Changes: Marid Physiology

Revision as of 23:43, 18 June 2017

The power to use the abilities of a Marid. Variation of Genie Physiology.

Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a Marid, a type of jinn associated with open waters of the seas and oceans where it finds sanctuary. Marids are often considered as the most powerful type of jinn, having especially great water-based powers. Like every jinn, they have free will yet can be compelled to perform chores. According to folklore, they also have the ability to grant wishes to mortals, but that usually requires battle, imprisonment, rituals, or just a great deal of flattery.

As powerful supernatural beings, they often have retinue of followers and their domains. As with the jinn, an marid may be either a believer or an unbeliever, good or evil, but they are most often depicted as indifferent and aloof about mortals, which can be more terrifying than outright hostility.
