Doesn't matter, our kids are supposed to surpass us, he should be just proud..

Pleaaaaase let it be good! I don't want to cringe, but to have a new author to enjoy!
Snark Knight:
Interesting ... I'm not sure if that's the one Jim Sr mentioned his son working on where the magic system causes slow sanity corruption and the magical enforcers are partnered with a mundane who's supposed to put them down when they eventually go dark, or it's something else.

Well, Jim's Cinder Spires have the etherealists go mad already.... let us wish them the success of Dumas pere et fils.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Same with the practitioners in Charlie Stross Laundryverse and those in Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London Books, strokes and brain haemorrhages. It’s becoming a common literary trope, even in the Dresdenverse magic direct undertaken by the mind is dangerous, that’s why words are used in enacting spells, they provide a framework for the spell outside of the head. Basically with great power comes great mental illness.
Not that that should worry Harry, he has had so many concussions he has to worry more about what going on outside his head that inside it. He really needs something like a spell augmented leather flying helmet he can put on in Battle. Just think how that will annoy the cover artist.
