Bartimaeus's power

For some reason, people think that Bartimaeus lies about his achievements like how he killed six djinn in one blow and his titles. And that he isn't as powerful as thought to be.
Or, they think his power decreases as he gets OLDER.
What the heck.
I just want you're opinion on this, and maybe your approval.
The worst thing about Barty is that, maybe he brags a little.
Which spirit doesn't?
I think the part about him killing those djinni was true. But then again, he couldn't have been powerful enough to knock down mountains since he's only a middle ranking djinni. I'd say, it's partly truth and partly exaggeration

Yeah; he wouldn't lie to Ptolemy.
What about Tchue? How did Bart survive him without running?
Not that I doubt that he survived him...

Mountains ae just rock. Lot's of it.
I wouldn't judge a being's power just by how we human rank them, isn't that defeating the point then?
Hmm... I think he did all of the things he's said, even the mountain (remember he was younger then), but I think it was harder to do those thing's than what he makes them out to be.
Anyone agree or think I"m a rambling idiot?

I think that he braggs more as he gets older. He is starting to realise that mayby he isnt as powerful as he once was and braggs about his past achivments to make up for what he does now.
you have the power

Odd how people always thinks that Bartimaeus always runs. He's just clever on when to run and when to stand and fight.

yeah he gets less powerful as his age increases i think. memeber when he talks about how powerful and full of energy he was on his 1st summonings? and how that feeling wore off over time?

I hjave to agree with you there. Also i believe that he does have more to bragg about and common sense rules alot of him

Just boasting with exaggeration. He managed to defeat an afrit when he was younger, after all.

ofc! Its Bartimaeus...

After 16 years of life, ive done things that people would think are not in my power to do. Im sure after 5000 years, Bart has done some stuff that seems beyond his capabilities also. He's been in tons of battles, and im sure has been commanded to do things he thought impossible. I dont think its unlikely to think that by some miracle (or accident) he killed 6 djinni at once. Maybe he shot a detonation, missed his target, the detonation got amplified by some artifact, hit a mountain, the mountain exploded killing 6 djinni. you never know. Its a world of magic, nothing really has to seem possible for it to actaully happen.

And Barti doesnt get weaker as he ages, he just gets more weary and cynical from the constant summonings.

Well thats just my 2 cents

I reckon, though his only middle ranking, he could still achieve all he claims. Just remember, djinni are earth creatures, they could move mountains if they wanted I guess.(probably small mountains though...). :cthulhu:

Djinni are fire and air creatures. They hate the earth.

But nothing can stop the golem but taking the parchment out or killing its master.
