I like to think Genie sometimes just forgets he can teleport them away, or that he just wants to play around. Maybe he could do it, but it's not spectacular enough. I dunno, but this could explain why he sometimes doesn't use his magic, and rather turns into air plaines or other vehicles *shrugs*
Just a thought...

Of course, your explanation is much more thought through, AG! Smile

You can't just ignore the Genie of the series because it comes into a character conflict with the Robin Genie of the original/KOT. Genie's powers in KOT seem like a gaff to me... like someone got too caught up in Robin being back and kind of forgot that Genie had, you know, grown over the series.


Umm... actually I can... but that wasn't my intent. I just like Robin's humor better and try to fit w/ that... not to good at it yet though. I like the series, and I add alot of it in my stories.

I think both actors are pretty funny, but I prefer the Spanish guy to Dan. He's just a little too shreeky for my tastes.

And I was watching the sequels again...the Genie has arm bracelets? Confused

Yeah, they said he looked funny without them Very Happy Now they are just fashion statements, rather than a symbol of his confinement.

Heh, now there's one where the in- and out-of-story explanations turned out to be the same! Laughing

Genie: The only thing I'm a slave to is fashion! These things (gestures to bracelets) go great with a tasteful string of pearls...

I knew there was an explanation in the series, I just couldn't remember what it was! It's great someone found it though.

But then there is that mixing magic's issue. Can you not mix magic when it is from two different magical beings or two different magic types entirely? Eden and Genie's magic was mixed together and nothing happened. Yet, he was freaking out when Jasmine told him to close the portal that Sadira made with the magic she acquired from the Witches of the Sand, but she herself isn't a magical being. Just someone who casts spells.


Notice how Genie only freaks out when they're trying to mix magics to stop another form of magic. I think mixing magics is only a no-no when you're trying to make them work against each other -- it's like trying to force two north poles of a magnet together. They just clash.
When you're combining magic for a sole purpose, as Mozenrath does (and the Shaman did), then they run their own course without interacting with the other magical energies.

Actually if you are trying to get two north poles to work together... it's like having to magics work together... not to pick...too much

Umm... but you are right! I totally understand your explanation!!! It puts it in great perspective. Good wording.

I always thought of the Crystal of Ix as sort of a magic converter, which is how I explained Mozenrath being able to use Genie's magic. The Shaman's staff could work the same way. Maybe they're made of similar material? Wink

That could be it, too.

On a random note, why do we call it the Crystal of Ix? It's called the Crystal of Ixtala, isn't it? Recall the scene from SoDR:

Genie: Gah! The Crystal of Ix-- (he cuts himself off) Ooh, even to say it out loud would invite my doom!
Mozenrath: Allow me. IXTALA!

Then again, they do refer to it as the Crystal of Ix in most episodes afterward.

Saying the full name seems to invoke the thing.

...perhaps you just invoked it by saying it! Wink
