Ok.
Jabor is described as very very strong.
Three instances:
1. Survived Tower of London incident, with Horlas. They're supposed to be invulnerable once out of the portal.
2. Seemed exceptionally resistant to rift. He survived longer close to it than other things. This can be because he started out farther, but he seems to be strong enough to resist it very well.
3. Described by Bartimaeus in Ptolemy's Gate: "...he wasn't moronically strong to the point of near-invulnerability..." (Describing Parquarl, see below)

Jabor is described as a Djinni, very high level, apparently stronger than Faquarl.
Is he really something of a Demi-afrit?
Demi- is a Latin prefix meaning "Half," and is generally described as thing close to, but not exactly.
Demi-Aftrits seem like right in between Aftrits and high-level Djinn.
Makes sense, right?
My question to all of you is as such:
Do you think Jabor is a High-Level Djinni or Demi-Afrit?




Full quote(From memory, so bear with me)
"nor was he moronically strong to the point of near-invulnerability, like Jabor, or like Tchue, who barely had to lift a finger, so frightening and inventive were his words. No, Faquarl was a good all-around..." (My memory fails me at this point, so there you go. I'm at school fyi)

THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING TO SAY?!
:P
But Dansariki, this isn't going to pile up fast because not a lot of the regulars post in the actual Bartiforums anymore. Don't know why.

Quite.
I never expected it to pile up quickly, It's a specific question.
All the big ass topics are big cuz they're general.

If they aren't on the forums, they aren't looking at the PMs.
Email maybe?

Mindless destruction can be such a wonderfully refreshing way of looking at things.
