XVI

Murphy is a normal cop. Under no circumstances will she become a wizard, or know more about wizardry than Dresden.

 

XVII

Just because Thomas is a vampire that does not make him all powerful. He has the same abilities as any other White Court vampire. He is not even the most powerful White Court vampire. He is still young and in no way greater than his sister.

XVIII

Thomas and Justine will not discover some secret uber magical means to be together.

 

XIX
The Fallen Angels that were sealed within the thirty denarii coins fell from Heaven for a reason, they are not nice, kind, or lovable in any way, shape, or form unless it suits their current plan(s) to act in such a manner.

XX
The Knights of the Blackened Denarius are a, relatively, secret group. As such their existence should not be known by every schmuck who has, at the very least, the barest hints of magical power and/or knowledge of the non-normal world.

​

 

XXI

The Denarian coins will not make someone more powerful than Dresden or any other experienced wizard within a day, that's what cocaine's for.

XXII​

Bob is an immortal spirit of air and knowledge who at some point in the past pissed off Mab enough that he has spent several centuries hiding in a skull. He has never been a mortal wizard named Hrothbert of Bainbridge, and even if he had, is only interested in humans sexually as far as X-rated romance novels and college orgies go. This means he has not, does not, and will not possess Harry for the sole purpose of jerking Harry's lonely wizard-self off.

 

I believe we can conclude that he is only interested in human females sexually, for the sake of avoiding slash. He is just like every other male knowledge fountain who happens to be a voyeur in his free time, with the exception of being able to possess people.

(for that matter, if computers could work around Dresden, he'd spend an inordinate amount of time on adultfanfiction.net)

EDIT: Law XXIII

Computers and other post WWII technology have never, do not, and will never work around wizardry. There is no secret spell that some nitwit took to the grave that Dresden will use to change this. Bob will, therefore, never actually visit aff.

 

There actually is a spell that Dresden made that allows him to be around electronics. He used it in Death Masks when he appeared on the Larry Fowler show, remember? I think it's just really hard to hold together or something though.

 

Yeah, forgot about that bit . However, there is not something he uses on the computer itself (arguably a far more sophisticated piece of equipment than a camera/microphone, and by definition much, much closer to Dresden) that requires no upkeep and concentration; else he would use it on his car for some air conditioning.

From what I understand of canon (correct me if I'm wrong, still trying to get ahold of books 6+), nothing magical lasts forever. The shield bracelet only works for a little bit at a time, the magic muffler requires constant upkeep and focus (the latter of which is almost impossible for Dresden ), tracking spells last until dawn, the rings use all of their energy at once, and so on and so forth.

 

There's absolutely no evidence to prove that Harry couldn't use the suppression spell so he could get on the computer or have air conditioning. It's just like you said; he could use the spell in his car or around a computer, but it's an extremely difficult and trying piece of delicate magic. It requires complete focus and control of emotions so it won't break. Way to much effort unless you absolutely need to use it.

But, yeah, there's no spell used on the actual equipment, only a spell he uses on himself.
