Of course Molly bought him his second duster so there are two datapoints for this theory.

his third, i think - by then it was his trademark. Be like seeing Gilligan without his white bucket hat....

I dunno about that - if you force Ferro out, that breaks a TWG Rule, and that might not be Harry addressing, but angels. And not necessarily Uriel, because this won't have to be subtle

or Susan saw the old duster and SHE thought she'd like him in leather.... plenty of mens' fashion choices are actually their woman's fashion choices....

I'd bet he probably could enchant a bullet to spread Winter cold throughout a body as soon as it contacted blood, but any target whose magical defenses he can't overwhelm with the Infriga spell anyway - at much less effort - is probably going to be good enough with shields, veils and kinetic speed boosts that the chances of getting a bullet into them are remote anyway.

Ah, but could he make those bullets AND GIVE THEM AWAY? Tilly or Bradley if he becomes a new buddy might like a magazine or two? Carlos if he comes in from the cold, so to speak? All carry guns. Heck, Harry put them in his own in case he gets caught in another circle like the Shedd. It appears magical charms stay charmed, you just can't pull in fresh.

extraction? Some time, but if you get enough flux, not too much. It would hurt more, but Mab is a tough b1tch. She'd likely thank you for doing it as fast as possible, so long as you at least tried to keep the pain/disability at a minimum

harry could likely model Demonreach, and maybe talk to Alfred, but I doubt summon him. Too much juice thru a mini version. I think the reason they needed Ethniu at the water was Alfred can only be so far from his source of power, the dark well. Can't drive out to Schaumberg and just summon him.

i think Harry is likely less experienced and less skilled than most who have had the job before. Some of the heavies in there were likely taken down by a group of Wardens or the blackstaff. They send a posse.

I doubt a traveling version would be easy to build. Gotta run a lot of mojo thru it to summon Alfred... might slag stuff.

Normal hunting loads are copper jacketed lead. Shotgun slugs or shot are lead. Although they do make steel shot for hunting waterfowl. Military loads sometimes have iron or steel penetrators.

A hollowpoint cavity could have a steel or silver bead dropped into it and epoxied into place making them deadly to weres or fae.

Why glue steel? Buy AP rounds. Steel already installed. the Fae have been known to wear armor too. Silver maybe.

Harry, with a reloading press, making bullets... and popping them into a centrifuge to power them up with some kinetic energy? Wonder how long a shelf life for the extra KE.

Pull iron filings out of a body with a rare earth magnet? Would hurt like heck, but she'd heal.

This makes me wonder about the containment process at Demonreach, not a circle, are the crystals in fact one way pocket universes? Once in you can’t get out, that would make the Warden effectively the White God in relation to the inmates.

We saw minimum security. Ethniu is likely one of the heavier hitters - did we ever see Max Security? could be circles, crystals, or both.

"They" don't got anything of the sort.  Maybe Odin does.

But, as you recall, Demonreach is sitting atop a major leyline confluence, and it was "simultaneously" constructed in 5 different times all at once.

Pretty sure Ethniu is gonna spot that happening (and trivially avoid it).

The question is more:  of the circles that might reasonably have been constructed, what might have been useful?

We don't know who made MacFinn's circle... or where they got the plan.  If they could get the plan... and need more than a regular circle - use the big boy. 

Would Ethniu notice a circle that had not been empowered? you have to know when to plug it in.

OF COURSE Odin has unmatched surveillance of Chicago. He has to know if you are sleeping, or if you are awake, or being bad or good, for goodness' sake!

Hollowpoint bullets & shotgun pellets of iron instead of lead wouldn't even need spellwork.
They'd still take down a mortal almost as well, but they'd be deadly to the fae.  Not even Mab could survive an assault-team so armed (unless she knew ahead of time, and could avoid ever being in their gunsights).

Might not want a hollowpoint. The only thing that affects the Fae  that much is the steel. The outside of your bullet is not steel. It's lead, maybe copper. Steel will not take the rifling, and will be inherently less accurate. I don't know a pistol round is big enough for a sabot, so you have the point/penetrator similar to an AP bullet. THAT you make from steel. Actually could be less deadly to humans, as it could well overpenetrate.

Steel shot is a thing. Some areas ban lead shot, and you can get steel shot OTC.  Beats down your barrel faster, but you'll get a few battles. Sabot slugs are a thing too.

Theoretically if Harry had someone’s blood, he could make a seeker bullet which would be attracted to a target, and could be fired around corners, but if he has their blood, why bother? Bullets work largely because they are mundane, they break magic circles and transfer kineric energy to the target. Harry could use a variation of the enchantment he put on his rings on bullets increasing massively the kinetic energy of their impact or releasing it inside the target, but they would literally be a one shot. Maybe worth it to have a speed reloader full in his pocket for special cases. Genowskwa, or 13th Hunstman killers. Better yet Ghouls. A single bullet Centre mass won’t kill a Ghoul, (even Harry’s big revolver) but one which set off one of Harry’s ring spells inside the ghoul would probably blow a hole in it the size of a bowling ball, and definitely stop it. Harry would appreciate that. Ghoul killers it is then.

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.

There is a WOJ on this.  It's gone.  Water would have washed away the magic. In any case as of Battleground there is at least one and possibly 2 other versions in the books.

Drop a ceiling beam on it too. Squish it good. House likely collapsed

Uriel’s and the Mothers are beings which exist in multiple realities as a single being, any circle in a single reality is only attempting to capture a fraction of them as a being, most of them are outside the circle breaking its line. It’s not just a question of power.

I thought we had WOJ there was a set of Mothers for each universe - but ONE Uriel
