SF-08 | Why isn't Thaumaturgy Weaponized More Often?

Download MP3
This week we're exploring chapters 15, 16, and 17.  Harry is at his lowest point, blaming himself for Linda's death, lying to Murphy, and then, having his hair stolen by one of Marcone's thugs!  The final chapter of this episode examines the first time we see a wizard going 'all out', as Harry blasts his way into the Varsity to confront Marcone.

 Finally, we dive into our question for Bob this week: Why don't we see Thaumaturgy used more against Dresden?
