Harry is about to learn new tricks!

(1/4) > >>

b4utoo:
I don't believe Jim Butcher is a lazy writer. I think he had dracul and Marcone perform that transporter spell for a reason. I think Harry's about the take another leap in ability and know how. Harry throws Down The Gauntlet to the council. Pretty much saying there's a new sheriff in town. He's got to step up his game now. Bringing new "friends" maybe even a few old ones... Kincaid...Goodman ...

Dina:
Oh, I had not thought at that, but it would make sense. I would love to see it.

Regenbogen:
First he will learn how to shift shapes.

grogleberry:
Harry still isn't particularly good at veils 10 years later (or however long it's been).

It sounds like some extremely finnicky magic.

Also, the way things were described was that Marcone did "translocation". Harry belaboured the point a bit, talking about how it was bordering on forbidden, and extremely dangerous. Drakul's teleportation, however, wasn't dwelled upon.

I don't think you can say it was a matter of urgency in the prose. They were both life and death situations, with the fight against the Titan certainly more crucial.

Another one mentioned was Mab's. When Corb tosses the head of the Gwynn ap Nudd to Mab, tantmount to a declaration of war on the Accorded Nations by itself, and insults her, Harry describes her movement. She sort of just appears in front of Corb without passing the space in between. This sounds more like Drakul's movement - sufficiently powerful beings sound like they can simply will themselves about the place. Just as Ferrovax or Odin smush Harry to the ground with pure will, they seem to have reality warping powers that allow them to teleport around the place.

I wonder if it'll be a bit like Harry's "Be" spell, where he manifests in Ghost Story. It won't be a new skill, so much as a set piece spell he uses to accomplish a particular goal. It will involve a huge amount of risk, or he won't be very good at it.

Him reappearing without his clothes on, or inside his wedding cake, would be very much on brand.

Conspiracy Theorist:
It depends on what the magic for the transporter spell entails, if it is related to portals it might be right down his street. The problem is finding out how it was done. Bob doesn’t know as Harry tried the Edinburgh library and was banned. Cue Bonea. Bonea has Lash’s memory so she probably knows how Namshiel pulled it off.
