[See that's what he thinks! Except he's leaving out a key detail in all of this, but it's not something he wants to hear shoved down his throat again. Inheritance issues so much fun. ]

They'd say the same about me and I say the same about them.

I have two Djinn and I am not a magician. I can't use any magic outside what they've given me.

I've never heard of Merlin before you mentioned him.

About your claim? I do not know which one of your family has a right to rule. But a dark witch who might destroy her country to push an agenda of outside parties should never be king.

[She is firm on that. It vaguely reminds her to Morgan.]

Hm. But you manifest them, do you not? Does not that take energy from you? [She tries this approach, in case he confuses magical energy with spellcasting.]

He is [a troublesome old man she still esteems.] a famous magician in my world and sometimes a troublemaker.

Yes, it takes Magoi to complete a Djinn equip of any level. Everyone has magoi to some extent.

Like the Magi?

[Especially Judar, at least in the troublemaker sense.]

That probably is what I mean. Magoi must be the equivalent prana or magical energy. Even if everyone has some, there are those have more than others. Perhaps this decides partly why a small number can manifest these Djinns. [At least she speculates, or they could be affected by that limitation.] Magi learn spells to utilize this surplus of prana they posses.

[She nods.]

From what you explained me, Magi are closer to the Magicians in my experience, while the magi I know should be your magicians. Merlin would be one of your Magi were he born in your realm.

Magi raise Djinn dungeons, sometimes lead people to them and the Djinn decides the vessal they go to and those vessal are deemed King candidates. That's my understanding of it.

That might explain why Judar is bored half the time. He is probably the strongest Magi we have.
[Though he is reluctant to say it, not out of any disrespect but judar is not the easiest to get along with, nor he is terribly clever. He has learned new spells he wouldn't otherwise because Hakuryuu asked him so that earns a fair bit of respect.]

At least in terms of destructive power. So the terms are reversed? Judar wouldn't like being called a magician.

[He's much stronger.]

Then, they summon the Djinn and use other people as their anchor or do you and those with Djinns become possessed by them? [She sounds concerned about that. What are Djinns getting from this? Her question remains.]

Hm. I have spoken with this Judar. He sounds he is bored with everything. [And he complains about all things. Merlin was a handful too but his way of immaturity was one of the elderly rather than the childish teenager antics.] Yes, that was one of the first differences we noticed.

They raise the dungeon's. The Djinn are already inside. Judar...well, no another Magi might know more. Judar can raise them but I'm not sure how much of the finer details he knows.

If they possess us it is very subtle. I have full control of my wits.

[He's not really, but he grew up with the idea so it's not as strange to him. He doesn't have many, if any, examples to compare it too.Plus he doubts Judar could put in the extended focus to maintain a long term spell like that. He gets bored so easily.]

He generally is. Despite being Kou's Oracle and High Priest he was encouraged to do as he liked by the one's who raised him.

[No point in bringing up Al Thaman again, They've thrown off those shackles.]

What do you mean with "raise"? It is similar to summon these "Dungeons"?

There is a degree of possession, then? [That sounds unsettling. What if those djinns aren't waiting to posses them fully in the future?]

Hm. That is not good, it would spoil someone's personality and potential to make them believe there are no limits or laws to follow.

Yes, Judar "Raises" Dungeon, they don't occur on their own as far as I'm aware.

I don't think they do possess us, a Djinn-equip is like donning magic armor. It makes us similar to them in appearance and power but ends when the equip is removed or Magoi drops too low.

.... He does as I ask most of the time.

[That's Judar in a nutshell. Hakuryuu doesn't really care.]

I see. Does it consume a lot of this Magoi? [She has never seem him with a armor in the tree. Perhaps he does not wish to wast energy.]

You must trust him, despite of his personality. No, perhaps that is why you rely on him.

Yes. A full Djinn-equip can take a fair amount of Magoi. It cost more energy to use the extreme magics then the equips. That normally can be only done once.

[Though he has equipped both Djinn in one fight before, and managed to use an extreme magic. Easier to use them when necessary and catch someone off guard, then use them all the time. He's also not sure if it's going to cost more to use them at all since arriving here. Theoretically no. Better to play by waste not, want not.

Though he should probably try to equip one to see if it is as exhausting as he thinks it could be.]

Extreme magic? Is that the name of your trump card?

[It does sound like it is.]

I still have a question: Why do Djinns assist you? What do they obtain in exchange of a pact with people?

Yes.

I don't know. The first one showed up and then more and more showed up.It probably has to do with Solomon or those he was against.

I hope you do not have to use it here, if it takes a toll on you.

[She has been prana deprived and it's pretty frustrating.]

Have you tried asking them?

Zagan would say that he chose me for the lack of a better option, and he has an issue with Amon.

Belial....

[Belial refused him and Judar had seen to it that he serve...so he's not sure on that one.]

Belial wouldn't have much to say on the matter...if I could talk to them. It takes too much Magoi for anyone but a magi to materialize a Djinn and only Aladdin has ever done it.

I would try to ask them. It is not about the reasons why they chose you.

But what do they gain from this in general. [Isn't it suspicious beings of those power accept to do this in the first place?] We would not cooperate with the Master who summoned us if we did not also obtain anything in exchange. Such contract was clear from the beginning.

[He doesn't like dealing with zagan in person though...and again, Belial isn't exactly freely serving him, he thinks at least. It's hard to say he's never been denied power or unable to preform a Djinn equip.]

If I ever get back home, I'll work on it.

[Given he basically just murdered-without actually killing- his best friend it's hard to say how Aladdin would take to that kind of request.]
