Marcone has the coin. He accepted it with his free will. He wants to keep it. Theoretically he can resist it but practically that will be not that likely. It will become more and more difficult and he will grow dependent on it. The coin will influence him and he will I’ll. e changed as a result. No big change at once but after some time his goals will align with the fallen and he will be their tool. This can take some time but the idea that Harry could take up Lasciel’s coin and stay in control for 500 years is not very likely. It is just a matter of time. Only throwing away the coin will reverse this process.

I think by the BAT Marcone will either reject the coin because too many of Namshiel's objectives do not match his own and goes against his tiger nature.. Or he will become the biggest baddest Denarian and there will be a show down between him and Nic.  I still wonder at him letting Harry have the Eye.  Yes, Harry's by right, but what is Marcone really up to?  Does he think he can get it back later?  Or does he underestimate Demonreach?

The problem with a weapon that big is that you need someone big to use it.  I don’t think Harry and Marcone are in the right league for that.

Mab makes no effort to get it either. I think Marcone tried to paint a big target on Harry’s back and he countered that with spreading doubt.

Well, I don't know.  The Eye uses dark energy to fuel it.  Harry has an island overflowing with dark energy.  He's seen the enchantments used by Namshiel to tap into the ley line energy.  He's familiar with making foci to shoot energy. 

It wouldn't be good for field use, but I could see him rebuilding the lighthouse, putting a turret on top with a BFG (Balor Foci Gun), and using it to mow down the hordes of Outsiders that will inevitably attack Demonreach for a third time.

The gatekeeper warned him against using the dark energy of the island but also said it might be possible if he gets older. I do think though that you have to remove an eye to use it. I do not expect any shortcut.

It probably needs a lot of hate as well. There are implications for using it.

Cymbaline:
Harry needs to be very, very, very careful with the knowledge about Marcone around Mab.  The Sidhe do not give out information without a price, and for him to simply give out such valuable information could have massive unintended consequences.  Not only the information itself, even if she knows, just the knowledge that he also knows could be dangerous.
