DF Spoilers / Re: What the heck was Justin *UP* to??!?
« on: August 18, 2022, 10:06:07 PM »
Pesonally I don't think Justin was Nemesis'd at all.

Remember, we never get any actual indication that hhwb was actually sent by Justin, Harry just assumes that because hhwb mentions him.

hhwb was definitely trying to manipulate Harry in that fight, and the last thing that Justin said before he decided to suddenly drop old-school indoctrination for magical enthrallment was that he had enemies and needed people he could trust.

Methinks he got wind of a walker looking for him and decided he needed his pet starborn ready yesterday.

One thing I'd like to point out is that Justin was apparently part of Maggie Sr's little Injustice League back in the day:

Quote from: Blood Rites
"The Council knew that you were the son of Margaret LeFay. They knew that she was one of the wizards who had turned the Council's own laws against it. She was guilty of violating the First Law, among others, and she had . . . unsavory associations with various entities of dubious reputation. The Wardens were under orders to arrest her on sight. She'd have been tried and executed in moments when she was brought before the Council." "I was told she died in childbirth," I said. "She did," Ebenezar confirmed. "I don't know why, but for some reason she turned away from her previous associates—including Justin DuMorne. After that, nowhere was safe for her. She ran from her former allies and from the Wardens for perhaps two years. And she ran from me. I had my orders regarding her as well."

So there's a possible angle to consider there

The Archive should be one of the richest people in the world. She has every bit of information ever recorded in any medium other than the mind at her fingertips. Just think of having access to every Bitcoin in the world, every lost treasure map every secret formula/recipe and how you could leverage that. 

She has everyone's credit card details, we're lucky Ivy is a nice girl

Harry and not asking questions he knows he really should is one of the series most iconic duo's, right next to Harry and blunt force trauma.

As far as Molly's facour goes, I think it's more limely to come into play when she needs him to obey a command she usually couldn't give- like, say, one that contradicts an order Mab gave him.

He 'won' in that the illusion Harry (which was all Molly's work) distracted Eb for long enough that he couldn't/wouldn't chase Harry any more.

but that is not "fighting Eb to a draw" (which is what was said, and is a gross overestimation of Harry's abilities). If Harry had actually tried to throw down with his Grandfather, he'd probably look like crushed raspberries.

I bet they have so many because angels are bored af because they aren't allowed to do anything and watching over a dude they're never allowed to help is still better than that.

Actually, Harry is exceptionally good at magical craftsmanship.  Bob says most other wizards couldn't have created Little Chicago, for example.  And most of Harry's substantive magical growth (tutoring Molly... being trained by Mab...) happened after he created LC!

I bet (for example) that if Luccio trusted Harry -- and Harry would put in the time -- she could tutor him to make new Warden Swords; in fact, once his mundane skills as a smith were good enough, I bet Harry's swords (even without Soulfire) would be at least as strong as Luccio's... of course, just getting the skills would probably take well over a decade of devoted work.

He's just usually too busy, with higher priorities (although that's likely just a lack of judgement).


But no... Luccio isn't likely (nor Harry) to be able to duplicate Angelic-caliber Soulfire!  If she were that strong, Peabody would have fried his own brain when he tried to mentally-coerce her.


It doesn't really matter that Harry is talented at enchanting if he never does it.

Harry has this super cool ability that theoretically lets him do all kinds of shit and he's just like "What if my fire did more damage?" "What if my ice was harder?" "What if my illusions were slightly more realistic?"

He could be using Soulfire to do shit no other Wizard can do, but instead he just uses it as a crutch to make up for the fact that he sucks at being a Wizard because he's more interested in practicing his Parkour or building up his thews.

Yeah, it's interesting to speculate what a cool ability like Soulfire could do in the hands of someone that had a little imagination instead of a two-bit dropout sorcerer who's just like "But what if I made the fireballs I'm shooting do slightly more damage???"

Like, Luccio is a master Smith, I bet she could use Soulfire to give everyone a lightsaber instead of just Butters.
Who knows what someone like Eb or Langtry could do with it.

doesn't sound very minor to me. Get this guy in the right spot, and front run acquisitions and the like?

I mean that's kinda on point for "minor talents" in the DF. Mort is a minor talent, but give him a Wizard'S ghost, and he can do anything a Wizard can.

Wizard's just like to dismiss non wizard's because they're all arrogant as fuck

I think you mean Lacuna, not Mab.

Okay Disney played both sides, dealing with Summer and Winter in establishing the Magic Kingdom, calling in the political favours from his previous films like Snow White, but the Magic Kingdom ended coming out in Summer, offending Mab, who retaliated. The Sword In The Stone was Disney’s Revenge.

The fact that Sarissa loved the Magic Kingdom would certainly indicate that the Summer Lady Mantle chose correctly over Molly and Justine.

Oh damn, that would've been a disaster huh. From one Nemfected host to the next.

Tbh I thought that Mab would be a fan of Walt, seeing as his company has convinced the last few generations that Faeries are kind, helpful, and trustworthy creatures.

It must have made life sooooo much easier for her.

Yeah iirc being able to use your third eye is one of the markers that you're a Wizard-level Talent

Honestly, I think the Jade Court was an afterthought, a throwaway line Jim for a bit of setting-fluff that Jim never really thought about, nor planned to ever develop.

And then they got brought up in literally every Q&A or interview he ever did for all of time...
