Mother Winter Blackstaff Back
Conspiracy Theorist:
I am not sure the Mothers can properly enter the world without breaking reality, it’s like Ferrovax, he extrudes his human form in, or like Vadderung who has deliberately limited himself.
I think the mantles were set up to make the Mothers powerful enough for full intellectus, the Queens just powerful enough to stride the Earth without breaking it, and the Ladies just powerful enough to be immortal. When created they had specific purposes in mind. Otherwise we see more limited Intellectus like the Archive (all recorded knowledge) Harry/Demonreach (the island) and Bob (porn), none of the members of the Accords we have seen have displayed Full Intellectus, the only character likely to is Uriel. Even Anduriel doesn’t have it.

that's... What the mantles are for. To give them another, lesser form that doesn't break reality.

The Mothers can see the future, all of them. For them to go into any one timeline is to be blind them to all of the others. This is how Mother Summer knew that Mab had ordered Maeve's death.
The_Sibelis:
Can't be that easy to lose track of your multiversal self, otherwise Uriel would be doing it all the time. An he seems kinda important. (Now if giving Micheal his grace did that is a different story) metaphorically, I'd you dip your big toe into a pool, you don't loose track of everything around you, but if you submerged yourself..
morriswalters:
Uriel may have answered that in Small Favor.
--- Quote ---“Well,” he said, “I never been to much school, you understand. But seems to me that you assuming something you shouldn’t assume.”
“What’s that?” I asked.
“That God sees the world like you do. One thing at a time. From just one spot. Seems to me that He is supposed to be everywhere, know everything.” He put the lid back on the trash can. “Think about that. He knows what you’re feeling, how you’re hurting. Feels my pain, your pain, like it was His own.”

Pretty much out of the Christian playbook. Mathew 10:29. Or omniscience.
For the Mothers what I imagine when I think of it, is like looking at a very long wall. The closer you get, the less you can see. You have never seen the Mothers away from their cottage. Not even in an alternate form. Except when Mother Winter's arm pulled Harry through the bottom of his grave when he summoned her./shrug/
