4th footnote [text] how to dismiss your djinni 101
Unleashing a horde of hawks upon the Keep gains you marks for creativity, but you are missing the mark by a substantial degree if you think that raptors alone could rid you of my enchanting presence. 1
Obviously you lack the intellectual fortitude to assess the means by which to free me and gain some peace. As a being of magnanimity, I will offer you a tip to help you along this path:
There's nothing like a good dismissal incantation to scrub away my essence from this dismal plane. 2
While all the magicians that I know to be present puzzle that one out, a query to the commoners: Has anyone seen a delightful orange squash with pleasant enough demeanour?
[aka: 'Djinni seeking nubile young pumpkin for long rolls on the beach and loud mocking of magicians.' Bartimaeus had good fun chatting with her before the wonderful Hallowe'en festivities. Yes. Wonderful. He had a good chuckle over it all.]
1 - Were I restricted to the form of a raven, this method could work. The key term here being 'were' for the fact that I am not restricted to just any form. I could, in fact, take your hawks and raise you a dual-horned, goggle-eyed dragon with a taste for feathers.
2 - Don't expect me to hand the answer to you on a silver platter. That unfortunate alloy aside, providing you magicians with the means to an end is the same as assisting you. I cannot allow this on a professional level, no matter how the ache of existing builds up. We spirits have certain rules and standards we hold ourselves to.

[video] you should feel amazing - that is how he feels!
How lucky she is that he is so magnanimous.]
The seven planes of existence that we spirits can see, though the humans insist that there is only one. Are you appearance-challenged on all seven, or is this a delight of just the first few?
[It would rather be like a poltergeist to just mess around with the first two or three levels, where humans and cats could be freaked out. Bartimaeus would verify this for himself, but videos do not carry the same auras as reality and without a scrying imp to see through, he is plane-blind.
...ah, there she goes again. Just a disembodied voice speaking what sounds like nonsense to him.]
Dismissal rids you of the physical body and the need for hanging around. Who would want to exist in the physical plane?
