They can see any planes within their power to see. Humans can only see the first plane, but magicians wear contact lenses allowing them to see up to plane four.

I thought it was up to plane 3.

The wiki links Gladstone gave are to djinni in mythology, rather than just in the Bartimaeus Trilogy. That's where Stroud got djinni, afrit and marid from.

There are no spirits of earth, because earth is completely alien to how they are - they're spirits, by their very nature free to move around (barring magicians' commands, of course). Earth wouldn't allow that.


Apocrypha, they can only dimly see plane four, but they can see it.

And Water, Air and Fire are not part of Earth? Golems are of Earth. Meaning Marids will proabably own em'.

The are constrained on arrival here, any freedom is lost, they take a form, a affinity for one of the elements of magic.

Bartimaeus prefers to cast Detonations and Infernos, Honorius used Detonations. Marids will be totaly different.

(Element through could mean different things: The classic 'Earth, Water, Fire and Air or Fire, Earth and Storm or even Darkness, Light and Earth. Some belived Light, Earth, Water and Air. Fire being a corrupt form of light. Clarifiction needed)

Ok by I meant a demon type is a demon that can control the sea or make plants grow or something. Demons have a spec domain if you will.

They can see clearly on the 2nd and 3rd planes and fuzzily (is that a word?) on the 4th.

If fuzzily isn't a word, it should be.
