I am just wondering what other spells and such can djinni perform? For example Detonations are for attacking with right? And Shields are for protection but could you list some other methods of attack djinni use and describe them? (I dun pay attention to the close details) Thank you so much. :lol:

Well I know they can use black tumble (book2) and the bulb of silence (book3) they can also use convulsions and a pulse and charms and glamours and I know of Infernos. Does this help?

Tuba Lover, welcome to the forums and have a cookie. Please try and avoid double posting in future.

Amen, Sent. Gladstone's so touchy about double-posting...

Have a cookie, and a Canadian smilie .

Lol Thanks for the warning

Btw...thanks for the cookie

PS: See!!! I edited this time!!!

Good edit! Good! Have a treat! (Cookie.)

Yum yum......all gone!!!!

whats wrong with double postings?

I'm only new here myself

but I think it's something to do with the fact it can take up space and is a bit annoying. Also it can get boring. Anyone around to explain better??

Yeah, double posting takes up a lot of space and kinda encourages spam.

to the forum .

Pestilences, Detonations, Convulsions, Spasms, Miasmas, Plasms, The Black Tumbler,, Infernoes, Fluxes. That's all I can remember as far as offensive magic goes...

Like Gladstone said, that link provides basically everything.
From memory (I'm liable to forget things btw), offensive magics include-
Detonation- Simplistic, easy, Power range- Lemonade to Whiping a city block (likely), depending on spirit, and condition of said spirit. Area Covered- Depends on Explosive power
Flux- Covers wide area, therefore suitable for anti-air. Power Range- Med.-Large
Form of large magical fishing net (likely)
Convulsions- Bands of energy in form of loose sphere that will literally shake someting down. Power- Variable Range- Med. Area covered- Min.
Black Tumbler- Similar in concept to inferno, but different in that- Less brute force; Less burning (burns vs Incineration), instead causes scaring+minor-moderate burns. Area Covered- Med. (likely)
Inferno- Basic Ball 'o Fire, Incinerates targets. Range- Med-Long Area covered- depends on size
Glaze- Causes memory Loss
The Obedient Breath — A type of conjuration formed by an expiration of air from the mouth and a magic sign. The air thus formed can be directed into various solid shapes. Simple and useful.
Pulse — A small green-blue sphere, about the size of a marble, visible only on the seventh plane; used to detect the level of magic in a given area. Comes back in various color to indicate magical potency
Spasms- Similar to Convulsions somehow... Maybe...
Miasmas- Anyones guess

Hmm...
Stroud is more creative than Rowling.

You against Rowling or something?
