[Sallust de la Iglesia]

Al-Djinn (Lesser) (Greater in Bold & Italic)

Level 40 / Dark / Mystic / Summon

Atk: 3   Dmg: 1  Dfs: 9 / 10 Amr: 0  LP: 13 / 16  Rst: 11 / 12  Move: 6 / 10  AP 3/4

Summoning Cost 2
Affinity Dark
Atman 60
Bind 1 / 2
Stability 8 / 7
Shock +3


Innate Abilities: Flight, Intangible
Truncation of Fate: Enemy units of level 40 / 50 or below in Al-Djinn's control zone can not use Gnosis points.

O Absolute Change (Magic, effect):
The Al-Djinn becomes a copy of any other level 50 / 60 or lower unit in play. Taking on all of its statistics and abilities. However, it retains the LP and AP it had when it changed. At the beginning of the recovery Al-Djinn may either continue to copy the other character or may revert to its statistics and abilites (again maintaining LP and AP totals)

OO Ash Slave (Magic, effect):
Put a level 20 / 25 agent of any organization into play within the Al-Djinn's control zone. The Agent enters play with 2 action points. If the agent is killed, the ability stops being maintained or Al-Djinn is removed then the Agent is removed from play. This ability can be used multiple times to get multiple Ash Slaves but each has its own Upkeep cost.
Upkeep: O

P.S. - (Edit: I got the Greater Al-Djinn now)

[Kitsune Sidhe]

... Wow. That's... wow...

I want several of these things. O.O

[Zeru]

Wow, a rather potent Dark Summon, and inexpensive too for what it does.

The Greater version will be a huge pain if the Truncation of Fate ability becomes more potent.

Absolute Change is incredibly powerful imo, especially for lesser version being so cheap.

Ash Slave is a rather interesting one as well, being able to copy any organization's agent, and multiples at once, makes this summon a minion master of sorts.

I imagine taking Genma with this Summon, and then using it to summon 3 Empire/Church Agents for combat purposes, while keeping it in the back lines. Hoard lists with multiple Al-Djinn will be frightening.

Belith with this summon would be immensely dangerous combination as well.

Damn, there are some many uses for this summon.

Copy Samiel and gain undying. 

Gain agents based on what you need. Empire agents if you need a tank, Samael or Wiss agents if you need a flanker or extra ranged attacks.

[GrimWizard]

Heh, I suppose that is one way to guarantee people buy the agent models....... 

[Aki]

one question: does those agents count to my total army levels?

[Hiro]

no they would not. Those agents are free summons!

[Karring]

Guys, this Djin is BRUTALLLLLLLLLLL
What about church agents? You can summon saints; the three could heal 6 points of life, I think it is not a bad possibility. And the same for three assasins of shadows (Azur agents, I mean).

[Honigkuchenwolf]

hum sorry I Can't verify the sentence about the abilities of the higher version. it's not only the level  of the abilities who are changing.

[Hiro]

Use Djin to summon infinite agents for High Arbiter Alastor's Terminus. Kerberos can be added to give all those azur agents +1 attack.

Nasty.

[Kagami, The Renegade]

Damn! didn't expect this one to be spoiled so fast. At this rate Saga III will be spoiled in a matter of months XD

Anyway, now you see as I already stated, between the releases for a certain month it wasn't Arkham or the Raziel the most interesting but this guy   Tactical possibilities are infinite and the fact is a Dark summon means is available to any Organization thanks to Bellith.

[Meliondor]

The problem I see: Bind 1, stability 8.

You summon him and use him to summon an agent or to copy a character (Cordelia Rosalinde, Odin, Black Lion, I don't know, so many bad things *g*).
The following turn you can use him.

Then he is removed if you don't make your stability check. You don't only pay 40 points for him, but you also have to take an overpriced summoner (all summoners are overpriced), that uses his AP to summon this creature, that doesn't come with full AP.
This is the biggest problem of summons.  I really like him, but I never liked summoning, because I think it is too weak.

Only possibility to summon: Bind 2 (at least), Samael Advantage. So you summon it on turn 2/3 and it stays 3 other turns for sure

OR you use Genma. I play Genma as a limitless summon battery, to great results thus far.

Summoners overpriced?

Belith can be a quite effective without summoning with her three other skills at 45.

St Hazael is a flying tank with some nice skill sets at 55.

Arbitator Arkeid is seen by many as the better of the two Azur leaders even at 85.

Only Genma a pure summoner is questionable, but as more summons come out she becomes more and more attractive at 35.

The one thing that does scary me with this summon is the Shock +3.  Seeing as he isn't the most tough unit (even if he does change) that could be deadly to the summoner.  I've dealt with shock while playing summons and its not that devastating even if you had to go through it twice, but adding 3 to that could be summoner killer.

Yup have her parked way back with say Cordy in a dark faction party and have two ballroom snipers blasting way!
