The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Now THAT's what I call a Sample Chapter!
Conspiracy Theorist:
Still tormenting us about Mac, still!
Intellectus (of more than just Demonreach or about the written word) is something we have only seen in the Mothers and Archangels. It does explain why Mac doesn’t need to speak, he already knows.
Exactly how much research has Harry done on the objects, when and how? He suddenly has all this knowledge, when ignorance has been his most enduring feature. So the Placard is a super threshold, which puts Macanally’s on par with the Carpenters supernaturally, which is powered by multiple Angels. Does this mean the bar can now withstand the eye of Balor? Is it just the bar, if Mac owns the entire building is that covered as well? That means they still have to defend against purely physical force, which is where Murphy comes in I suppose.
It’s original purpose on the crucifixtion would have been to protect Christ on the cross from supernatural intervention, but from who? Christ owned the Cross?
Is that as Harry has the Placard this is how he gets the Castle?it can only be used by someone who owns the building it is part of, so to create the perfect supernatural bomb shelter Harry has to own it. Harry becomes Marcone’s Landlord? Will Harry make Marcon shoevel the paths in Winter, even though as Winter Knight he doesn’t need them shovelled?
Mira:
So, if Harry looked at Mac with his sight, it would blind him or hurt him in some way. Okay, seeing Shaggy with his sight gave him a severe migraine. So is Mac really a retired archangel? Did he rebel, but not quite fall with the rest? Hopefully we will find out by the end of this book..
He had to trick her, but Harry did the right thing with Murphy, given her condition it is the best place for her to do some good.. Now, will Mac heal her when things get really nasty? Do you doubt that Mac could?

An alternative explanation is that it's dangerous for him to speak. That there are rules preventing him from sharing too much, so he errs on the sided of caution.

I kind of got the impression that this one has a different loophole. That loophole is that the threshold doesn't protect Mac.

The only other time we saw something shutdown Harry's sight for his own benefit was the angel guard to the "police station" in GS.

Yep. Like it redirects any attack against the people sheltering there into an attack on Mac.
Perhaps some sort of parallel to Jesus on the Cross taking on all of the sins of the world for everyone.

That makes sense. I didn't get why the placard might redirect any attacks against the paraneters to Mac. I had to reread what Harry said about the sign to be certain. So this means that Mac is mortal or is made vulnerable by putting up the sign in his place. So the question is, how much punishment can Mac take?
