Elaine Mallory

Elaine Lilian Mallory is a human wizard. She was apprentice to Justin DuMorne, alongside Harry Dresden. Although introduced through earlier allusions, she makes her first appearance in Summer Knight.

Biography
Elaine has golden-brown hair.

Elaine was an orphan. When she was ten years old, she was adopted by wizard Justin DuMorne, who took her as his apprentice. DuMorne had already done this with another orphaned wizard of the same age, Harry Dresden.

During their apprenticeship she and Harry became very close, eventually becoming Harry's girlfriend. They Soulgazed during their first night together. DuMorne eventually began dabbling in Black Magic, and brought his sights upon Elaine first, her being weaker magically speaking, about a week before he attempted to enthrall Harry. He enthralled her, bending her to his will. Elaine later helped DuMorne in his battle with Harry, slapping a binding on him during the fighting. After Harry defeated DuMorne, Harry scoured the earth with the assistance of spirits never finding her, assumed her dead.

In truth Elaine escaped during the last few minutes of their battle, when DuMorne's attention and power was focused elsewhere, allowing her to break the enthrallment spell. She sought sanctuary with Titania, the Queen of the Summer Court. She resided in the Nevernever until called upon by Titania in repayment for her shelter (nothing is ever free from the Fae), to act a emissary for the Summer Court in the matter of the death of Ronald Reuel, the Summer Knight.

Elaine later makes an apperance in White Night. She has opened her own PI buisness, and is also in the phonebook under 'wizard'. One of Dresden's friends, and a warden, Carlos Ramirez comments on this. Later in White Night, Elaine shows how strong she is by nearly killing Madrigal Raith.

Magic
Elaine is nearly as strong as Dresden but has a finer handle on delicate magic and wards. She can also use Reiki to heal small injuries.

Foci

 * Chain - A chain that stores electricity, aloowing it to be used like a Taser. It can be recharged by Lighting or electricity from a wall socket.
 * Ring - A ring that is a great deal like Harry's original energy ring, only instead of storing back kinetic energy, it stores random short-term memories. These memories can be used to induce hallucinations on an attacker, disorienting them.
 * Thorn Wand - a carved wooden wand which looks like a very large thorn. It functions similarly to Harry's blasting rod, but with lightening.

Spells

 * Aerios: A spell that summons up a miniature twister
 * Fulminaris: A spell that shoots a bolt of green lightning
