We constantly were reminded the easy path would let give you power at a terrible price and suddenly Marcone skips all that and just be ones a magical demigod with no drawbacks? That breaks the DF on a very moral level... I hate it, I absolutely despise it even. Getting a coin doesn't have to mean you become a practitioner. Marcone should have become a big hulking monster not some finesse filled warlock.

There will be drawbacks. He will loose his principles, the loyalty of his followers and he already lost a friend. At some point he will probably loose Gard’s respect as the fallen will influence his personality.
He will loose his soul.

I truly don't remember where this was mentioned or was it in one of the side stories?

Now that is interesting because the general consensus has been he'd be able to wield the Sword of Love because of his true love for Justine. So that gets thrown out the window now? I guess I could see him wielding the Sword of Hope, because as we learned from the soul gaze with Harry many years ago, part of Thomas continues to fight the Hunger even though it seems to be a losing battle.
Now that sounds confusing...
I'm not happy with that, yeah I know, not my call, but... So since at least one of the wizards who got soulfire, also used it with necromancy, does that say that archangels are really bad a judging the people they are giving the soulfire to? Or because of free will they don't think it is their problem?

It means they take risks and can not predict everything when it comes to how humans use their free will.

That's my point, it isn't anywhere as far as I know.. Suddenly well, there is more than one star born, and oh maybe eight wizards were gifted soul fire.. So that makes Harry not so special after all for starters... Then saying when they mix soul fire with necromancy it has bad results? What I am saying why would an archangel give it to someone who'd do that in the first place?

As far as you know there isn't a reference in any of JB's published DF works that mentions how many wizards got soulfire or it's affect casting Necromancy? The only one I recall was Uriel talking about it being a gift to Harry because he resisted Lashiel. I myself don't recall any other mentions about other wizards having it nor any using it with Necromancy.
