Jim Butcher is a Mantle his son is in Training to take over.
Tinfoil hat:
I always thought of a mantle like being elected president/ PM or becoming a general or a teacher. The mantle are the duties of the post. Like as a teacher you have to maintain discipline in your class. You have wiggle room of how you would achieve it. As a president/PM you personally don't like high taxes and promise to cut them. Bam the mantle of Pm is yours. You cut taxes and the market and economy crash. You end up increasing the taxes. Over time u end up making choices similar to the old guy. I see mantles working the same way. Molly is currently trying to make it her own but eventually she is going to come across a situation where the duties of the winter lady force her to make decisions similar to Maeve. There is wiggle room to make your own impact in the role but at times the only option is the bad one
