Default Re: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies

Glamour is illusions and I don't see them as that, I see them as magic beings living in our world but also not of this world. And to me that is ethereal.

Only the Jann is ethereal, made of smoke and fire (like fire elementals = ethereal

The Sola is a creature of magma (mix of ghost light and a king of elemental fire, but weakish) in my describtion and can fly/hover

The Marid and Efriti just fly since I didn't want to overpower them.
IF I would give them anything else I'd give Efriti etherealness too and Marid glamour (I see marids casting illusions etc)

anyway all that arabs ancient literature is just telling everything all ways so you can't really use it as a solid base.

Saulot: I thought that command didn't actually make it a MAGIC attack, it just makes it a special attack that wouldn't disappear when equipping weapons (natural attack) why I thought that I can't find atm.
(ah I found it that is #bonus)
The fire in it's insides are hot though don't thing an average ethereal being would enjoy being there.

but I guess # magic is out indeed
