what about this then, Luciene - if you tear off your arm and eat it, it would be self-canabalism, because it shares the same DNA as you... all spirits are made of the same genetic essence, which means that if Nouda eats Barti, it would be self-canabalism

Yes, eating your arms is self-cannibalism. but it's not the same as spirits eating each other because it's not just a matter of dna.

I am trying to imagine spirits having DNA. :P

But yeah I don't think it makes it self-cannibalism. Then one could say eating your twin or eating your clone is self-cannibalism.

well... i would consider eating your clone to be self-canabalism...
although i guess the DNA part probably doesn't apply for spirits... idk, i'm kind of confused now :)

If Bartimaeus eats half an afrit, does the rest of it become a foliot or go back to the Other Place?

What if he eats half a foliot? Would the other half clump together and form a mite?
14 Oct 12 - 23:01
Half a foliot would be more like an imp than a mite. Maybe a minor imp. Possibly a mouler if it was a weak foliot. Someone should ask Jonny about this.

It really depends on whether spirit strength progression is linear or some other function of the amount of essence required.

What I want to know is what distinguishes a powerful foliot from a weak djinn.

I just caught up with this thread... Y'all are strange.

Could foliots and djinni be made from different types of essence? Or does it depend on how they were first summoned?

I don't think so ... I understand that all spirits are a piece of this giant ball of essence that makes up the Other Place, and I don't think that one chunk should be made of different stuff than another chunk... for example, if you chop off both your arms, they will still have the same DNA.

Djinni are described as air/fire spirits, though, and afrits just as fire spirits.

If an afrit ate a djinni, would it make it stronger or upset its balance?
