Bartimaeus says that he can eat, when he wants to, but how would he prevent his essence from becoming filled?

Does he use a small detonation in his stomach to destroy it?

Does he impolitely leave trails in Mandrake's coat?

Does he even have a stomach?

That is a good point....

Does food just swirl around in his essence?

I think essence is probably acidic, and therefore 'food' will gradually get melted down in Barti, and then becomes part of Barti... sounds nasty, but still...
Think about Barti as one big stomach that has magical powers and can change shape XD

Errr...

Not quite sure what to say.....


... good food for thought.
