I would have said wind for the early books, lightning shows up in Storm Front and technically Fool Moon true, but it's hardly a motif. I don't think he uses it again until Turn Coat against the skin walker, and then in Battle Grounds.

Don't know if you have read the short stories or not, but Harry has used "earth magic," I've forgotten which story now, but it is one of the most powerful forms.


--- Quote ---It's also worth noting that Dresden uses the mantle kind of constantly, especially in the last two books. He's taking advantage of the physical power an skill it gives, for one thing, and every single instance of ice magic we see is the mantle. Dresden on his own has 0 skill with ice evocations, that's entirely the mantle, not his own magic. The reason he hasn't tried experimenting is probably because, in addition to being concerned about the mantle's influence, he just hasn't realized there's more to it. The man can be insightful about magic, but he can really miss the obvious when it comes to applying it (see his total failure to use soulfire, which solidifies his spells, for anything but the most ephemeral fire evocations instead of like, a shield). Still, I think his current use of it is a far cry from "emergency situations only". Ice almost gets more use than fire these days.

Harry is gaining more insight into Soul Fire, which he needs to do to use it properly.  He hasn't that much to go on other than it was gifted to him by Uriel, who was very vague on the subject.  Harry did ask Bob, but as he pointed out in Cold Days, some things Bob doesn't know that much about.  In Cold Days up against Mother Winter Harry begins to get a first inkling of what Soul Fire is and more importantly what it means.  Look as much as we want to know two books ago about this or that, it isn't good story telling to reveal everything at once.

Butter' s theory makes sense given the info he has. And everything he sees just shows him how scary THE WK IS.
The WK IS more powerful than anyone including  Butters thinks. I think he is in the same range has most Fae Eldest.

Thank you, I think.  But I'm just trying to think like the character would think.  As Harry says, his nerd .... er junk is larger than everyone else's.

No, he says Waldo Butters' junk is the biggest.

Conspiracy Theorist:
I am quite sure that by Battle Ground it is much smaller due to wear and tear…..

1 of my favorite things is people calculating feats eg Deathbattle
On that note, Harry does ruin dnd campaigns with the wolves by calculating how much energy each feat such as a fireball would take. Will and friends dont like it
