Yes, Marcone knows that Molly has a relationship with knowledge/technology spirits.
Not that Molly can do divination on her own, or that her personal divination is particularly good.
There's a difference between scrying/divination, and asking spirits to get information for you.
He does not know that.
Like I said, this is Harry's life. The man has survived multiple assassination attempts, and explicitly is aware that there has been a naagloshii in Chicago ever since Molly captured Skinwalker Bob three weeks ago. He went to their previous camp.
Seeker would expect him to be twitchy.
1)If we're using HC, Im expecting much the same.
Aura reading is essentially seeing a part of the thing's soul after all.
One of the occasions where I would rather be safe than sorry.
2) When used as a weapon, MHM can benefit from Occult or Melee Excellency:
And given as the naagloshii is both supernaturally fast and can use ranged spells, MHM as weapon use will probably be essential.
I wouldnt have been interested in a fight without it.
3) Bashing damage takes time to regenerate.
Regenerating 1HL per turn still clocks out to 5 combat turns to replenish 5HLs that you receive from a significant MHM strike.
Nevermind if it does something like pop an eye.
Plus, I am not sure the naagloshii actually has regeneration.
Healing magic to use on itself, yes.
But not automatic regeneration. Not judging from its fight with Listens to Wind.
It may have installed regen in its servants, but it doesnt mean it has itself.
Just like Cowl had no regen but his uberghoul minions did.
