Would this give details of our abilities? It seems like choosing or using her crown of power would qualify as a milestone, and if he gets context about it they could be a problem.

Molly does not think so, the examples he has used are all about broadly accepted milestones or qualities so she suspects that the spell is leaning on the collective unconscious to propagate. 'Using a specific magical power' is not something most people would see as a milestone.

Though seriously chances of him exploding with a soulgaze?
Probably less than Harry did, for one thing he knows more about mind magic than Harry and for another he is much older which means even more mentally resilient.
First time Harry soulgazed back in the very beginning he needed to pass a dc9 willpower check. atleast 1 sux for no permanent damage and atleast 3 to be functional short term. He passed with flying colors.
The Merlin is better then Harry but Molly has also grown a wee bit since then so... probably ok?
If our subjects count he'd probably get a truly ridiculous number, because it should arguably be counting all the people who ever lived in the history of the FCF and not just the 5 billion alive right now.
There's also all the demons too.

[x] Yes, after all he may not know it, but you can find out a lot more about him
But if he did that, he'd stop being the Harry Dresden we know and love!
I mean, I expect his divination to give dual results. One for mortal Molly, one for Primordial Molly. With height in thousands of kilometers, place of birth being Malfeas / Autochtonia, etc.

So, would now be a good excuse to perform a divination of our own? Not necessarily one targeting the Merlin, but maybe something more generalized. We know that there are no traitors among Langtry's entourage, but we didn't ask for the names of Nemesis hosts, and I don't think our Crown would have identified them as such if they weren't actually working against the Council yet.
To avoid burning future Crown questions, we could use Mac's pub as a focus to ask if anyone present, or anyone who they know or have interacted with, is a victim of Outsider possession or control. That not only covers the WC crew, but also Harry, who has met Thomas' girlfriend Justine, IIRC?

I mean if looking at an angel can explode a human mind what about a world soul?

I mean any one who regularly breaks one of the laws is definitely against the council my man. Nemesis infected definitely are breaking some of said laws.

Not necessarily. Justine doesn't have the capability to violate the Laws, since she's a muggle, and even an infected wizard isn't just going to jump immediately into full warlock mode. A deep cover asset would probably even deliberately avoid doing anything to attract that sort of attention.

Dual results would make sense, having multiple real bodies is perfectly the norm for Primordials, even not counting their various souls, and those souls own souls.
Malfeas is both an incomprehensibly large city in the form of a nested dyson sphere with an unknown number of layers (hundreds at the minimum), he is also the Brass Dancer dancing through the streets of his own Jouten. (Population in the trillions)

"Thou Shalt Not Open Seek Knowledge Beyond the Outer Gates" if their nemesis infected and a member of the white council their traitors.
People have been inside Molly's world-soul and they seem fine. If anything the fact that you have one now should make soul-gagzing marginally easier to do as the wizard sees the very much comprehensible soul-scape with shapes and colors, landmarks and cities and not the inner workings of an exaltation and how they interact with the memories, hopes, dreams and fears of the Exalt

That makes no sense, dude.
Just off the top of my head, I can think of three people (Maeve, Justine, and Lea) who ended up with Nemesis infection through the actions of others rather than any deliberate transgressions of their own.
Are you really ignoring the 10 strength or the innate countermagic or the 8 damage agg plasma cannons or the armour.
And before you say he will be veiled they could easily be equipped with that cream that pierces illusions. Or have sensors that are not effected by viels like echo location or seismic sensors.
Liie it will die in 2 or three shot hitting it. I pretty sure it won't be able kill a dozen guys without being hit.
Also they could just as easily be hit mark 10s. So higher skills and abilities to use solid equipment and like 12 armour die.

Ten strenght or damage 8 cannons are meaningless if you don't hit, that's why Dex is the godstat.
And countermagic is also meaningless, because the Naagloshii doesn't primarily attack with magic, but uses physical attacks for the most part.
If you have to make a comparison between between what a Wizard can do to hide and what a single Formori-power or technical gadget can do to detect, I'd give it to the caster every time.
Eh.
He can easily kill one or two, break contact and ambush again.
I agree that if he just charges in and lets 12 guys shoot at him he dies, but he is very much not the type to do that against anything dangerous.

I mean so what their still actively doing it? Also none of those are white council wizards.

Better IMO to be honest and straightforward wherever possible, especially when letting people "trust, but verify".
@DragonParadox, for the purposes of this divination, would every lifeform that has ever been in our world soul count as our "children"? Including non-sapient or even microscopic organisms? If so, does such a divination risk "overloading" Merlin with extreme quantities of information about each and every "child", or even just the sheer varieties our offspring come in - thus (at least from the outside) appearing as if we are attacking him through some kind of mental DDoS and thereby potentially harming our diplomatic efforts and the friendly image we seek to convey? Or would such a preliminary or board divination just report back a hilariously, absurdly huge number if those born in our world soul count as children? I'm pretty sure based on how Merlin described it, it would be the latter case, but I figure its better to be certain lest we give Merlin a literal brain aneurysm instead of a metaphorical aneurysm.

I don't think the total count of all citizens in the history of the FCF is going to be more than double the number alive now. I could be wrong, but I expect that when anything other than careful ritual suicide at a particular location will result in you coming back from the dead, most people won't perform that ritual.
