How powerful is Ivy getting?

<< < (5/5)

morriswalters:
Assuming her brief is to carry out the Oblivion War to a conclusion, then her active involvement in the battle of Chicago seems to put that at risk. Ivy is mortal and can die. If the reader draws no other conclusion from Murphy's death they should realize that random chance and the fog of war can do what directed action might not accomplish. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time could put Ivy at risk of death.

Laying that aside, Ivy isn't all seeing.  She can be blocked.  This is demonstrated by the fact that she was taken by surprise at the Shedd Aquarium.  She never saw it coming.

Harry's put her at even greater risk by driving a wedge between her and Kincaid. Without his protection she at a greater risk then at any point in the series.

Ivy's strength is having at her beck and call everything that practitioners have learned about magic.  Her magic should be perfect, she knows when to use it and what to do with it when she does.  She should be able to draw the last erg of power that she has available. Her power is limited by the human vessel that is Ivy, but in a fight she won't make mistakes and to beat her her opponents will have to be at least that good.

Yes, and it stands to reason that as she matures her use and manipulation of the Archive will get
better and thus she will become stronger.
