  Thanks for the reviews, banner, Rob, dalad, TimeMage, silvereagle, and mrpietan!
  
  I have two ideas for longer works, but both are currently stuck.

  Wow, as usual you have seen something I have missed all along. That whole isolation thing after the tourneyment... It was a stratagem to draw Om out into the open. Have him attack and maybe kill Harry (As DD had been planning all along), revealing himself AND destroying another horcrux. Neat. And thanks for another tale.

  I'm sure dumbles would have prefered Harry to have lived, but if not it would have been a sacrifice(all together now)'for the greater good'

  The story is a bit fast - and i think you intended it that way - , and i love the whole concept of the antimagi, and the battery thing. You need to expand these ideas more and write another fic, more in detail about the post exposition.

  I thought this was boring as it followed the typical crappy cliches which were ridden to death by thousands of bad stories before.

  Oh good. Another story from you, DrT. I see this is a one-shot and it's good (though Amsterdam is still my favorite of your one-shots). Any other stories (or a longer story) coming along pretty soon?

  Interesting. When you think about it, the thing about the phoenix is the eternal life, and their awesome flying abilities. Vol-de-mort, anyone? If that is Light, the whole Canon storyline topples, doesn't it? Rather cool, actually. In both ways.
  
  I love your stories. You write a large world with infinite diversity in infinite combinations, and you write with a touch of grey. There's a "reality-feel" to your stories. You can write the most outrageous things and still make it feel as normal as a botte of ketchup. That's awesome.
  Thanks,
  Vanir

  Vanir: As always, thanks for reading. Glad you liked it. As for 'You can write the most outrageous things and still make it feel as normal as a botte of ketchup. That's awesome.' -- that's a compliment I will always remember!

  Very enjoyable. I did like the new ideas you've thrown into the fic-sphere (Hey! A new word :-). I had an idea of Harry strapping Snape down, and sucking the magic out of Voldemort through his mark, but never got it written. (The other idea was to kill all the marked death eaters because Voldemort was sucking their magic to keep his artificial body going. Also not written).
  
  One problem (but not a big one) was the title. I didn't really catch the equal and opposite reaction.
  
  Laws of magic are an interesting idea, too. JKRs magic is just so illogically put together and in many ways vague that it's hard to actually draft any.
  
  Thanks for the story. Great to see something new from you.

  Third law of magic (from a TV show) - Never get caught in your own reflection.

  The fic evolved out the title, but it did stray a bit, I must admit. Still, if magic can be projected by a mage, it would be absorbed by an 'anti-mage' wwas the basic idea.
  
  Other reviewers: those who liked the fic, thanks for the reviews! Those who didn't, well, you got what you paid for! Best of luck finding stories you like.

  Nice! Short, sweet, logical, and portrays other magicals as non-idiots (quite unlike most of the British ones in canon).

  Author's response

  Thanks for the review! And yeah, there are two ways of looking at the magical world of canon -- they are all idiots, but the Brits are the least stupid (the way many like to think of things, even if they don't realize it), or it's possible that not every magical is as stupid as the ones running Britain and Hogwarts
