OOC Explanation

1. Demi-Djinn cannot kill other players unless they need to fight in order to survive. Killing animals and beings without sentience are fine, but creatures like Descendants or Kha cannot be killed unless they need to defend themselves, another Demi-Djinn, or their contractor. Being an accomplice to murder is also not acceptable. Demi-Djinn do not break their creeds if they kill something that holds an altered soul or something that holds no soul at all. (Examples: Azdrazi, Vargs, Frost Witches, etc.)
2. Demi-Djinn cannot do contracts for themselves or other Demi-Djinn, and boons cannot be used outside of these contracts.

3. Demi-Djinn cannot approach their contractor with the intent to kill or maim unless its for the sake of self-defense, or unless they're given permission to in a sparring scenario. This does not mean they are able to kill their contractor without breaking the first Shackle.

4. While Demi-Djinn may play riddles, tricks, and even share a mutual interest with their contractors - but they are never to solely offer their powers to their family members or friends, or sell their gifts in exchange for currency.

5. Demi-Djinn must fulfill whatever the contractor wishes once a contract is made, as long as they are not pushing themselves over their limit or breaking any of the five Creeds doing so.

General Redlines

- When a Djinn of any kind is wounded, they bleed just like any normal Descendant. This in fact does mean that they hold genus at a normal amount.
- Touching Aurum will not harm the Demi-Djinn but being stabbed by an Aurum weapon disrupts the ethereal casting of a Demi-Djinn when they are in their Second and Third Phases.
- Ailments that harm the soul have a greater effect on the Demi-Djinn, with malfame in particular not only harming the Demi-Djinn's soul but disrupting their casting. For aesthetic choice, the Demi-Djinn may choose on if this kicks them back into their First Phase; this is optional however.
- Only Descendants can become Demi-Djinn.

- Half-race Demi-Djinn continue to inherit their curses just like any other Descendant.

- If a Djinn's Zakhrifa breaks, they become unable to cast for 24 OOC hours. If they are in the Third Phase when it breaks they go back into the Second Phase.

- Djinns, even in the Third Phase, revert back to the Second Phase when their shackles are broken. They then become a mortal version of their Second Phase, becoming unable to cast.
- Demi-Djinns in their second phase have a genus count of five, whilst in their Third Phase they have seven units of genus.
- Djinns cannot warp the Thanhium they're trapped inside of to garner an edge in combat.
- Whilst trapped in Thanhium Demi-Djinns must follow IRP prisoner rules.

General Redlines

- The weakness to Aurum is rendered null in the First Phase and the weakness to Malflame shifts back to its normal effects on a common Descendant.

General Redlines

- Demi-Djinn cannot shapeshift into pre-existing characters.
- Shapeshifting does not give them added strength or any enhancements in their reflexes.
- Demi-Djinn cannot shapeshift into anything outside of its race (i.e. a human Djinn cannot shapeshift into an elf).

- Second Phase Djinn cannot FTB, and they also lack genitalia.

- Summoning armor takes one emote out of combat, otherwise it takes two.
- Phases do not inherit deformities or detriments. So therefore, if a djinn in their Second Phase loses a limb they will have that limb back in their First Phase, and vice versa. Prosthetics do not inherit between forms.
- Cosmetics applied to a Djinn's form such as horns may not be used to aid them in combat, however they may be targeted by people in combat. These are minor aesthetics; things like another set of arms are not allowed.

General Redlines

- Demi-Jinn can only appear during contracts or in the presence of other Demi-Djinn
- The animalistic heads of a Demi-Jinn may not be used in combat, and are only to be used for cosmetic purposes.

- Third Phase Djinn cannot FTB, and they also lack genitalia.
- Phases do not inherit deformities or detriments. So therefore, if a djinn in their Second Phase loses a limb they will have that limb back in their First Phase, and vice versa. Prosthetics do not inherit between forms.
- Cosmetics applied to a Djinn's form such as horns may not be used to aid them in combat, however they may be targeted by people in combat. These are minor aesthetics; things like another set of arms are not allowed.

The Contract is not just a verbal agreement, but rather a linkage between the souls of their chosen and themselves- therefore, they must tap into their inner-strength. In doing so, they’d find that their hand would begin to become engulfed within their own aura, visible enough for their chosen to view. Once they shake hands, the pact has been made, and the Demi-Djinn is now bound to their chosen. The Demi-Djinn may use their aptitude in conjuration to summon anything to help them with this, such as a long contract, a quill and an ink pot.

- Must require an OOC and IC agreement between the player and the Demi-Djinn. 
- Only three contracts with three different individuals may be made at a time.

- Only a Demi-Djinn may unbind a contract.

- A contract may be made through any aesthetic choice, such as the shake of a hand or the signing of an actual contract, but this may not aid them in any combat scenario whatsoever. Any items summoned must be mundane, and disappears once the contract is made.

General Redlines

- Zakhrifas cannot be locked
- Zakhrifas cannot be used in combative situations, meaning that it will not work if the contractor is attempting to use it while captured or for any other reason other than making a request of the Demi-Djinn
- A Demi-Djinn’s Zakhrifa can’t be larger than any mundane item of its kind
- Zakhrifas may not be enchanted with any other magic
- Custom Zakhrifas can only be made at Tier Five, and only mundane containers such as lanterns or flasks may be enchanted. 
- Custom Zakhrifas follow all previous redlines

- Zakhrifas may be used by any contractor to banish their Djinn against their will after two emotes

Once called, the Demi-Djinn must begin a process of meditation. The benefit to this way of summoning is that the Demi-Djinn does not have to be in its true form for this to work, for it will manifest as such once out of their Holy Vessel. In order to start meditating- serenity must first be achieved. Closing their eyes, the Demi-Djinn can now begin to connect to their Holy Vessel, entering a state of meditation while they do so- if their focus is disrupted, then so will the connection to their artifact. This can happen if the creature is hurt to the point where their focus is disrupted - anything more than a simple blow to their chin being enough to kick them out of such. Next, the Demi-Djinn must cloud itself within their own aura, causing them to emit a thin layer of smoke from their body. And finally, the Demi-Djinn can now connect to their Zakhrifa. Should the Demi-Djinn open their eyes at this point, their eyes would be fully white, and they’d not be able to use their five senses (touch, vision, etc.) until the meeting is over with their contractor.

Over a 3x3x3 radius, a spectral illusion is cast to those in this area: The Demi-Djinn’s smoke would continuously pour from out of the lamp’s spout, forming into the Djinn’s own form- save for its legs, which would remain as a smokey trail connected to its own Zakhrifa.  The spirit would find itself having become nearly twice its own size, almost always a foot off such a mark- its form visible to those within its area of effect and their smog-like figure becoming too hazy to make out to anyone out of the aforementioned radius; anything the contractor says to the Demi-Djinn could still be heard by those in range to listen to such. 

The Zakhrifa must remain open, and if the contractor willed such- the Demi-Djinn could be banished back inside within an action of two emotes, their essence condensing back into the spout or gemstone of their holy vessel. Furthermore, any consistent damage to the Zakhrifa would cause the Demi-Djinn’s ethereal visage to disappear. The Demi-Djinn may not and is not able to use this form for combat, as it’s simply a form made out of a harmless mist that only serves as a way to grant a single blessing to their contractor. 

General Redlines

- A custom Zakhrifa can be used with the Holy Manifestation
- Holy Manifestation follows all redlines for current lore regarding birding, which means no information may be given via third party platforms such as Discord, the LOTC Forums, Skype, etc.

Being creatures originating from one wayward soul, they hold the affinity to sense and hide each other’s presence. In order to do so however, one must first make eye-contact with the person they are attempting to sense. In most cases, this is accidental. They also hold the ability to hide their presence from any stray eyes as some Demi-Djinn value their privacy above all else. Furthermore they are able to see if a player is contract-bound to another Djinn, as well as sense other Zakhrifas in their general vicinity and if they're being held by a player.

- Kin-Sense can only be used once OOC permission has been confirmed by both parties.
- Kin-Sense can only be used if the caster emotes looking at the other Demi-Djinn.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

- Regeneration cannot be used in combat, or in the First Phase.
- Cannot be used to major wounds (such as stab wounds) or internal wounds (such as damage to their organs).
- Broken bones cannot be healed immediately, but their aptitude for healing is increased and the bones will be mended near the end of a 24 OOC hour window.

When applying themselves to a mirror or painting, they must be aware of it in the room. It may happen subconsciously at times, this.

- The Djinn will be kicked out of a mirror if it's shattered and a painting if it's burnt, or their form is disrupted within either.

Connected by mind to the prowess of a natural Jinn, the eyes of a Demi-Djinn are able to draw forth a latent power that allows them to understand foreign texts for the purpose of understanding any of all mortals that wish to form a contract with them. Everything has its limitations- just as a Demi-Djinn views something that is beyond their own comprehension, such as a magical text that avoids their own wisdom.

- The Eyes of the Wiseman ability can only be used to read languages that the Demi-Djinn themselves do not understand, so using it in a verbal conversation is out of the question.
-  Cultural languages derived from Descendants (Thuadian, Elven common, Illatian) can be deciphered but not texts proposed in magical languages can be deciphered (Ilzakarn, Al'tarhn). In the case of an event language however, the ST in question may decide on whether or not the language can be deciphered.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

This spell offers an alternative to the soulstone system, as well as a way to leave roleplay with an extra bit of flavor. It offers nothing in terms of roleplay between two parties save for the last emote of an encounter. The color of the cloud can be personalized by the Demi-Djinn themselves, but must abide to one solid color. They may also enchant an item such as a broomstick, chariot, carpet, shoes, etc. with their fog so that they may use it to fly. An aesthetic alternative to becoming a cloud.

- This spell can only be used once per encounter, and only following the consensual departure of the Demi-Djinn’s player, to where they can emote being sent off before using their soulstone.
- Cloud Walker cannot be used to gain information during flight due to the loss of sense one experiences while adrift, nor can it be used to gain or lose anything in general. It is a moment void of roleplay in any sense, corresponding with the soulstone process.
- The ethereal fog summoned by Cloud Walker cannot be used in combat, as it can only be used to leave roleplay once given the go-ahead by all participating parties.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

The Demi-Djinn’s legs are able to morph into a trail of muddled fog, connecting to the ground below them as they hover comfortably- giving them the rather relaxing feeling of sitting upon air itself. The amount of space they may be able to take up exactly matches their legs, and cannot be extended or retracted; therefore they retain the same height. Any and all limitations to this power are rather simple, as it cannot be used if the Jinn is in water or above the ground. Should the smoke be disrupted by something- say, a blade - no harm would come to the Demi-Djinn’s legs, but they would find themselves losing their balance and inevitably tumbling as their lower half swiftly returns to its original shape.

Similar to Cloud Walker, a Djinn is able to enchant an item with their fog so that it may fly (such as a broomstick, chariot, carpet, their shoes, etc.). It takes two emotes. Furthermore, they're able to emit a gust of fog that sends them four blocks forward once per encounter but only if the spell is already active. Finally, a Djinn may swallow any steed they're riding into their bodies from their legs, allowing them to become as fast as that animal until the spell is uncast, in which they resume riding their steed.

 - Cannot be used to lose nor gain height or weight- as well as aiding them in the instance of reaching what would normally be unreachable, such as elevating themselves. 
- The Djinn may hover over water but the spell cannot be used underwater, or if there is no ground to be found below the Demi-Djinn.

 - This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

- Boosting themselves forward four blocks may only occur once per encounter.

Upon charging the energies within themselves, the Demi-Djinn can allow the pigment of their skin to change. This spell can be draining to use if used too much throughout the day, mostly serving as a way to give a bit of flare onto their new bodies. They may be able to choose where and what the markings may look like with nothing but a thought. In one emote, they may also make their tattoos glow with the intensity of a redstone torch.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

This comes with a cost, as the Djinn is able to have complete control over their bodies, or as much as they allow their contractor to have. Telepathy within this form to the contractor is apparent, and the tell of this ritual being the shackles appearing over their contractor's wrists. The Djinn may choose when to leave their host's body, but only for a limited time for they cannot hold themselves in a foreign vessel for more than six OOC hours.

- Autopilot cannot be used for more than six OOC hours.
- Requires IC consent.

- If the contractor is stabbed with Aurum or Thanhium, harmed with Malflame, the Djinn's Zakhrifa is broken or used to seal them away, the Djinn will be forced from their contractor's body.

Two pounds worth of brass alloy may be cast over a specific place on the Djinn's body for the rest of a single encounter. They may concentrate more energy into it to turn it into steel, although it will diminish the spell's longevity.

- Hardening brass to steel with an additional emote causes the spell to only last for three additional emotes before deactivating.

The Djinn may shapeshift their shadow at will, perhaps instinctually even. Its influences reaches outside of its own realm, being able to do things such as open doors or snuff out a candle's flame.

-Cannot be used for anything other than aesthetic.

Should the Demi-Djinn find the body of a sickly mortal, they hold the ability to take them to a wellspring of elemental abundance. Should the patient be suffering any sickness or disease that is harming their cardiovascular or respiratory systems, they may heal them. For cardiovascular ailments, they may heal them by cleansing their skin in nature's waters. Likewise, they are able to heal any respiratory ailment in any place where the wind blows. Even if the ailments are magical or non-mundane, the Djinn can heal them, but they cannot reverse any fatal damage.

- Cannot be used in combat.
- Can only be used in thematically appropriate areas (gusty/winds mountains, or river/lakes).

The Djinn may persist as an alchemist's assistant, turning themselves into a cauldron-like container of their make filled with a steaming bubbling liquid. Anything thrown inside, ingredient or no, will be melded together and making something the alchemist wishes. The alchemist may skip any processing through this, although the Djinn may trick them by having the product spawn into something malformed or as something else entirely.

- The cauldron cannot be used in combat.
- Cannot be used for the Djinn to memorize an alchemist's recipes, but if the alchemist knows the recipe, the Djinn should as well.

- The cauldron cannot absorb sentient living things such as other players but it can absorb things required for the crafting.

The Demi-Djinn are no different from their former selves in that they have the potential to dabble in the schools of magic a Jinn themselves are most proficient in, such as transmogrification. A branch of this magic allows them to relocate specific parts of their face. These mainly being their eyes, nose, mouth and ears. 
Miraculously, they’d find their functions intact, despite the relocation. If harm were to befall the area where that part of their body originated from, that part would still become inflicted. Say, the space where their eye was was cut - the cut would emulate onto their eye even if it were on another part of their body. 

- Any damage done onto the original place of one part is emulated onto that specific part. This spell is in no means a way to counter any pain or damage.
- The functions of the parts they have moved still work. Their ears can still hear sounds, their eyes can still see, and they can still eat from their mouths; peculiarly so, if they were to eat, they’d find themselves swallowing their meal with their throat anyways.

Once per encounter, the Demi-Djinn may find themselves able to turn about their very organs. They can shift their internal organs around their torso, able to make certain parts of their body hollow.

- Internal organs cannot move back into place until the end of the counter, and cannot move to a location outside of the torso.

With the tips of their fingers glowing a vibrant hue of their choice, the Demi-Djinn’s trace follows with it a trail of mundane black ink. This ink does not have to be on paper, however. Should the Demi-Djinn choose, it can even be used to draw pictures in the air in front of them. Furthermore, the output of ink they sprawl onto a page can be adjusted to their choosing and once per OOC day, a full inkpot’s worth of ink can be sprayed out from their finger- but all the ink they have is gone for the rest of said day. With a bit more vigor, their ink can also be made to quickly fade away following their sprawl, only to reappear if there is no light to be found around it. Furthermore, they may make their ink glow on command. Finally, someone who IC consents may also gain a tattoo on their skin using this spell, the process of how it is done being up to the Djinn.

 - A Demi-Djinn’s ink reserves are rendered empty if emptied out in one instance, only to be regenerated after a full OOC day. 
- Ink drawn in the air will immediately melt away if not in a 5x5 block radius of the Demi-Djinn; the ink can be melted on command and evaporates soon after hitting the floor.

Within charging energy around their hands, their shackles collect forth a vibrant glow in the hue of the Demi-Djinn’s choosing. This glow moves down to their palms following their second charge- to which the final act allows the Demi-Djinn to deliver a beam of light that manifests into illusionary feats of fireworks and sparks - being able to light up the skies in their show. These displays are nothing but mirages however, and cannot be used to damage anything. If at sixteen blocks or more, the Mirage cannot be seen. If fifteen-zero blocks away, the Mirage is as clear as day, and looks indiscernible from reality.
Their hands are not just for summoning illusions, but may also bathe a room in décor- surfacing a peasant’s room with noble silk or instantly furnishing an empty room with a clap of their hands. They may conjure anything that they can comprehend so long as it is not combative. The equivalent of conjuring a small house would result in the Demi-Djinn becoming drained of their stamina.

A Demi-Djinn may cast the spell on themselves or another object. In the case of themselves, they're able to become an object or mirage leaking their supposed mist, or any clear tell being that it's a Descendant bound to such, such as their body protruding out of the object. If the object is destroyed or chipped to a significant extent, they revert back to the form in which they casted in. For inanimate objects the Djinn can enchant an already-existing item to make it warp in appearance or action, although it still needs to retain the same base shape.

 - A mirage akin to something such as a firework cannot interact with the physical world.
- Decorations cannot be used in combat, only serving to translate roleplay into builds. A Djinn that has turned themselves into a decoration however may be used in combat, but obviously cannot wield themselves since they wouldn't be able to move.

 - Only one mirage at a time may be summoned.

- A Djinn cannot cast Party Hands on themselves to turn into something complex like a cannon or arbalest, unless it is for an event. A Djinn cannot man their own complex machinery. 

- When shapeshifted with Party Hands into the form of a mount, the Djinn gains the speed of a mount in balance-default CRP.

The Demi-Djinn is able to stretch parts of their body- that is, their arms, legs, torso or neck - their bones and muscle pulling forth as if contrived from a more moldable substance. A Demi-Djinn can only extend these parts by three in-game blocks. 

 - The Demi-Djinn cannot stretch their limbs over their respective radius of effect, that being three in-game blocks.

Following its cast, the Demi-Djinn will find itself within one of two states.
The first, an elastic state; Their body is now able to carry some sense of momentum- though due to the springy properties their body has taken on any physical force that they attempt to use themselves is rendered near-useless; after all, this spell is mainly used for defense, as it can be used to spring back compact blows. This elastic state does not work against sharp blades as a good slash from a sword is able to cut into the creature like any other slash.

Adversely, the Djinn may become the second state, where their skin gains a layer of stone but lowers their movement per emote by half. Their movement in general is also cut in half, making any strike slow and rigid as if they were trying to move within a statue.

This stoneskin state does not work against blunt objects such as a good hit from a hammer that's able to shatter through their magical hide.

Neither state also cannot utilize itself to counter any intense attacks - be it blunt or not. An example of this would be a hard-hitting strike from an Olog or a cannonball shot directly towards the Demi-Djinn; the damage dealt to their internal organs and skeleton would bleed through.

This spell lasts for a total of five emotes, and may only be used once per encounter; as one blow is dealt to their body, the area that has been struck upon will begin to emit a non-combative smog that proves a tell of that specific area beginning to weaken. If that area is hit a second time with any type of force, the motion will serve true and deal damage to the Demi-Djinn.

- The Djinn must choose either one of the two states upon activation, not being able to use both in the same encounter.

- The Demi-Djinn are unable to shape their bodies at will with this spell, the main use being for absorbing impact.
- Height and weight is not changed when in this state, and cannot be used to OOCly reach what would normally be unreachable.
- Can only be used once per encounter.

A familiar attribute to a Demi-Djinn is their prowess in the realm of modification of their own bodies. To start, their bodies become enveloped within their respective colored mists - the fog then swallowing them in its embrace. Condensing down into a shrunken state, this cloud then retreats into their Zakhrifa. This spell offers the benefit of giving the Demi-Djinn a secluded home in which they remain in a sort of stasis, but also offers its respective risks.
In order to fit into their Zakhrifa, these demi-creatures must grow smaller- sacrificing not only size but strength- leaving them at their most vulnerable. Furthermore, when their vessel is unsealed from the outside by any means, they are forced to come out. This does not mean they cannot exit themselves however, they have the full ability to in one swift action and if they like, they also have the ability to ‘peek’ out of their Zakhrifa by not completely leaving the vessel. Their lower half becoming fog, they are able to exit their Zakhrifa in their full size, their ghostly lower half connected to the opening of their Zakhrifa; if this stream of fog is cut or disrupted while they are doing this, they are immediately banished from their vessel’s hold. Finally, the Demi-Djinn is also able to drag their contractor into their own Zakhrifa, allowing them to leave to their own content.

- A Demi-Djinn cannot perform any other actions while casting, as the spell requires their full focus. If the stream of ethereal fog is disrupted, the spell is also disrupted.
- When a Zakhrifa is opened, the Demi-Djinn is forced to immediately exit their Zakhrifa one meter next to it.
- Stasis allows for the Demi-Djinn to not grow weary or hungry while within their Zakhrifa, but they still age normally. They may also choose to hibernate within their Zakhrifa.
- While a Demi-Djinn is able to furnish the inside of their vessel using their abilities, they cannot take anything or remove anything from their Zakhrifa using anything but that.
- When semi-connected to their Zakhrifa, their body regains its strength- but they are bound by their Zakhrifa and cannot move away from it unless completely leaving it.

OOC Explanation

Era Embodiment is a spell that allows the Demi-Djinn to access the techniques and inherit the muscle memory of their past incarnations. The more they've reincarnated, the more they attain; this however does not increase one's strength, speed, or defense. Simple information cannot be inherited either. For a crude example, activating Era Embodiment to play baseball (if they were an expert player in a past life) would allow them to know how to handle the bat but not how to play the game.

During the charging to this mode, the Demi-Djinn must focus the entirety of their energy into their very soul, the core of their prowess. The center of their being would grow hotter and hotter with each passing moment until it all finally releases into one simultaneous burst of energy throughout their body, causing their shackles to emit a constant stream of unicolored mist. This form is achievable once every 24 OOC hours and lasts for an entire encounter. Once the encounter is over, the mist will soon fizzle and evaporate into nothing.
This form is a Demi-Djinn at their ‘strongest’, each of their past incarnations coming together into their current vessel. Their strength and speed doesn’t change, nor does their durability or endurance. Rather, their muscle memory is heightened to the point where they can remember the past techniques and skills of their past lives. While this doesn’t count for any knowledge of some unique process such as crafting or understanding certain languages, this does make it so that a Demi-Djinn can master a technique in an instant if one of their past incarnations have already done so - therefore they have no need to practice a punch or a swift kick if they’ve already done so a thousand times in a past life. The Demi-Djinn's mists may take on multiple colors within this state. Furthermore the air may employ harmless aesthetic illusions in the air around them. Reality itself distorting to their will.

- Any knowledge other than combative stances, forms, or techniques is not allowed to be inherited via Era Embodiment. It simply eliminates the need for practice.
- While their inherent skill has increased, Era Embodiment in no way enhances the speed, strength or endurance of a Demi-Djinn. They are essentially the same person they were before, the only thing that has enhanced is their muscle memory and knowledge of how to perform specific techniques.
- Magical knowledge cannot be inherited through Era Embodiment.
- Reality distortion cannot be used to garner an edge in combat.

- This spell's charging emotes may be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

While a Demi-Djinn is nearby a collection of sand, whether this be a small bowl of such or the shore of a beach, they’re able to manipulate it to their preferred aesthetics when they deem fit to do so. It can take the form and shape of whatever they imagine, the only limit being the size and range of their cast. That is, a Demi-Djinn can only cast in a 4x4x4 block radius. 

On top of this, the Djinn may repair any nonorganic object so long as it fits within that same radius as well as if they have enough sand in the area to fix it. Mundane weapons, armor, and miscellaneous items may be restored to their former glory.

- The sand can only be manipulated if it is mundane sand - anything that isn’t your average collection of sand or anything magical would not be able to be manipulated by the Demi-Djinn. This means that other powders cannot be used.
- Sands of Time is mainly meant used as a flavorful way to tell a story or display something, therefore the sands they use cannot be manipulated with malicious intent; that being said, it cannot be used in a combative scenario in any way, shape or form. 

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

- Enchanted items and constructs that are beyond a Djinn's understanding cannot be repaired.

- Wounds cannot be healed within Sands of Time, since organic matter cannot be repaired with sand.

Conjured from the magic residing within their ethereal fog, their mists can envelop over a person’s clothing and transform it into something per their own tastes as tattered rags becoming fine fabrics fit for noblemen. While these threads can vary in colors and styles, they cannot be conjured with special properties or anything beyond a Demi-Djinn’s understanding.

- Armor summoned by Weaving cannot be summoned in the midst of combat.

- These silks cannot be conjured out of nothing, and must be transformed from the threads of the contractor.

With their hands enveloping that familiar mist, the Demi-Djinn are able to conjure their own unique deck of tarot cards. These cards reveal themselves from their palms, scattering across their hands into an organized stack. The Demi-Djinn have complete control over these cards, as they are technically infused with their essence. This being the case, they have the ability to change how the cards look making it so that the pictures can move in an entertaining spectacle. Fortune can also be manipulated to fit the Demi-Djinns’ agenda, being able to draw any card they want from the deck.

- The cards are always made from mundane paper.
- If the deck is three meters or more away from the Demi-Djinn, it instantly dissipates into a curt mist.

After flaring the colored mist from their shackles, they may transfer it into the object of their choice in an attempt to turn it into an MArt. The effects this gives to the item falls under the pre-existing subtypes of their abilities; that being illusion, transmogrification, enchantment, and conjuration. 

- Any Magical Artifacts (MArts) constructed from a Demi-Djinn's magic cannot be used by the Demi-Djinn themselves, can only be used by the contractor, and can only be constructed following the signing of a contract that calls for the creation of said MArt.

- Any and all MArts created must go through the standard MArt application process.

- Djinns do not suffer the three month cooldown of MArts, their cooldown being three weeks (CD starts after MArt acceptance, if it is accepted).

- MArts cannot be given consecutively to the same player (this includes if they're involved with the making of the MArt) for 3 months post-acceptance.

In order to delve deep within the mind of their contractor, first they must focus themselves into a corporeal state and enter their body. If they have come with the Djinn, they must enter a deep state of sleep. The contractor may also ask for the Djinn to remove memories that are painful, or adjust memories within the contractor's psyche to create or change events that never happened.

- Requires IC consent to use, and OOC consent to adjust/remove memories.
- Cannot be used in combat.

If a Djinn thinks of someone's bloodline of noble or worthy blood, they may enchant a weapon or equippable mundane item with the effect that is heavier and/or unbalanced in the hands of someone that is not blood-related to the contractor - whereas someone who is related to them may wield the sword properly.  For equippable items like jewelry or instruments the person attempting to wear/use it would find its purpose null. An instrument would never be tuned quite right, and a ring or necklace would always find itself slipping off one's form. Once enchanted, the item may be imbued with some harmless aesthetic or the family crest of the contractor. The item's new-found heaviness or incompatibility cannot be used to garner an edge in combat. 

The Djinn may enchant magical items as well. If a weapon is mundane they may add another optional effect. Only someone who is blood-related to the contractor may draw the [mundane] weapon from whatever it is sheathed into. Whether that be a traditional scabbard, or a large rock. The [mundane] weapon would find itself being incredibly heavy, to the point where multiple men must carry it in order to lift it.

- The products of Blades of Blood are player-signed.

A spell that offers for the Djinn to create beasts (player-ran event creatures) from its smog that the Djinn puppeteers, basically an easy way to link Djinns to player events. They may also control the beast to be intentionally felled by the contractor to cause their grandeur to skyrocket amongst their peers and brothers-in-arms.

- Can only be used if under a contract, cannot be used randomly.
- Cannot be used in PK events, or to PK players.

- Cannot be used to intentionally kill people.
- Cannot be used in the middle of normal combative situations or raids for the sake of helping the Demi-Djinn or the contractor, only for the pure sake of doing player-ran events.

- If a player emotes their own death outside of the Djinn's control, it's not their burden to bare.

Being a boon, the Demi-Djinn is only able to change the feelings of someone who has made a contract with them, rather than just anyone- they must also require a soul, as the spell requires a connection from the Demi-Djinn’s soul to their own.
Once charged, the Demi-Djinn’s aura will enter the body of the contractor, to which a sudden chill would cause them to become aware of their new change. The change is instantaneous but comes at a cost. For instance, if a Demi-Djinn were to make someone more courageous, they’d find that person becoming more cocky in the process speaking their mind with utmost confidence regardless of who they were speaking to. Furthermore, emotions are not linked to actions in the slightest; the Demi-Djinn cannot force someone to do something just from their thoughts alone therefore they cannot formulate a mindset with this ability. For example, a person cannot be forced into a fist-fight just from the addition of anger alone.

- Can only be cast upon the respective contractor, as well as only those who carry a soul.
- This cannot be used to conjure anything other than mundane emotions; making a person fall in love for instance would be prohibited and outside of the control of a Demi-Djinn. This includes using the boon for FTBs.
- This spell cannot be used to sway someone’s actions. It can only sway their thought process into doing so but in the end, it is the contractor’s decision on how to do something. Nevertheless, the correct side-effects must be carried out. 

The Touch of Midas is a spell that enables the Demi-Djinn to turn an entire object into any inorganic open material, both inside and out. Only mundane objects that are smaller than an Olog may be gilded, and only objects the Demi-Djinn themselves understand. This effect can only be removed if any Demi-Djinn removes it themselves.

- Cannot be cast on anything magical, or something that the Demi-Djinn cannot comprehend - only mundane items.
- Living, intelligent creatures are exempt from the effects of this spell. This includes nonliving player-made characters.
- If the item in question is an mundane item with an ST signature, that item must be resigned by an ST. No enchanted items may be inflicted with the Touch of Midas.

- This spell's effects cannot be used in combat.

- Only items given to the Djinn by the contractor may be gilded.

A Demi-Djinn may perform illusions upon mortals in a collected, non-combative environment. Such may be done for the purpose of making an individual believe in their omnipotence, perhaps nudging them to pick a particular wish they seek to enact, or for some other, often harmless, purpose. This is the most freeform of all the Demi-Djinn’s abilities, for they hold the capability to create illusions with little error or fallacy, allowing them great creative potential which they may use to entice individuals. 

- If given OOC consent from all players involved, there can be no emote-count for illusions. It can be used in combat for aesthetic or IRP flavor, not to gain an edge in combat. OOC consent is not needed for two Djinns, as they can use this spell to practice their imagination and combative skills. The Djinns may choose whether or not they were actually harmed in this bout.
- Sentient life cannot be manipulated within the Imaginary Realm, but the Demi-Djinn may manipulate their own forms.
- Illusions cannot manipulate anything such as a person’s emotions, or their ability to feel pain. They can however persuade the five senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste).
- Illusions cannot be used in combat. If combat ensues while the illusion is present, it will fade.
- While the Illusion may be made to appear indistinguishable from reality, an individual within the illusion would still be able to know they were within an illusion should anything unrealistic occur.
- The Imaginary Realm will fade after the meeting between a contractor has concluded.

- Imaginary Realm cannot be used in a DC ritual unless clarified with the OOC consent of both parties.

A Demi-Djinn may directly harm one’s body for the equivalent exchange of restoring something lost to their contractor. A Djinn’s energy is known to manipulate their own bodies; in this case, this twisted curse is able to morph the bodies of others.
First, the Demi-Djinn must make physical contact with their contractor’s affected area. Then, the chosen limb or body part would crumble into sand. Finally, that sand would form into a tight cloud, expanding or condensing until finally taking shape into the new part the contractor would then receive. The only parts the Djinn are able to bring back are as follows:

-  To regain an arm, one eye must be sacrificed. 
- To regain an eye, one hand must be sacrificed.
- To regain a leg, one eye or one hand must be sacrificed.
- To regain an elf’s ears, three fingers must be sacrificed. The contractor can choose which fingers they will lose.
- To regain any other feature of limbs such as fingers or toes, one eye must be sacrificed.
- To regain any other facial feature including a repaired jaw, hair, nose etcetera, three fingers must be sacrificed. The contractor can choose which fingers they will lose.

- OOC and IC consent must be given following the signing of the contract before casting; only organic limbs may be taken/returned.
- Any body part returned to the contractor mirrors their original part, so for instance eye color cannot be changed.
- Curses adhere to normal prosthetics, however any foreign magic or enchantment such as golemic limbs or a Seer’s sight is blocked by the curse.

The Demi-Djinn are able to transform into any melee weapon of mundane origin. When held, they are able to establish a telepathic link to their contractor. Furthermore, if the contractor allowed, the Demi-Djinn may also momentarily possess them through their weapon, their actions becoming one as their senses become fully aligned; this including things such as pain, hearing, sight, etc. If the weapon breaks, the Djinn returns to their Second Phase.

Alternatively, the Djinn may form themselves into a suit of armor that is equipped onto their contractor, or enchant one they are already wearing; the same effects (a telepathic link and/or possession) are able to be applied.

- A Djinn cannot shapeshift into a ranged weapon.
- This spell cannot be used in tandem with the Holy Manifestation.

- If the weapon breaks, the Djinn returns to their Second Phase.
- The Djinn may only turn into one weapon.

General Redlines

- Only one spell can be taught with each tale/lesson.
- A lesson/tale/story must take place within  a minimum of five emotes.
- A tale of Solomon has no correlation to canon Demi-Djinn lore, only serving as a flavorful way to teach one’s student.

- If a Demi-Djinn's student becomes a Cursed Djinn (see below), they are to be immediately dropped and their own CA is to specify that they are now a Cursed Djinn by an ST. 

General Redlines

- Only the disconnection ritual of a Djinn may disconnect Djinns. Only a creature of their likeness may take their powers.
- Only a Demi-Djinn in their Third Phase may cast the disconnection ritual. 

- No OOC/IC consent is required.
- Only other Djinns may participate in the force attempting to subdue to disconnect the spirit in question.

- Any Disconnected Djinn must have their disconnection outlined on their CA.

OOC Explanation

The Cursed Djinn offer a system for Demi-Djinn that break a Creed/Tenet. When they do, they instantly begin to crack and transform into one of the Accursed. After breaking a Creed/Tenet for a second time, they are PK'd. They are constantly at a single tier (Tier 0) and have all five magic slots filled, having instantly lost the abilities and physical/mental effects of a Demi-Djinn and now hold a set of attributes unique to them.

If a Demi-Djinn's student becomes a Cursed Djinn, they are to be immediately dropped and their own CA is to specify that they are now a Cursed Djinn by an ST. 

General Redlines

- The Vices of Ifrit are illusions merely for pure aesthetic roleplay meant to show the deteriorating mental state of a Cursed Djinn and cannot be used to grant any sort of advantage to the player in combat roleplay.
- You cannot use the Vices of Ifrit to metagame or foretell anything ‘off’ about a character. 
- A Vice cannot interact with the mortal plane, therefore it cannot be used to interact with other characters in any way, shape, or form.
- Breaking a second Shackle fulfills a PK Clause, and after the Cursed Djinn disappears the character is permanently killed.
- The Cursed Djinn are not allowed to do anything as they are being pulled down into the depths of nowhere, being PK’d there on the spot. Their Vice also disappears alongside them following their banishment.

General Redlines

- The Accursed are permanently stuck in their Second Phase (the second form of Demi-Djinn).

- Every shapeshifted form of a Cursed Djinn must have multiple deformities.
- Cursed Djinn cannot shapeshift into pre-existing characters.
- Shapeshifting does not give them added strength or any enhancements in their reflexes.
- Cursed Djinn cannot shapeshift into anything outside of its race (i.e. a human Djinn cannot shapeshift into an elf).
- While cloth and lesser materials may be shapeshifted along with their bodies, Cursed Djinn cannot make themselves larger while in a suit of armor or in any greater material such as iron or steel and cannot create armor over their bodies.

Once called, the Cursed Djinn must begin a process of meditation. In order to start meditating- serenity must first be achieved. Closing their eyes, the Djinn can now begin to connect to their Unholy Vessel, entering a state of meditation while they do so- if their focus is disrupted, then so will the connection to their artifact. This can happen if the creature is hurt to the point where their focus is disrupted - anything more than a simple blow to their chin being enough to kick them out of such. Next, the Djinn must cloud itself within their own aura, causing them to emit a thin layer of black smoke from their body. And finally, the Djinn can now connect to their Zakhrifa. Should the Accursed open their eyes at this point, their eyes would be fully white, and they’d not be able to use their five senses (touch, vision, etc.) until the meeting is over with their contractor.

Over a 3x3x3 radius, a spectral illusion is cast to those in this area: The Cursed Djinn’s black smoke would continuously pour from out of the lamp’s spout, forming into the Djinn’s own form- save for its legs, which would remain as a smokey trail connected to its own Zakhrifa.  The spirit would find itself having become nearly twice its own size, almost always a foot off such a mark- its form visible to those within its area of effect and their smog-like figure becoming too hazy to make out to anyone out of the aforementioned radius; anything the contractor says to the Demi-Djinn could still be heard by those in range to listen to such. A deathly scarlet flash of lightning and flames periodically flares throughout this form.

The Zakhrifa must remain open, and if the contractor willed such- the Accursed could be banished back inside within an action of two emotes, their essence condensing back into the gemstone of their unholy vessel. Furthermore, any consistent damage to the Zakhrifa would cause the Accursed ethereal visage to disappear. The Cursed Djinn may not and is not able to use this form for combat, as it’s simply a form made out of a harmless mist that only serves as a way to grant a single blessing to their contractor. 

General Redlines

- Unholy Manifestation follows all redlines for current lore regarding birding, which means no information may be given via third party platforms such as Discord, the LOTC Forums, Skype, etc.

The Djinn may shapeshift their shadow to match the silhouette of their Vice. Its influences reaches outside of its own realm, being able to do things such as open doors or snuff out a candle's flame.

-Cannot be used for anything other than aesthetic.

This spell offers an alternative to the soulstone system, as well as a way to leave roleplay with an extra bit of flavor. It offers nothing in terms of roleplay between two parties save for the last emote of an encounter. The color of the cloud can be personalized by the Cursed Djinn themselves, but must abide to one solid color. They may also enchant an item such as a broomstick, chariot, carpet, shoes, etc. with their fog so that they may use it to fly. An aesthetic alternative to becoming a cloud.

- This spell can only be used once per encounter, and only following the consensual departure of the Cursed Djinn’s player, to where they can emote being sent off before using their soulstone.
- Cloud Walker cannot be used to gain information during flight due to the loss of sense one experiences while adrift, nor can it be used to gain or lose anything in general. It is a moment void of roleplay in any sense, corresponding with the soulstone process.
- The ethereal fog summoned by Cloud Walker cannot be used in combat, as it can only be used to leave roleplay once given the go-ahead by all participating parties.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

The Accused may bathe a room in décor- surfacing a peasant’s room with noble silk or instantly furnishing an empty room with a clap of their hands. They may conjure anything that they can comprehend so long as it is not combative. Although it seems that anything they would summon mirrors a vice, dreadful and dark in design. The equivalent of conjuring a small house would result in the Cursed Djinn becoming drained of their stamina.

- Decorations cannot be used in combat, only serving to translate roleplay into builds. A Djinn that has turned themselves into a decoration however may be used in combat, but obviously cannot wield themselves since they wouldn't be able to move.

This comes with a cost, as the Djinn is able to have complete control over their bodies, or as much as they allow their contractor to have. Telepathy within this form to the contractor is apparent, and the tell of this ritual being the shackles appearing over their contractor's wrists. The Djinn may choose when to leave their host's body, but only for a limited time for they cannot hold themselves in a foreign vessel for more than six OOC hours.

- Autopilot cannot be used for more than six OOC hours.
- Requires IC consent.

- If the contractor is stabbed with Aurum or Thanhium, harmed with Malflame, the Djinn's Zakhrifa is broken or used to seal them away, the Djinn will be forced from their contractor's body.

The Cursed Djinn is able to stretch parts of their body- that is, their arms, legs, torso or neck - their bones and muscle pulling forth as if contrived from a more moldable substance. A Cursed Djinn can only extend these parts by three in-game blocks. 

 - The Cursed Djinn cannot stretch their limbs over their respective radius of effect, that being three in-game blocks.

With their hands enveloping that familiar mist, the Cursed Djinn are able to conjure their own unique deck of tarot cards. These cards reveal themselves from their palms, scattering across their hands into an organized stack. The Cursed Djinn have complete control over these cards, as they are technically infused with their essence. This being the case, they have the ability to change how the cards look making it so that the pictures can move in an entertaining spectacle. Fortune can also be manipulated to fit the Cursed Djinns’ agenda, being able to draw any card they want from the deck.

- The cards are always made from mundane paper.
- If the deck is three meters or more away from the Accursed, it instantly dissipates into a curt mist.

- Regeneration cannot be used in combat, or in the First Phase.
- Cannot be used to major wounds (such as stab wounds) or internal wounds (such as damage to their organs).
- Broken bones cannot be healed immediately, but their aptitude for healing is increased and the bones will be mended near the end of a 24 OOC hour window.

Upon charging the energies within themselves, the Cursed Djinn may control the cracks on their skin. This spell can be draining to use if used too much throughout the day, mostly serving as a way to give a bit of flare onto their horrid bodies. They may be able to choose where and what the markings may look like with nothing but a thought. In one emote, they may also make their cracks glow with the intensity of a redstone torch. Furthermore, they may also give painless brands to those who offers IC consent - the method of which being up to them.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

While a Cursed Djinn is nearby a collection of ash whether this be a small bowl of such or the remains of a fire, they’re able to manipulate it to their preferred aesthetics when they deem fit to do so. It can take the form and shape of whatever they imagine, the only limit being the size and range of their cast. That is, a Cursed Djinn can only cast in a 4x4x4 block radius. 

On top of this, the Djinn may repair any non-organic object so long as it fits within that same radius as well as if they have enough ash in the area to fix it. Mundane weapons, armor, and miscellaneous items may be restored to their former glory.

- The ash can only be manipulated if it is mundane sand - anything that isn’t your average collection of sand or anything magical would not be able to be manipulated by the Cursed Djinn. This means that other powders cannot be used.
- Age of Ashes is mainly meant used as a flavorful way to tell a story or display something, therefore the sands they use cannot be manipulated with malicious intent; that being said, it cannot be used in a combative scenario in any way, shape or form. 

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

- Enchanted items and constructs that are beyond a Djinn's understanding cannot be repaired.

- Wounds cannot be healed within Age of Ashes, since organic matter cannot be repaired with ashes.

A contractor may request for a region to be enveloped in a certain type of weather. However, this will usually be overdone, and may cause more harm than good. For example, asking for rain for crops, may lead to devastating floods, or asking for heat, may lead to a forest fire due to the swathe of warmth.

- Requires PRO/RO permission beforehand and can be discussed with them to make Elemental Wrath last longer than an OOC week.

- Requires an ST to emote.

- A post on the forums must be made by the Djinn once this is done, detailing the weather-change and how long it lasts. It cannot last for more than one OOC week.

From the sinful cracks in their once-holy body may come a rusted weapon that has the hardness of steel, weapons of flame the Accused may craft from within their shattered form.

- Only one weapon can be made once per encounter and it must be mundane.

- The weapon cannot be used to melt other weapons but the heat is powerful enough to cause third-degree burns on prolonged exposure with flesh (three emotes of uninterrupted contact).

Through a contractor's desire for a certain ability, the Cursed Djinn may curse and trick the mortal into the form of an animal for a limited amount of time by marking them with their fog. Should the mortal wish to jump higher for example, the creature may turn them into an animal of similar make, such as a frog that may retain any defining features or clothing the mortal used to bare.

- Only creatures with a soul, altered or not, may be turned into animals.

- The animal cannot be one used in combat such as a dragon or a hippo, it must be a creature smaller than the size of the contractor's original size. Their new form cannot be used to garner an edge in combat (such as a frog's tongue or a kangaroo's kick).

- The Mark can be de-spelled with holy magic or automatically by the Accursed themselves with a set condition that they set on their brand (such as committing a good deed).

- Requires the contractor to have asked the Accursed for a specific ability or for higher power and boons.

- The contractor can only stay in the form of an animal for either a minimum of two OOC days or one OOC week (based on their preference). They still hold the ability to speak in their new prison. 

- Should the transformed player wish it, they may keep themselves in the form of an animal until they fulfill the Cursed Djinn's terms

After flaring the colored mist from their shackles, they may transfer it into the object of their choice in an attempt to turn it into an MArt. The effects this gives to the item falls under the pre-existing subtypes of their abilities; that being illusion, transmogrification, enchantment, and conjuration. 

- Any Magical Artifacts (MArts) constructed from a Cursed Djinn's magic cannot be used by the Cursed Djinn themselves, can only be used by the contractor, and can only be constructed following the signing of a contract that calls for the creation of said MArt.

- Any and all MArts created must go through the standard MArt application process.

- Djinns do not suffer the three month cooldown of MArts, their cooldown being three weeks (CD starts after MArt acceptance, if it is accepted).

Connected by mind to the prowess of a natural Jinn, the eyes of a Cursed Djinn are able to draw forth a latent power that allows them to understand foreign texts for the purpose of understanding any of all mortals that wish to form a contract with them. Everything has its limitations- just as the Accursed views something that is beyond their own comprehension, such as a magical text that avoids their own wisdom.

- The Eyes of the Wiseman ability can only be used to read languages that the Cursed Djinn themselves do not understand, so using it in a verbal conversation is out of the question.
-  Cultural languages derived from Descendants (Thuadian, Elven common, Illatian) can be deciphered but not texts proposed in magical languages can be deciphered (Ilzakarn, Al'tarhn). In the case of an event language however, the ST in question may decide on whether or not the language can be deciphered.

- This spell's charging emotes can be used in tandem with shapeshifting emotes.

The Cursed Djinn are no different from their former selves in that they have the potential to dabble in the schools of magic a Jinn themselves are most proficient in, such as transmogrification. A branch of this magic allows them to relocate specific parts of their face - sliding them around in the ripples of their ashen skin. These mainly being their eyes, nose, mouth and ears. 
Miraculously, they’d find their functions intact, despite the relocation. If harm were to befall the area where that part of their body originated from, that part would still become inflicted. Say, the space where their eye was was cut - the cut would emulate onto their eye even if it were on another part of their body. 

- Any damage done onto the original place of one part is emulated onto that specific part. This spell is in no means a way to counter any pain or damage.
- The functions of the parts they have moved still work. Their ears can still hear sounds, their eyes can still see, and they can still eat from their mouths; peculiarly so, if they were to eat, they’d find themselves swallowing their meal with their throat anyways.

Upon the first cast, the cracks adorning the Cursed Djinn’s figure will glow with an intense flare, this of course being just for aesthetic - their skin soon growing goosebumps thereafter. With focus and time, their ashen skin would then gain a grainy texture like rubbing one’s hand against sand, and their skin would soon harden into something like stone. The casting of this spell gradually increases their weight over time, their entire body becoming an animated puppet of stone.
In this new state of rock, they’d find their bodies resistant against most edged attacks such as slashes or stabs. A few drawbacks come at a cost with this of course; their bodies becoming incredibly heavy and their movements becoming nothing more than a hard creaking stagger - leaving them at a disadvantage for swift attacks. Not only this, but as their bodies are now temporarily hardened, heavy blunt damage is able to smash their body to pieces depending on where they are hit. If they are hit with an extremely powerful blow to the shoulder for instance, they’d find their entire arm falling off  - this is truly something that must be used wisely, sadly the Accursed of times past have been known for not carrying much wisdom in the first place.

- This spell can only be used once per encounter, and can be disabled at any time after casting.
- This spell essentially gives them a pseudo-stoneskin, allowing them to receive at least half the durability of a common golem.
- In this state their bodies must be treated as if it was made of stone, therefore an increased amount of pressure would shatter their skin or at worst chip away an entire section of their body. Any and all effects to their organs for example must be roleplayed - albeit blood will not flow until this spell is disabled. Breaking their head will immediately disable the spell.

- While Hardened Skin is active, the amount of blocks a Cursed Djinn can move per emote is reduced by one (so if they may only move four blocks during CRP, they can only move three after casting).

A Cursed Djinn retains their ability to perform illusions upon mortals in a collected, non-combative environment. Such may be done for the purpose of making an individual believe in their omnipotence, perhaps nudging them to pick a particular wish they seek to enact, or for some other, often harmless, purpose. This is the most freeform of all the Djinn’s abilities, for they hold the capability to create illusions with little error or fallacy, allowing them great creative potential which they may use to entice individuals.

- If given OOC consent from all players involved, there can be no emote-count for illusions.

- Sentient life cannot be manipulated within the Imaginary Realm, but the Cursed Djinn may manipulate their own forms.

- Illusions cannot manipulate anything such as a person’s emotions, or their ability to feel pain. They can however persuade the five senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste).

- Illusions cannot be used in combat. If combat ensues while the illusion is present, it will fade.

- While the Illusion may be made to appear indistinguishable from reality, an individual within the illusion would still be able to know they were within an illusion should anything unrealistic occur.

- The Imaginary Realm will fade after the meeting between a contractor has concluded.

A Cursed Djinn may directly harm one’s body for the equivalent exchange of restoring something lost to their contractor. A Djinn’s energy is known to manipulate their own bodies; in this case, this twisted curse is able to morph the bodies of others. However, the contract must be fulfilled, Demi-Djinn or not - the consequence must be in the consent of the contractor themselves. Therefore the Accursed give and take features in a sort of equivalent exchange to those who seek their power.
To regain something that was lost, a contractor must give their full consent and understand the trial of which they are about to go through. First, the Accursed must make physical contact with their contractor’s affected area. Then, the chosen limb or body part would crumble into grey dust - similar to the skin tone of the Cursed Djinn themselves. Finally, that dust would form into a tight cloud, expanding or condensing until finally taking shape into the new part the contractor would then receive. The only parts the Accursed are able to bring back are as follows:

-  To regain an arm, one eye must be sacrificed. 
- To regain an eye, one hand must be sacrificed.
- To regain a leg, one eye or one hand must be sacrificed.
- To regain an elf’s ears, three fingers must be sacrificed. The contractor can choose which fingers they will lose.
- To regain any other feature of limbs such as fingers or toes, one eye must be sacrificed.
- To regain any other facial feature including a repaired jaw, hair, nose etcetera, three fingers must be sacrificed. The contractor can choose which fingers they will lose.

- OOC and IC consent must be given following the signing of the contract before casting; only organic limbs may be taken/returned.
- Any body part returned to the contractor mirrors their original part, so for instance eye color cannot be changed.
- Curses adhere to normal prosthetics, however any foreign magic or enchantment such as golemic limbs or a Seer’s sight is blocked by the curse.

OOC Explanation

If a Cursed Djinn completes three contracts for a human, an elf, a dwarf, and an orc (twelve in all) without the use of their magic. Then they may become Blessed Djinn only if a Demi-Djinn will teach them once more.

If a Cursed Djinn becomes a Blessed Djinn, their CA is to say such by an ST.

General Redlines

- A Blessed Djinn will start from wherever they were when they were a Demi-Djinn. If they were Tier 4 or Tier 5, they will start at Tier 3. 

- A Cursed Djinn must PK if they use any abilities or boons to complete a contract during their trials.

- The Demi-Djinn that blesses a Blessed Djinn cannot be the same Demi-Djinn that taught them before.

- A Blessed Djinn must PK if they break a creed again after becoming a Demi-Djinn again.

OOC Explanation

Reincarnation is a system that allows the T5 Demi-Djinn to come back after dying of old age within a new body. This also takes effect if they die within the Third Phase through any means. Their memories are wiped in this process, but they temporarily regain all of them when doing contracts in their Third Phase. When the Demi-Djinn’s mortal body becomes sixteen, their affinity for their arts comes via muscle memory.

General Redlines

- A reincarnated Djinn's abilities can only return once they become sixteen.

- Only Tier Five (T5) Demi-Djinn may reincarnate; Cursed Djinn cannot reincarnate.
- Reincarnation cannot be used to gain any memories of past lives, as it would be Metagaming.
- Reincarnation can only happen once the Demi-Djinn has died of natural means (old age) or if they die whilst in their Third Phase. For example, if a Demi-Djinn dies from the sword in the Second or First Phases, they cannot reincarnate.
- When a Demi-Djinn reincarnates, they are brought back a tier in their magic. So a Tier 5 Demi-Djinn would revert back to Tier 4, but their spells do not need to be relearned.

- Birth marks brought by reincarnation cannot be used to metagame one's cause of death.
- A Demi-Djinn can only reincarnate into a being that shares its original incarnation’s gender and race.
- Playing a reincarnation follows standard server rules, and a reincarnated Demi-Djinn cannot be played until one OOC week after the initial PK (Permanent Death of the character).

- Reincarnation is not something that can be brought up in-character by anyone prior to death. Doing so before death will result in a PK (Permanent Death of the character), similar to referencing monk revival before death.

General Redlines

- Demi-Djinn takes five slots to learn. Cursed Djinn have all slots taken no matter what.
- Cursed Djinn are constantly at a single Tier, losing the abilities of an average Demi-Djinn.
- It takes a total of 5 OOC weeks to become T5.

- Reincarnated Demi-Djinn do not need to relearn spells.

Final Words

OOC Purpose

This CA has been a WIP for almost a year now, and was more or less something to satisfy my writing-itch when I was bored. For LOTC standards, we wanted to make a CA that could be used in player events in unique ways as well as create something that heavily relies on the interactions between players so that people can meet new people.
