Djinn is a general title, and the rank DJINNI is seperate... perhaps the most frequently used?

I think that that is correct.
'"That's right," I said "Me. What, did you think that I'd be all nice and quiet for you? Think again, sonny. There are two of us in this body now. Check this out."
To prove my point I lifted one of his fingers and methodically picked his nose. He uttered a squawk of protest. "Stop that!"'
I lowered the arm. "That's not all I can do if I put your mind to it"'

Does it matter what djinn and djinni is? Djinni is a rank and djinn is more than one, I believe...

Anyway, for the Detonations...I believe imps and higher could do it, but it wouldn't be powerful in the slightest with an imp.

Dismemberment is the way to go.

Imps are cannon fodder, i believe. Kitty took out a Foliot with apparent ease.
What about the other spells? I've never seen Bartimaeus use a pestilence or illusion... ;)

barti uses illusions (concealements anyways) but I think that the pestilences are reserved for afrits or greater.

Hey, new thought. Can a magician do anything? Besides bully poor Bart aroud? I read somewhere they can 'invoke rapid fluxes'

by trapping demonds in sticks and making them use detonations out one end.

actually this interests me. come to the thread "magic" and let's discuss it.

Magicians can cause pain to spirits in various ways, but I don't think they can attack themselves. Mind you, Whitwell appears to cast a Shield in Gate.

No. here's the quote "And Nathaniel learned to protect himself by invoking rapid fluxes to carry hostile magic away" Golem's Eye.

And where exactly is this magic threand? Can't find it.

I didn't remember it specifically stating that, but it certainly makes most sense.

Possible Spoiler for Gate...


To quote Gate 'Whitwell screamed an order; a shimmering blue Shield rose up around her body' (p 367, American edition)




End Spoiler


I think we can safely assume it was her...But anyways.

"Screamed an order" Not an incantation. an order. Before doing so she had summoned an afrit. 2+2.
Whitewall had used a shield type thing to seal Nathaniel in Book I. No demon there.

She did? Hm, I don't remember that. But it's been forever since I've read that. I always assumed she had ordered her afrit to create a Shield.
