Lara Raith marriage consummation

Doesn’t stop them wanting one, as Thomas demonstrates. He can cast an illusion about himself and use tracking spells, the former Harry himself wasn’t good at until he had to tutor Molly. That is probably proof the Raith’s have a good magical library, and gives the potential for his child with Justine to me a talent as well as a Whamp.
The Black Court magic users in Battle Ground seemed powerful enough, were they turned Wizards? Turned by Drakul rather than another Blamp?
Ed0517:
Powerful is a relative term - compare Thomas TO his relatives. Harry and Eb. Thomas is but a wee little bairn.
the Black Court are former humans. Mavra early on was above Harry's ability to take out, save perhaps with his death curse. Whites are a separate breed. You have to be born a Whamp. Reds might have spell ability too
Conspiracy Theorist:
Bianca was learning magic to advance in the Red Court, Blamps probably can’t do a death curse, Mavra whilst a lesser talent than Harry has had centuries to hone it, which is presumably the same for the other Blamp Wizards,

Red Court vamps could be sorcerers. We know that Bianca learned some tricks from Mavra and we saw that Duchess Arianna wielded considerable magical strength; though without as much skill as Harry had, in their duel at Chicken Pizza.

Did Thomas cast an illusion spell on himself? It's been a while since I read that short story, but I thought the enemy he was chasing put that spell on Thomas, so Harry would target him. I could be wrong though.
If Thomas did cast an illusion spell on himself, that is actually impressive. It's a subtle use of magic and not something a sorcerer would normally do. Sorcerer's tend to like to smash things, blow them up or burn them down. Thomas using an illusion spell would show him to be more of a thinker than Harry gives him credit for.
Conspiracy Theorist:
We have to be careful with the Reds, they had hijacked the Mayan belief system so power may have been cascading downwards rather than inherent to the practitioner, they may have been conduits rather than practitioners or a combination of the two. Michael for example is not a practioner but has been a conduit for the White God. The Reds may have been doing something similar, but we will never know now,
