One of the forums I visit considers it an impressive achievement to get two consecutive posts on topic.

i dont know maybe he will get his title changed because of some acomplishment in the "other place"

The titles are a measurement of the spirit's power in the human world, so how achievements in the Other Place could change it, I don't know.

I think that it would be very unfaithful to the book if he were promoted.
He is not a very powerful spirit, but he does have a great personaloty.

'"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"'

I agree - it just doesn't really fit in. We've never heard of "promotions" before, and besides, Bartimaeus was (according to Book 3) at his strongest 2000 years before the books take place, and he wasn't "promoted" then.Shadow 7 wrote: I think that it would be very unfaithful to the book if he were promoted.

Barti says in a footnote in the first book that spirits can't get promoted.

So what...this is SHOULD he be promoted not whether CAN he be promoted. I think he should, hes fast, quick witted and with a tinge...oh alrite a whole load of arrogance in him.

Promotion to afrit? Highly doubtful. Promotion to being a higher level of djinn? Possible, but still doubtful.

...Bartimaeus just wouldnt be the same if he was an afrit or a marid...or maybe something even higher. At least, to me he wouldn't.

I agree; he'd be so powerful he wouldn't need his humour. Which defeats the whole point of Barti.
