Certainly :)

But you would think it would be something all the Wardens learn as part of their combat training. It wouldn't be your main offense, but it a nice surprise trick. And Harry took out a Black Court Elder with it, so we know it's effective.

He had set it up books ago, so yes. I suspect he would also like to shoehorn in killing a Black Court Vampire by placing a bucket of holy water balanced over a door, but Neil Gaiman got there first.
Dina:
Well, Neil and Terry :)
Remember the frozen chicken, JB likes his cartoon antics.

The thing about Conjuritus that drives me bonkers. And it's the ONLY thing I would ever criticize about these books as I absolutely love them every single one. Conjuritus means "Inflammation of the Conjur" because of it's Latin suffix. Ebenezer and most of the White Council speak fluent Latin, they would know that this is a misnomer. "Conjurpox" would be far far more appropriate "Eruption of the Conjur" would make more sense. Sure I can see Harry who is somewhat Latin challenged giving it this nickname if Ebenezer and Laura called it something more appropriate. Only thing that has ever thrown me out of the story… Love everything else about these two books.
