Exactly my point Dark Bob is a wealth of knowledge that Molly is in the best position to use. Don't know why people are getting stuck on just necromancy. Zombies were not what made the Heirs so dangerous.
These are not all the same thing because not all dark power is the same.
Evil Bob is primarily the necromancy guy. That other stuff is no more his wheelhouse than it was regular Bob's. Zombies are entry level necromancy, manipulating death to your advantage is a whole field with a lot of applications.
Ok bad word choice on my part Dark magic not nerco. Every single one of my points still stands with a simple word replacement.
We never see this power or competence in action, but we do see a lot of failure and issues. You're going to need actual evidence to back that claim.
Dark Bob is explicitly the part of Bob that worked for Kemmler and drank the necromancy koolaid. Bob locked the information away so he wouldn't have to be like that, then kicked it out when he could to truly be free of it.
We ask nicely.
This is not true.
This is not true.
This is not true.
Described as a hack by Dresden just about every single time he came up.
So Cowl who doesn't have HellScry Charka misread Evil Bob's intentions and let him go. Seems like a skill issue to me.
It seems that you just fundamentally don't seem to understand that we can read Dark Bob far more comfortably than we can read Lash. You were the one that campaigned so strongly for HellScry Charka. Corpsetaker didn't understand Dark Bob or his intentions we can.
Reading his intent isn't super helpful if he's working at cross purposes with us. Riding herd on him would be more trouble than it's worth.
I do admit to be working under an extreme disadvantage because I don't actually know what Dark Bob knows or would allow us to do*. So it is hard to convince that his vast Dark Knowledge is actually useful. But riding herd on him seems super easy for us. Just don't let him out unless we actually trust his intentions. We don't have any reason to have him wonder around it's not as if Harry ever lets Bob out of his basement.
Why are you arguing the point then?
This is not true.
Evil Bob is not a joking moniker.Ghost Story c43 said:
Almost killed Dresden multiple times.
Yes, Cowl, who stood at ground zero of a Darkhallow misfire and still walked away.
You are making expansive claims about a powerful evil spirit we have only met once, and that once we had no particular success at either putting him down physically or talking him around.
Thank you for listing a few useful skills.
Are you actually trying to argue honestly right now? Next you are going to say that the guy that beat Harry with a tire Iron must therefore be a master wizard.
So Cowl master dark wizard thought that Bob was valuable enough to go to extra trouble to steal. But I don't know why you are talking like this says anything about his ability to control or work with him.
Yes it is an tool that complements all our other tools for dealing with creatures of darkness. Including social skills that let us read Lash who seems far more socially focused. Also why in the world would we have to babysit Dark Bob? Just leave him bound in a basement most of the time like Harry does with Bob.
Why wouldn't we just turn him into a book and keep it in the Five Courts for security at this point?
Mostly because killing a sentient being when we don't have to seems wrong. But also because an archive is far more useful with an index.
Binding and warding are standard things, and never never fortifications are probably under warding. A fair number just use minions, so we don't need help to do it.
Cowl was a master necromancer and Bob was a reservoir of necromatic lore, or course he found it useful.
Dark Bob caught cult-ideology, which is why he dresses up as an SS officer. He as ambitions of his own and wants to do things other than being an encyclopedia.
… He's an actual nazi that doesn't have to kill people but does anyway. Then he does sickening shit to their souls for his advantage.
Molly has her nightmares, but very few things get mentioned as being so sick that they're going to get added in. The intestine macaroni art from earlier in the assault didn't even get the same reaction.
It totally is we have alot of things to kill. But I don't know why Dark Bob's lore is being interpreted as being so narrow. He has been constantly and consistently portrayed as being Bob's equal or better. Which means a whole lot of lore.
No it isn't. Dark magic for DF purposes is a political term for stuff the council doesn't like. Mind magic and necromancy for example don't have overlap. There isn't a generic 'dark energy' you draw on to make this stuff work or something.
Considering how much some of them glaze Kemmler -who is totally dead for real this time guys trust me bro- they probably see Bob as a religious artifact and the closest analogue to Kemmler's brain that exist.
You're oversimplifying. Raising zombies isn't the only thing necromancy does. A lot of stuff does involve controlling the dead, but Kemmler did things like turn necromancy into an apotheosis ritual. You can also probably use death juice to fuel at least some other spells if you know how, like what Dresden does to fuel fire spells with ambient anger.
A bit harder to lock him in jar. Also his type of insanity makes me much less confident on being able to get a good read on him. He could be completely sincere one minute and change his mind the next.
Once more, this site really needs a horrified react.
