Mother Winter Blackstaff Back

--- Quote from: groinkick on October 13, 2021, 07:15:28 PM ---According to Jim, the Eye is a god killing weapon. He said even Uriel could be killed by it eventually (if he just sat there and did nothing). It would have killed Mab if she took one or maybe two more blasts with it. She barely survived the first one. The Mantle would have went to Molly right away I'd think.

WOJ please, whilst Jim can re-write his rules as he pleases but this hasn’t been shown in BG, all the immortals zapped by the Eye survived though I think only the Erl King was a genuine immortal not reliant upon a Mantle for his immortality.
What the Eye can do is break reality, little point being an immortal if reality has ended.

Except you leave out that Mab understood how the Eye worked, understanding it, she neutralized any power it may have had to kill her.
on page 394 of Battle Ground, Harry asks her how she withstood it. First observation he made was the Eye was made of hate and destroyed everything it touched. Mab explains how she was able to withstand it.
--- Quote ---"Everyone," she said, "thinks that hate and love are somehow opposite forces. They are not. They are the same force, facing opposite directions." She glanced aside at me. "Love is fire, my Knight. Love turned the wrong way has killed as many as hate. Reason,young wizard, is the opposite of hate, not love. Ethniu could not destroy me with a single blast of the Eye. I was certain of it. I ran the numbers."

So it may be a god killing machine, perhaps because most gods don't apply reason, maybe because the don't feel they need to. It makes them vulnerable to the likes of the Eye. Reason, is what Eve gained at the Tree of Knowledge when she took a bite.

The only Immortals attacked by the Eye were Mab and Titania. Titania deflected it and Mab took the hit.
The Erlking and Odin got beat down along with Titania after that.
As for immortals regenerating, Molly say in BG that she would regeneraten if she was put in a blender. If she can do it, Mab certainly can. It takes a power like the Eye or Spear to kill an immortal outside of a confluence.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I just have the unsettling image of a Molly Smoothie.

Most of this is covered in Cold Days, including the fact that you could kill Mother Winter. But you can't destroy the mantle. And puree de Molly is not on the menu. EOS.
