mr. button was capable of summoning a marid alone but died once because he mispronounced a syllable, i think.

Umm, he was summoning a an Afrit when he mispronounced a verse. He read straight from a sabotaged book, and the four-armed afrit killed him. Rather stylishly, too. He might have done a Marid, but I seriously doubt he could keep it around for long. Constant strain, and all that. |

Wrong bloke. Button's the crazy old magician Kitty works for for a while. |

Ah, the guy that lost his arm to a Marid, also due to a mistake in his saying. Boy, seeing the pattern too? |

Ah, whatever. They each lost something because of (direct or willed) human error: i.e., Button mispoke, while the other, Tallow, who actually summoning either a highe-level Djinni or an afrit, we aren't told which, read straight from the book and was killed by a purposeful error by Jakob's dad. |

the quote button's not working, but someone said on page 1 that nouda was more powerful than ramuthra. this is untrue, nouda only has a larger reputation for being terrible because in AoS ramuthra was summoned (probably) for the first time. nouda is powerful, but is destroyed by the 2 marids in gladstones staff. Ramuthra can distort the elements when he comes to earth, and is equal only to the amulet of samarkand. this is why lovelace was protected while he wore the amulet. |

When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney. Something symbolic in that. It's what fake freedom does for you. | |

Ah. That was quite a long time ago, and we have a dedicated article for the Nouda v. Ramuthra argument. Quite true, regardless. |

Afrits pwn marids. Just to get this clear: TALLOW was killed by the afrit. What happened to Button? |
