The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
A reason Dresden was kicked from the White Council
Ed0517:
The Merlin could have kicked Harry out for fear of a possible schism in the White Court. What if Harry starts talking Black Court? What will he do? They think he has the Eye. Even the blackstaff was not enough against the Eye. This is like the Darkhallow. The captain of the Wardens was laid out before she even reached the core. So was possibly the strongest hero of the Wardens, Morgan. up comes Harry, riding a T Rex. Goes on by, kicks ass. The side looks lost... the Titan lays Odin down... and Harry jails her, and takes her main gun.
Question is - the Merlin may question if even Eb can take him, now that he has the Eye. Could he look for a hitman, like Kincaid, as a black op? Only against the rules if he gets caught.... and he had a SC decree of death, even if it was suspended. Some emergency powers clause lets him activate it, if word comes out?
Conspiracy Theorist:
I considered Klaus, but he is a well established wizard, the first person the Senior Council would ask, so obviously they asked him and he said no. Still no new swords. His deadly devices are based on innocuous toys, a sword is not a toy, so it may be some eccentricity on his part that prevents him from acting.
They would not ask Harry, even if they were aware of how extensive his skill set is in this area.
Staffs and blasting rods are both foci, the staff generally but the blasting rod specific to producing fire.
The White Council couldn’t be seen to be contracting it’s enforcement to a third party, it would indicate weakness, doesn’t mean they don’t, I suspect Rudy was in the Merlin’s pocket and they were looking for a mundane legal frame up.
Ed0517:
I don't know if a blasting rod is necessarily fire related, or that is just what Harry uses it for to focus his cast, because fire is somewhat wild and less controllable. A water mage might have a similar device to control a conjured stream of water, like a hose nozzle with spray, jet, mist, etc. settings.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry is a fire guy, fire has the added benefit of cleansing other magic.
However I wonder why no one has thought of modifying light spells so they are coherent, creating a laser. Now that would be an upgrade of the Blasting Rod.
Snark Knight:
If Langtry is thinking that he's going to set Harry up as a double agent among the Black Council, he's sorely barking up the wrong tree. They've already made their recruitment pitch and been rebuffed.
