Not necessarily so, someone or thing had plans for the young star born.  Actually Justin could have killed Malcolm, since he did or nearly enthrall Elaine, Justin knew mind magic.  We still don't know the cause of death as written on a certificate somewhere, all we know is supposedly Malcolm died with a smile on his face.  Lord knows what a warlock could do with mind magic.  We've seen what the Corpsetaker can do, she nearly killed Harry with it.

True, but if a Raith went after Malcolm, they'd want Margaret's son dead for sure.

 My money would be on Justin getting Harry isolated and desperate in the system so he could swoop in and 'save' him as the more likely candidate.

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.

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

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.

I mean be real here people, harry didn't beat eb -not really- he tricked him into fighting a hologram made by the winter lady while he got out of dodge.

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.

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
