The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
If you were a Minor Talent?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry would make a fairly decent Necromancer, (an oxymoron) enough Necromancers have commented such.
However Mort is far and away a better Ectomancer than Harry could be an Necromancer. He is closer to being the finished article than Harry. Harry admits that Carlos is more technically accomplished than he is in BG, Thats the difference.

I'm pretty sure we have WoJ on this, and I think we may even have Harry admitting it.

Harry also says this; and doesn't really exclude himself.
But it helps tremendously to be self-aware about it, and open to learning.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mort may actually be the strongest of all mortal practitioners in spirit, not just minor practioners, but all wizards including the Senior Council.
That certainly would be a reason for the White Council to belittle him, to keep him frightened and to make him waste his talent, when that talent they do not understand and fear.
I could see him being a future candidate for Soulfire, we know he was working with Harry and Mr Sunshine to allow Harry’s ghost to protect Maggie without going mad.

Honestly, I don't think they (as a group) understand ectomancy, or Mort, well enough to put in that effort to "keep him down."
They've dismissed him in their own minds, so they see no need to spend the effort.

That sounds interesting... and rather terrifying, actually.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yes I suspect a Soulfire powered Mort could make a ghost a really durable ectoplasmic body one which could survive dawn, and extreme damage.
