Djinn

Djinn are creatures that are capable of granting wishes. They are the equivalent of gods. The offspring of Djinn are spirits. A spirit can make 1 wish. In most cases a spirit will wish to be a djinn. A djinn is capable of granting very weak wishes unless married to another djinn. When married, a djinn gains absolute power over a single thing such as love, magic, time or water. A djinn can manipulate this element without a wish. Wishes cannot make, change or destroy spirits or djinn.

As seen with Hallovan, a spirit can choose not to become a djinn by wasting his wish. Bodyless spirits can create half spirit clones of them self. These copies cannot marry or make wishes but can communicate with others. They can only create up to 11 clones.

The djinn of time made the prophecy that if a single spirit was stronger than both his parents at controlling their elements, he would become a djinn without a wish. This is Hallovan's second motive. Every Orstlander is someone who created a new destiny for Orstland and thus has partial mastery of time. When the eleventh Orstlander is revealed in book 6, Lorents rebuilds his heart of souls and fuses with every Orstlander to become Karifer. Karifer has the combined magical power and destiny alteration to fulfill the prophecy.
