... 0 - Wikipedia? As a source? Pardon me while clean the coffee off my monitor... 1 - Personally, from the books I believe that Butcher is trying to convey...
My understanding of the magic/tech problem from the books goes something like this: Magic represents raw, unfiltered life. With magic you can make ideas into ...
I like that. So the fresher the technology, the more vulnerable it is to magic. It fits with the feel of the books, and also allows for the whole "medieval...
Well established tech is just something that the average person knows how it works and push come to shove most people could make. How many people reading...
My Personal Opinion based off of a conversation between Butters and Harry is more like an Aura that acts similar to an Electromagnetic field that disrupts more...
I know the conversation your talking about and I still think that fits with my interpretation. In this case the aura of a wizard intensifies with the more...
That's certainly Butters' opinion. However, for me at least, it doesn't entirely work. For one thing, an EMP pulse is just not likely to break, say, a...
I know a couple of times Harry has jinxed something (security camera, etc) to make it short out. I would think that the effect would be a random role based on...
I would agree that the effects on the game is paramount to most of the gamers out there. But, some of us are just as interested in the philosophy and science...
Agreed. And yes as Harry has learned it can be suppressed. But As he states repeatedly through the books the more stressed, agitated, angry, or scared he is...
As for Dresden philosophy or even in game ideas... Isn't magic a combination of some "Talent" and a mage's will? If so could the effect of magic on technology...
... Which is why I gave the mechanics suggestion of it being a drawback/flaw. Granted, maybe it's one that pairs with taking a sorcery stunt and the...
Ask me another time while I'm wearing my ceremonial magician hat and I might have a different focus, y'know.. lol, what WOULD Henry Cornelius Agrippa (or...
... Agrippa doesn't say much these days, being dead and all... Don Kraig would probably ask you to spell his name right. </joke> I'd look around on the web for...
nay, DMK would be ok with the miss spelling (less chance of true name being used for malfeasance). And I guess talking to Agrippa would violate one of the...
The Dresden Files RPG website has gotten a total reboot. Check out its new form at http://www.dresdenfilesrpg.com/ We've also set up so that the new blog will...
Then why would it only affect technology that has an electronic base Ok This line got me thinking and my view on magic vs Tech, it that the more you remove the...
BJ, I think you make sense. The idea is that magic is part of a wizard's will and soul. It warps reality to their will and intent. The more any item of...
Makes sense to me. But, there has to be some control by the practitioner. For example, with so many things produced more by robot than by humans, wouldn't it...
... I would be inclined to say it is because of the ownership. I own this thing. It has a connection to me, and to my energy. This makes it more susceptible to...

But, then why would Harry always be frying Murphy's computer?...
In the books, Harry is not able to control his impact on technology. The elevator MAY work or may not. He doesn't go to the hospital as he might blow out life...
In one book Harry is on TV. He specifically says that he has to concentrate so as not to make all the cameras and lights pop. So yes he CAN supress the effect...
Lets go back to the concept of technology. Murph's computer is complicated technology that few people understand even when given a diagram or manual. It has...
I think in Harry's apartment, it's the threshold that prevents his jinxing from affecting the other apartments -- it's not a matter of proximity in that case....
That makes perfect sense. A wizard's thresholod or shields and wards protect against jinxes from leaking outside. Otherwise the practicioneers would be easily...
This is agood point however he could focus his will and cause malfunctions. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: "nsolo51" <PHildreth@...> ...
... It probably has to do with the threshold. The apartment above him is not part of the same magical space, it's "behind" someone else's threshold, so it's...
It is not limited to Eletronics, As Herry will not usan autmatic hand gun because it might jam on him. I think that would have to dowith how complcated the...
Thanks, everyone. Forgot about the threshold. Maybe that's why Harry didn't come to visit me when he was just next door at the Hotel Sax in "Turn Coat". In...
