Well, before I have some ideas, but, how far into the
books are you? 

The magical system in the books feels more like the
ritual magic system explained in B242. you
*definitely* want to make the setting low mana, and/or
require magicians to use foci for their spells
(Dresden's blasting rod and staff, for example).

Bob is an ally, definitely. He has the spirit
meta-trait, but without the "affect substancial"
enhancement that the meta-trait has. I'm not sure how
I'd mold the fact that he can only get out of the
skull with permission (a vow? a dependency? a
compulsive behavior?). He's definitely got Xenophilia
:)

There are a couple of points that need to be adressed
regarding both Dresden and Bob, but that goes into
spoiler territory, so I'll stop for now.
