The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Did I miss something...?
MoroccoMole:
What in the heck is Harry talking about here? This is from BG, when Ethniu let loose with the eye on the northside.
"The world gasped and went scarlet again, red light flooding through the haze of war. The air screamed with unnatural power as the Eye of Baylor unleashed raw destruction upon the city, and my heart took a terrified flutter. I had only once before witnessed destructive power on that order of magnitude, and that had been at the will of the Fallen Angel himself - and even then it had been carefully constrained, user for a purpose."
When did Harry witness the power of Lucifer? Or am I misreading who he's talking about? I don't think any of the nickelheads have shown anything like the power of the Eye.

In the museum where the Archive is held, he talks about the power running thru the walls to fuel the circle.... says it was far beyond anything he'd ever be able to do, even with Lasciel. Think he calls it Archangel level, and says so again in the chapel after Michael is shot. Also says he can only think of one Archangel that would help the denarians. He doesn't SEE Lucifer, but sees his handiwork. Maybe angelic/demonic power is a little different, when they see Michael's safe room it was identified as Angelic... Raphael, or one of his underlings, maybe?

Which underscores the gift that Uriel gave him in that moment, Soul Power. It counters the power that Lucifer can throw around, but at that moment when he suddenly he had it at the aquarium, Harry had no clue of what was happening. To a large extent he still doesn't understand the gift that he was given.
Conspiracy Theorist:
This is why I think Lucifer is ultimately behind the Black Council, with a Denarian who is not Nick, on it. Nick was being used to recruit the Archive, not for the Denarians but for the Black Council.
Lucifer using his power like this has terrific consequences, the reward must be equal to the risk. The Archive is currently aligned with the White God through the Accorded Nations, the Denarians too were part of the Accords at that point, but subsequently left. Lucifers ultimate aim is to replace WG running creation and wants the archive to survive as a bailiwick against the Outsiders, under his wing fighting the oblivion war. The Outsiders want the archive destroyed. Given who the Black Council have targeted I think they want the White Court, White Council and Archive in their camp, the most human of the Accorded Powers

Thorned Namshiel. He uses it in Small Favor. The specific attribution is given by Jake(Uriel) in the Chapel at the end of Small Favor.
--- Quote ---“You gotta think that maybe there’s a matter of balance, here,” he said. “Maybe one archangel invested his strength in this situation overtly and immediately. Maybe another one was just quieter about it. Thinking long-term. Maybe he already gave you a hand.”

In addition this was probably how Thorned Namshiel was able use so much Hellfire at Arctis Tor.
