Djinn Might and Powers

The Djinn tribes, though greatly changed in nature and power from Djinn of pagan times, are still formidable foes. Only the great Solomon (Suleyman) was ever able to bring them under control, by using his copper and iron ring. In Ars Arabica, Djinn Might is used to allocate power to a Djinni. Djinn Might itself is used in the same way as other Might scores in Ars Magica. It provides a measure of the power of a creatures, a way to regulate mystic powers, determine resistance and penetration, determine effectiveness of spells, and to indicate a source of power. The Djinn are in fact related to the Fay, though today they are more separate and estranged than ever. All Elder Djinn are very powerful, in that they can fly and can choose to become completely invisible, as well as having a greater command of magical arts. Younger Djinn are generally much weaker because of their distance from Arabia, intermarriage with humans, and the consequences of their Choice.
