Bartimaeus's power

General Discussion
He talks too much, even when he should be quiet.
Good point. Any other?

The only time he hushed was when he was talking to Kitty in PG
Ya. That's got to be the first time Bart kept quite in a century. And that's kitty's magic. She seldom allows others to talk when she does.

I was amazed at how long he was silent!

A minute is quite a feat for him. I don't think he'll beat that any time soon.
Maybe if you chained his mouth shut.

Impossible.
He'll break out of em. :D ;)
Yeah...chains...duct tape...um...what about that stuff they used on Fenrir?

Need to tie his hands. Remember in AoS how he unlocked the door?
Yeah. It would hard, let's just say. Near impossible.
Completely impossible to keep Barty quiet. So it's really funny to see him with Kitty. He keeps getting interuppted by her. Poor boy!

I'm moving on now...
How heavy do you think Bart can hold? 1000 tons?
It has to be a lot, remember he threw all that stuff at the golem...

The chains that held Fenrir were magical and crafted by the Dwarves.
They break during Ragnarok, the battle to end all battles, where the Gods fight and death surrounds the Battlefield.
Just fyi.
1000 tons, Eh? 2 Million pounds...
Nah.
The Rosetta stone (black rock w/ incriptions on one side) weighs in at 1,676 lbs, not exactly a feather, and Bart could toss it like a softball.
I'll get a hundred tons or so. Maybe two to three max.

Of Note: The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, and was created during 196 BC. Written in Demotic Egyption, Hieroglyphic Egyption, and Classical Greek, it was essential in decoding previously undecypherable scripts in Egyption. Been in British Museum since 1802, and decrees the following: Repeals of various taxes and orders to erect statues in temples, by Ptolemy V.

Er...thanks for that bit of history.
Welcome back!
I'd say 7000 pounds
It is really hard to guess. Do you think he would get stronger when, say, he became a roc or something or his strength is always the same?

Yeah, I bet. Or if he was smaller, he could concentrate more on strength and not on his form.

Doubt that bit.
His forms do put some limit on what he can do.
A dog can't fly without wings.
If he flys without wings, he has to use energy.
Remember how he said in PG that Flying takes a lot of energy?
That why you use a form that has wings.

And thank you.
Good to be back, computer's motherboard died.

Yes, like beak scratching, but some things can be achieved, i.e. flying without wings or environment damaging gases.
