Well, he's only used the gravity crush once, so I doubt he'd lead with it. Energy Drain is hard to convert outside of D&D realm; I guess it makes him weaker physically and magically... But Harry can still get around that with Soulfire.
and what does soulfire do exactly? "makes spells more powerful" i know, but how much? does it mean that when he goes to light a candle he instead destroys the entire building? how has it been used in the past and what kind of power boost does it give? is there any limitation to how much he can use it, or is it just something that's always on and making him more powerful?
also, what were the circumstances that led him to use the gravity attack? was it some great desperation attack? or has he just not had an occasion to use it again?
and i mean, outside of dnd rules translation and just in terms of what actually happens, i'm looking at the page where he spams energy drain on dorukan, and in five uses it took dorukan from unharmed to dead.
Which reminds me, how tough is dresden? what kind of attacks has he taken?
The ultimate example is his first use of Soulfire. He wanted to do a force spell, normal blast of energy.
What he got? Gigantic silver hand that easily held a superhuman adversary (a caster too - a caster that managed to trash a palace of eternal ice made by the queen of winter with the fires of hell, which means HELLA powerful), preventing him from doing anything. There's other examples, too. Soulfire is a massive amplifier for Harry's spells.
