Ah, the guy that lost his arm to a Marid, also due to a mistake in his saying.
Boy, seeing the pattern too?

He lost his leg actually.

Ah, whatever.
They each lost something because of (direct or willed) human error: i.e., Button mispoke, while the other, Tallow, who actually summoning either a highe-level Djinni or an afrit, we aren't told which, read straight from the book and was killed by a purposeful error by Jakob's dad.

double posting? oh. ok i'll edit. :D

So... Mr. Button can die multiple times? :P

Hi, by the way.

Oh shush, I know now I was wrong...

the quote button's not working, but someone said on page 1 that nouda was more powerful than ramuthra. this is untrue, nouda only has a larger reputation for being terrible because in AoS ramuthra was summoned (probably) for the first time. nouda is powerful, but is destroyed by the 2 marids in gladstones staff. Ramuthra can distort the elements when he comes to earth, and is equal only to the amulet of samarkand. this is why lovelace was protected while he wore the amulet.

Ah.
That was quite a long time ago, and we have a dedicated article for the Nouda v. Ramuthra argument.
Quite true, regardless.

Afrits pwn marids.

Just to get this clear:
TALLOW was killed by the afrit.
What happened to Button?

button summoned a marid and forgot to add a tertiary fettering and the marid took his leg before he could dsimiss it

Actually, it got it before the dismissal took effect.
Quick mother.

symantics.....all adds up to the same thing

Small details matter, especially with this kind of thing.

yes i suppose but seriously anyone who forgetts to put in a tertiary fettering when dealing with something like a marid deserves what ever they get

Indeed.
I'd be screwed; I pride myself on my memory, but this kind of thing is complex as all hell, and I'd definitely forget something.

indeed, Id stick to very intelligent middle class djinn and higher djinn who like to hang out in kitchens

Meh.
Were TBT real, I would've committed it to memory and been a power-hungry mother.
But, since it isn't, I'd do the same as you.
