Um, no magician can do magic without the help of a demon. Those Detonations and things you refer to were probably just created by an invisible djinni standing by.
Can't be sure, though. Why would she bother wasting time having the djinni form it in her hand rather than her enemy's throught? :gladstone: :gladstone: :gladstone:

Btw, hi Nemaides! :new:

We've asked Stroud this; any spells that appear to be created by a magician are created by a bound or invisible spirit.

Gladstone said this elsewhere, but please use the edit button rather than posting repeatedly. Thanks.

If there's a way to add something someone posted (as a quote)while editing, just tell me how and I'll do it from now on.

First of all, isnt shubit a djinni? not an afrit.. and if whitwell is second. then who is first?

I personally think that mandrake would win with bartimaeus, keep in mind that bartimaeus claims to have defeated afrits before. he always gets lucky!

Shubit was both a djinni and an afrit at different points - editing error. Stroud confirmed he's supposed to be an afrit as he appears in PG if I remember correctly.

Whitwell would win. For obvious, already stated reasons.

But they're both kinda dead now, so...

I was of the opinion that Shubbit was portrayed as a Djinni more often, making the Afrit reference the error.

come on, bartimaeus always pulls through in some funny, lucky way. And that is why we love him!

I think you're right, actually.

Definitely implies the djinni-ness was right.

It clutters up the forum and bumps up your post count for no purpose.

Correction: not in this forum.
General chat has been very... profitable.
It's nice to know my first topic ever has 11 pages.
My favorite number, too.
