Guess I nodded off and ended up in the NN for a bit. Or maybe, someone figured something out and was silenced.

Cheers, All!

Just saying it outloud:

When Butters meets Nic in front of Michael's house and the Sword of Faith becomes a lightsaber---Just WOW! The whole scene and really, the whole evolution of Butters is a wonderful part of the Dresden Files. Remember when Thomas described him as a coward? As much as we have a cast of supporting characters in DF, Butters has really grown more than any other character, I think--except maybe Toot.

Anyway--Cheers---Just needed to say it outloud!

Good times!

If this follows as true, then Cowl/Odin performing the Darkhallow was meant to regain his godhood.

Reminds me a bit of Gaiman's American Gods. Won't spoil it, but there's that scene...

I still think Chandler doesn't smell right.

Drakul just makes him fall into a portal to elsewhere/nowhere rather than kill him for food or a new recruit? Bad guy.

I thought it was from another magic user as well.

What is a Starborn? Definitely been waiting to hear about this one.
What makes Malcolm Dresden a Good man according to Eb?
Yes to the rest--Cowl, etc.

While we wait for another story, I thought I'd ask this: What are your top few things you look forward to learning the answers to from all the various topics we've discussed since this forum began?

DF Spoilers / Names
« on: April 23, 2023, 05:52:43 PM »
Just was reading something else and the name, Shiro, came up. It means White. Looked up Sanya, it means Defender of Man, and Michael, who is like or resembles God.

I'm guessing many knew this already, but I thought it was kinda cool.

I mean, Harry says Names are important and have power.

The Archive reminds me of the Bene Gesserit from Dune. I wonder if there's ritual magic that could transfer the Archive's knowledge from one to another.

I get the feeling the Cowl is Harry--Mirror Harry. He's got a magical duster (his Cloak and cowl) and a dog--Mouse's shadow. Feels kinda obvious to me for whatever reason. And Nameless is just Nameless.

Nope. I don't have any evidence to back any of it up. Just my gut...which has been wrong before. lol

Harry charges his rings by punching a heavy bag - are you going to put the bullet in his gloves to charge it up? The propellant in the case has a surprising small amount of kinetic energy - an actual 9 mm bullet is under a third of an ounce. Even Harry's 44 is about a half ounce.

Yeah, the movies mislead most people about the kinetic energy transfer of the bullet (i blame actors, I am with Drax on this) Jim gets this right with Harry’s shield and Duster. The rings absorb kinetic energy from normal movement, they just need to ride around in a pocket for long enough. Speedier recharge is the punching bag.

IDEA-- RE:Harry's inlaid spells on his duster...he rewrites them so that the kinetic energy absorbed is then transferred to some magical foci and redirected towards a foe. We've seen him redirect incoming magics (incoming from the left to redirected with the right? Entropy curse and frozen turkey meet blampire) Just thinking on the fly here. Seems there are tons of things Harry could be doing with the kinetic energy stuff--charging up magic bullets, using the incoming kinetic energy absorbed by his duster to regen his electric ca..uh..hmmm)

Thanks for all the chat on this one. Fun stuff!

DF Spoilers / Magic bullets
« on: December 27, 2022, 02:35:50 AM »
Hi Folks---Hope you're well and enjoying the holidays.

We know Harry uses a revolver. I wonder if he would consider attaching something magical to the bullets he uses. There were the Dragon's breath loads he mentions in one of the books (A Kincade appearance, I believe). He seemed to think there were some cool possibilities. So, how about some magic bullets?

I guess the iron content could already be effective against the Fae, but what about other creatures? Maybe an Outsider?

What do you think?

Thanks, Morris. It's funny...like many of you, I'm sure I've read and listened to the novels multiple times, but I think much gets mushed together over time.

I appreciate you taking the time to add some clarity with the quotes. Thanks!
