Did Ebeneezer use Mind Magic to make Thomas try the hit?
Mira:
--- Quote ---That was my theory at the time, too. Remember that the two points he wanted to make to Harry were: (1) Thomas isn't safe to have around Maggie and (2) the Svartalves aren't who he thinks they are -- the embassy isn't a safe place to raise Maggie.

We also know now that Eb is a bit out of control. He also said that Maggie shouldn't be around Harry either. He thought she should have remained at the Carpenters, though he didn't know that Michael encouraged Harry to make a home for her and to be a father. But then Michael knows Harry a lot better than Eb does even without a soul gaze.
Silentbrick:
To be fair, Michael I think is a much better father than Eb was. Sure his daughter is a warlock and now Winter Lady, but the rest of the kids are fine.

Nothing wrong with Molly either, she rebelled a bit, not unlike any other teen no matter how well brought up. What complicated matters for her was she had talent and no idea the dangers of that.
Let's not forget that yes, she went down the warlock path or started down that path in an effort to help her friends. She had no idea that it was wrong to go into someone's mind, to try and influence that mind, and that she could be doing everlasting harm by doing it. Nor did she know that that act in of itself could be addictive.

I think there is some woj that Harry and Michael actually did soul gaze.

--- Quote from: Silentbrick on September 25, 2020, 03:58:54 AM ---My wife just mentioned a theory that Eb, mad that Harry was allowing Thomas to be near Maggie, worked a mind magic whammy on Thomas to try and kill Etri. Obviously Eb is pretty psycho about hating the White Court, and I find it just as plausible that Eb whammied Thomas as Justine being nemfected. Eb also 'tested' the Svartalfs security when he visited and mentioned how they occasionally needed to be reminded they couldn't control everything.
Personally, I don't know. I don't /want/ to think Eb would do it, but honestly, Eb in Peace Talks feels very....odd compared to the past. Very out of character in some ways.
Anyway, thoughts and comments on it are appreciated.

If the corner hounds show up when someone time-travels, and the Blackstaff can break any of the Laws with immunity, then there may have been two Ebs running around. He's particularly insistent on finding out that Eitri is nearby, and also making sure that everyone is a) Paying attention to him and not other places, and b) Noticing that he's nowhere near Thomas.
So, extend it a step: The Eb we see is possibly a time traveled Eb, or there is one outside whammying Thomas when this one is talking to Harry. When did he go back? Right after he and Harry confront each other outside Justine's. It's even perfect timing- he has a starborn to cover the cornerhounds for him.
