What if Harry used a Darkhallow to consume all the creatures on demonreach?

This was telegraphed in the text.  It's the ley lines that Harry will tap.  Why pay when you can get it for free? He doesn't need the dark hallow.

Because that is just borrowing. If you do a darkhallow you can become immortal. A very dark god if you do it on the island and consume the inmates.

But it is not a realistic scenario. Sure Harry could kidnap a few people to serve as human sacrifice but the darkhallow is not designed to rip the power from gods or even living humans. Not at first anyway, it starts with ghosts and I do not think there are that many on the island, not enough people.

Tapping the leyline though is something that will surely happen.

Not sure gods are all that much different than ghosts when you down to the brass tax of it. Most things are not supposed to interfere in the mortal world, those things that do anyway are inevitably corrupted by it.. This is something ghosts, angels, god's all have in common actually. The variables exist in how they operate and how well they're known Plus it's been Implied that not only is the how the Erlking got his start, but that the darkhallow was meant to eat him too.

I am sure gods have much better defenses against that sort of things than ghosts or vanilla humans have. They wouldn't be gods otherwise.

Kemmler's desciples wanted the erlking to eat his ghosts, not to eat him.

Griffyn612:
I don't know. I think the fact that we've learned that Alfred can release parts of prisoners is potentially relevant to this conversation.

Look, everyone knows I'm a big fan of 'Demonreach is fueled by archangelic Grace'.  But if not, then there has to be a source of magical energy to fuel Alfred's wards and defenses, right?

So is it theoretically possible that Alfred is 'releasing' a percentage of each inmate's magical power, and Alfred is distilling it into a non-evil source of energy that he can use to power the prison and its defenses?  And the leftover energy (likely the bulk of it because the extraction process likely isn't efficient) is what's creating the dark ley line?

If that's so, then couldn't there theoretically be a scenario where Demonreach creates a tap for Harry? It'd release a ton of dark energy into the ley line, but allow him to tap a pure source of energy to use?  Either for a massive spell, or a Darkhallow, or something along those lines?

I'm not saying it's likely, but it seems like it's not outside the realm of possibility.
