It would be great for him to be alive, but even with the boots, not enough energy would he have to get away.

It would have been better in the end for Nat & Kitty to exchange their possesions. Nat should have worn the necklace & Kitty the 7 league boot. Kitty than could have easily & quickly escaped & Nat would have been protected from the staff's wrath. Hey, I forgot the glass & iron! Nat could'nt have escaped that. What a waste of time typing this post.

Can't you see that if Nat wore the Amulet, It would have sucked some of the staff's power, therefore not killing Nouda.

That's wrong. The amulet would not have sucked the staff's power as the staff would not be directed at Nat. Also from the extract:-Nero wrote:It even said so in the book.rubberchickenben wrote: Can't you see that if Nat wore the Amulet, It would have sucked some of the staff's power, therefore not killing Nouda.
'Because', Bartimaeus's voice broke in, 'it's so a powerful charm. It might absorb too much of the staff's energy & enable Nouda to escape. The best thing you can do is to take it, and wear it, and go now.' His voice echoed silently in Nathaniel's head. How's that?
Not bad.
This clearly shows that Bart lied so as to make Kitty wear the amulet. He obviously wanted Kitty safe & knew she had little knowledge of the staff & amulet. Hence this lie to protect her.

Maybe it was made up, now that you bring that to attention. But the staff exploded in all directions. It was mainly to bring all the glass and iron down on Nouda.

Correct. Damage Nouda and bring down the Iron Rain.

Ok technically it wasn't directed at him but still he was holding the staff so if it exploded it still would have hit him. think of it this way. If you are holding a live grenade and your trying to blow someone up who is right in front of you if you just hold on to it the its gonna hit you too.nathanielandbartimaeus wrote:That's wrong.

This clearly shows that Bart lied so as to make Kitty wear the amulet. He obviously wanted Kitty safe & knew she had little knowledge of the staff & amulet. Hence this lie to protect her.
