I agree; even if it's not exactly the same thing as what a conventional wizard would use, the Fallen can absolutely perceive magical energies itself, and it can use its ability to influence the host's perceptions to convey that.
I think any of the Denarian Fallen could do this, but the personalities & needs of host and Fallen mean that they usually don't. The ones that are just thugs and go through hosts quickly (like Magog) don't bother, and some of the others probably usually pick hosts who already are magical practitioners.

He will, but the point of Mab's love/hate vs. reason wasn't the reason it part - it was to provide a hint that while the Eye has traditionally been powered by intense hate, Harry will find some way to do something with it fueled by "The Power of Love(tm)."

It may wait for the BAT, but I agree, if it is needed Harry will use it. When you think about it, it isn't too much of a stretch, at this point anyway, Harry hates Outsiders, he also hates the Black Court.

Two points:
(1) All of the Denarians who are partners (like Nicodemus, Tessa, and Deirdre) are called by the host's name. Those who were fully subjugated (like Magog and Ursiel) are called by the fallen's name. In Small Favor, Thorned Namshiel was called Thorned Namshiel.
(Counterpoint: In Skin Game, Ursiel's host seemed to be in charge, so the same fallen might subjugate one host but "partner" with another. Or start out "partners" with a long slow slide into subjugation.)
(2) There are really strong indications in Skin Game (Michael's conversation with Nicodemus in the Vault) that Nicodemus isn't actually an equal partner -- that he's not a subjugated slave, but that he's still manipulated by the fallen and after thousands of years of such manipulation he's no more free than Ursiel's first host was. He just doesn't realize it.

I'm curious about the smell of sulphur and brimstone when Butters passed the sword thru Harry. Winter Knight mantle wouldn't smell like that. Residual Lash?
morriswalters:
Sulfur is brimstone more or less. God likes it. Ask Sodom and Gomorrah. Jim may have meant fire and brimstone. As in a biblical judgement of his deed.
