I see it more like the Jack Knight Starman (google image search and you'll see what I mean). He doesn't sit on it like a witch, or get yanked through the air like Thor does by Mjolnir. The spear sets up a sort of field that lets him ride currents of magic. When the currents are weak, he can use power from the spear's reservoir like an outboard motor.

Wow, I just read through the first Book the Demon cycle and I can't wait to read the second book (as soon as I finished my exams xD). My question is: in how far have you been inspired by the "real" religions, during the process of creating you "own" religion(s) in your novels? There are so many references I see (as a theology student), that I really wonder whether they are on purpose or not.
