1)On our first visit to his home, Mathews literally picked out Clippy from inside a purse from across the room against the background of Molly's aura and Dresden's magic everything.
1)No Im not.
While I agree with @Alratan that this is indeed moving goal posts, I'll also engage with this - the ease at which cyberdevils seems to fluctuate strongly. The 1000 years old valkyrie seer wasn't able to detect Black Rider at all, despite literally being inside them for a prolonged period of time.
I'm sorry, but yes, you are. Cyberdevils are dark spirits. That's true. Them being demons should be damn well unknown. They as a species should be less than 50 years old at the moment, their point of origin is an exotic hell realms deep in the NeverNever that doesn't have anything to do with the western world, as far as we know. MInor practitioners aren't going to recognize them.
How is that unfair? If you live in a tower at the edge of town and do nothing to help the people in it when they need you, but do support a brigade of enforcers that will kill them for breaking your laws, then you can't complain if the locals don't think you're helpful and the environment is more dangerous for them than it would be if you were helping.
He still should have known how wide spread they were. Also I'm pretty sure that map had incident pins on it as well but that snip doesn't show it.
Morty is an ectomancer.
1)By your own assertion, you are looking for real estate where market values have fallen because of hauntings.
Note that by the quote, Bob believing that the White Council doesnt know this might well be wrong
Yes. And note that Harry Dresden has always been an unreliable narrator, a baby wizard who has repeatedly been demonstrated to know less than he thinks he does. The White Council has no interests in making it easier for magic practitioners to contact the Thousand Hells, after all, and the temptations therein.
Yes. Our escape from Arctis Tor was a big event, remember?
Doubt that very much.
Not saying they aren't knowledgeable. But you know even a single place like the British isles alone likely has more supernatural stuff throughout history than a single practitioner can know. Much less the whole world and for the yomi book well someone certainly has that information not many must have information towards many hells and be willing to give that info. There's no way anyone has gone through all those hells and written a book available for the council.Sorry. Had to run an errand.
Morty is an ectomancer.
He deliberately keeps a low profile, but according to the Leanansidhe he is as powerful at wrangling ghosts as Dresden is at general magic. In canon, he was Corpsetaker's preferred victim for possession. Dude is no minor.
He advertises himself as a medium.
If hauntings were an issue, dude would have been making mad bank from that source of income.
He wasnt.
1)By your own assertion, you are looking for real estate where market values have fallen because of hauntings.
I assure you that real estate agents care very much about their money, and things that fuck with it.
If this was a thing, exorcists would make a good living.
2)The Chicago Cubs being a bigger business doesnt actually make them more profligate.
Take a look at what US sports clubs pay their cheerleaders.
3)Thresholds are a thing.
By definition a ghost cant enter the threshold of an inhabited private home and do you harm unless you invite it in.
Or unless its hellaciously powerful.
Note that by the quote, Bob believing that the White Council doesnt know this might well be wrong
Especially since this is post-Evil Bob, who presumably took most of the information on demons and necromancy that he learned with Kemmler in the divorce.
In Changes, Ebenezar calls in a favor from what are essentially tengu(Ebenezar called them kenku, Japanese bird people/spirits) to bring an army of hundreds to Chitchen Itza. Thats not a person who doesnt know the Asian spirit world.
Yes. And note that Harry Dresden has always been an unreliable narrator, a baby wizard who has repeatedly been demonstrated to know less than he thinks he does. The White Council has no interests in making it easier for magic practitioners to contact the Thousand Hells, after all, and the temptations therein.
Im not saying the Book of Yomi Wan wont be useful, mind; if there's book(s) out there, its probably restricted, and Dresden certainly hasnt been allowed access to it. Getting him access is worth doing. But it doesnt mean those books dont exist.
Just like the Merlin's diaries are in Ebenezar's possession, not an open magic library.
Yes. Our escape from Arctis Tor was a big event, remember?
Dresden threw Summer Fire into Winter's heartspring. Triggered a recall of Winter's military forces back towards the capital.
That was a big deal. Plue we fought a bunch of Winter fae.
Doubt that very much.
Fae dont have a given lifespan Im aware of, but nothing suggests this one malk was old enough to have seen Enma-O's forces attempt to wield Usum's shard in combat.
Furthermore, Brother Divishmar, who has experience of the shen of Asia, says we feel like an archdevil.
Not something entirely new with infernal overtones.
I believe him.
Explain to me what Pauline was talking about then.
Kattrin demonstrated not all that great senses.
Why would it? You may not be able to distinguish a darter from a cottonmouth, but you can tell they are both snakes.
1)I do not agree.
If they dont live in cities, its kinda hard to keep tabs on the pulse of things if you arent particularly outgoing.
As I understand it, those werent incident pins, just identifying cities.
1) There are some creatures of the NeverNever that specifically have permission to cross thresholds and haunt people.
this is one aspect often overlooked in magical/fictional worlds like that. In very baseline human society and up, numbers are very important. Several weaker humans can overpower a strong one and thus get them to socialize/negotiate with them. In a magical world where a single wizards, hokage, captain, celestial master, etc, can overpower dozens if not hundreds of 'average' opponents single handedly, or substitute them with the ability to generate 'robot' servants (undead, clones, magically brainwashed minions) - the social structure would be much different.
that's what head-cutting is for
. with no accountability of course.I am talking about this:
What. is. she. talking. about? If hauntings are not a thing, what was she staying away from, and, other than semantics, why shouldn't we be getting the list of these properties to cleanse?
1)She has an affinity for spirits.
That is likely the bigger problem. There isn't any ghost buster certification and I bet that there are a lot of frauds out there. I expect that frauds are a big part of the reason the masquerade can keep going. There is real money in scamming and it is likely even more common in DF.
Seems like something that might earn her some XP, too.
Well at least when we are able to spare her some XP she should be able to get discounts for training time.
