Whitwell could still have had an invisible djinni or afrit stood next to her to do the actual work.
The net is an interesting one, though. Perhaps, since it traps spirits as well as humans, it comes under the category of spirit commanding magic, and is therefore something the magicians can do with the correct words? Or maybe there's some object with an imprisoned djinn that can open and close the net at will?


But wouldn't it be mentioned if so many people had invisible spirits doing the magic for them? Right on their hand?

Whitewell isn't 'so many people.' She probably has her own independent style. (And it works for her, doesn't it.)

underwood would not have an invisible spirit and he attacked magicaly lovelace when he had the amulet without an imp so i guess with the right words they can make minor magic

I wasn't reffering just to Whitwell.

Makepeace, Underwood, and other magicians have used magic as well.

Mabye Whitwell had a magic ring or something with a spirit trapped inside.

again underwood would not have a traped entity in a ring so he could attack lovelace so with proper incantations they can do it without demons

Underwood doesn't attack Lovelace himself, does he? He summons a high-end imp against him...

Well, it says their greatest sole power...without it they'd be cheap conjuors....

He does summon an imp, but he also attacks him.

True Ianna. But I dont think that a magicians own power is really that weak, look at Whitwell...even Lovelace. Nat could even cast spells without using demons...

And if memory serves, Underwood sends a blue bolt of energy at Lovelace by way of attack.

Yes Underwood does. And the part in PG when Whitwell sends the blue light out of her fist.
