I thought that Nat would have become a very powerfull magicien and stuff with an army of powerfull spirits but he only summoned like, i think his best was a 5th lv djinn, he never enterred the realm of powerfull djiins like faquarl or Jabor I would have loved it if he would have had a Marid or afrit at his disposal to dont you think  yes:getfirefox: lol |

yeah it would have been pretty cool, but again you need atleast 4 magicians to summon a marid... |

Marid

He was still very young, wasn't he? He could do a multiple summons without flinching. |

If he had lived, he might have been able to do it by himself. Did Gladstone summon his afrits by himself or with help? |

Gladstone probably summoned them himself, easily. He was very strong. Silver, Nouda wanted to be summoned. I seriously doubt Makepeace could have managed summoning a higher spirit that didn't want to come single-handed. Nate probably could have summoned afrits easily enough, but there are two reasons I can think of that he didn't: he didn't need anything stronger than he had, until it was too late, and djinni make for more interesting writing because their personalities are more varied. |

Yah! Afrits are more Big and Dumb. And since Nat worked in Internal Affairs, he'd need something that could think on it's feet. |

Afrits still have personalities, they're just not as varied and interesting as djinn, because they're more reliant on strength than brains compared to the djinn. I'd guess most of the jobs Internal Affairs djinn get sent on would require brains more than brute force - after all, imagine Honorius doing the mission where Barti gets attacked by heron foliots. |

Can't you tell I'm a girl? I'm so hurt *jks* And Honarius in particular might be brighter than the average afrit, 'cause he was Gladstone's. He would only get the best. |

He seemed pretty clever. Kinda distorted though from going insane. |
