethniu is his heir.

Hagbard Celine:
There are lots of possibilities.  Harry's ring didn't just create a duplicate, it let him work magic through his constructed self, projecting his consciousness into it.  So it's not merely an illusion, it's the ability to create a sock puppet construct that you can act through.
