Harry’s manual exercise with his weapon has a long history within the pages of the Dresden files. That why this thread keeps going and going.  Harry rarely has a partner for day to day bouts and has gone years between person on person action, and although Murphy was more than willing to show him how to properly use his staff, her demise in Battle Ground  means that unless Lara is going to take him in hand and properly train him in the maritalmartial arts it will be like him and The Titan all over again. Harry got his Spear out in front of her but at the crucial moment he lost focus and was in danger of there nearly being no successful climax to the engagement. He was lucky,  Ethnui had already grasped Odin’s mighty Spear, but it went off in her hand, leaving her shocked and weak at the knees, giving Harry his chance to plough on into her and dominate her through a binding, thoroughly like no mortal man had ever done to her before. Harry got (for him) a happy ending.

I know that as Harry now has the Eye the temptation is that he will seek to mount it on his staff. Now a Wizards staff may have a knob on the end, but he should eschew temptation to do so, if he were to treat it too roughly, the Eye might erupt unexpectedly and rock Harry’s world.

Endurance is the key to keeping this thread up. I can keep it up all day and night, without flagging.

My dear Sir, I never stopped.

It strikes me that Michael would have made a good sparring partner for Harry, but due to injury is now “Mr Once A Knight” although Charity seems to be happy with the arrangement.

Murphy didn't know jack squat about a magical staff.. Odin's Spear went off in her hand by design in my opinion.  Harry lost focus because Ethinu was getting into his head... Martial arts aren't that easy to pull off when you are six foot nine..

Conspiracy Theorist:
Murphy was considered something of a master with a stave, although in Battle Ground she admitted that Bradley would beat her into submission on a regular basis with his weapon. I doubt following the soul gaze though that Bradley will show Harry his technique, and frankly I don’t think Harry could pull it off, even if he did.
