Can Demonreach do this?

(1/4) > >>

Lord Kinbote:
Release Thomas but keep imprisoned his demon, the one that makes him a White Court vampire?  That would effectively make Thomas human again.  I believe there's a hint somewhere in canon that separation is possible.  Why not DR as the instrument?

That would make for a nifty but conflict-laden solution to Thomas' status/prognosis.  At the end of Battleground, it's stated that Thomas is on the verge of death and wouldn't survive being released from DR unless he can immediately feed on a human to the death.  But I can't see Harry letting that happen even if Harry hated the human in question, but such a release and feeding undoubtedly will be what his 'intended'/'wife' will demand. 

But if DR can separate Thomas from his demon, Thomas isn't available to make that call (basically because he's unconscious unlike other DR inmates).  Would Harry take on responsibility for making that call on his own?  Lara would be vehemently opposed.  More conflict.

Also, can DR separate the One Who Walks Besides/Nemesis/Nemesis infection from its host like Justine?  And DR keep OWWB/N/N infection as a prisoner?

BTW, not clear to me at all how the OWWB/N/N infection works.  I can't believe the OWWB is wholly encompassed within Justine (and  was once wholly encompassed within Harry's godmother), and that others can't be simultaneously infected. 

Conspiracy Theorist:
It would kill Thomas, his Demon is the only thing keeping him alive.

Demonreach can parole a prisoner, Harry could release Ethnui but bound to his orders, so he actually has an island full of superweapons not just an armoury. He can probably separate a Mantle from the holder, and release the holder without the Mantle, but this would result in someone like Molly being left incapable of functioning as a human being. Same dilemma as Susan, same solution. An unravelling of the Mantle.

Thomas needs to be released and fed immediately with the richest most inexhaustible life force available, a normal human would not be enough, it would kill them and would be a deal breaker. The Winter Lady, an immortal might do it, and would probably survive the ordeal. Mab would be even better and would definitely survive. As Mab one said about Thomas becoming the Winter Knight “Human enough” so I suspect it goes both ways, Mab and Molly both originally human are probably “Human enough” for Thomas to feed on them. Mab would probably approve of having the human sucked out of Molly.

Harry has The Shroud, so he could use that to sustain Thomas during the feeding.

EBRIEN:
Just need a Bigfoot.

Ed0517:
I tend to think Demonreach is a blunt force object, and removing the demon is a delicate operation. It needs a scalpel, not an ax.

I think Demonreach has the power, but it must be linked to a Warden with the skill to perform the spell. Currently that is beyond Harry's level.
