Is Cassius death curse in effect already?

I think Cassius was a wizard, but a minor one. Harry is gaining in strength all the time, even if it is still there it may get shed in time. The same way Cowl was contemptuous of Harry's death curse, and Kumori told Harry he has shaken off worse.

I don't think so, think Namshiel was the only one. Since Cowl never killed Harry, he never actually received it, easy to laugh off a threat. But Harry was a lot younger then, he has gained in more ways that one, including deciding on the kind of death curse he'd throw and take into consideration who is killing him. Not unlike his mother, she didn't just throw a death curse for the sake of it, she considered who would kill her and how best to get to him... And she succeeded.. I don't think Cowl would blow off a death curse from Harry now.

Cassius is the host. Saluriel is the Denarian (the usual -el ending). Even without the coin Harry sees energy around him as he releases the curse. I think Cassius may have been a minor practitioner pre-coin. And I think ALL the Denarians have some ability, if not as much as Namshiel. Remember Ascher seemed AWFULLY good - I think Harry said Senior Council level, and she only had Lasciel.

Ascher was better than Harry with fire, but only with fire. She wasn't senior council level, not a wide enough pool of talent.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I always saw Cassius as pretty much at the bottom of the White Council of his time, a Wizard who just only qualified for training and served a long, long, long apprenticeship. Such things make a man bitter and open to suggestion from someone who can offer a power up.
It is notable that Nick in seeking Harry sought out a powerhouse who served a short apprenticeship, He was clearly fed up with Cassius and wasn’t going to repeat that mistake. Instead he made a much worse mistake.
Mira:
Talent maybe at the OP level, but they'd never make wizard, sure they got some juice from the coin, but the only real magical bad ass in the bunch was Namshiel. Ascher could have been a wizard but she went warlock instead due to making some bad choices early on. Thus like Molly she was on the run depending on her half turned friends, when Harry did in the Red Court, most of them died because the mortal halves of them were very old. That made her bitter, take up the coin, and Lasciel powered up her fire magic more than it was.
