While Allo was drawing this Efreet yesterday, I couldn't help drawing the mug of this adorable boyo. That hair is just 👌😔

This is Matteo, our ship’s cook! He’s an efreet, and possibly the most well-adjusted crew member despite being perpetually surround by something that can kill him (water).

Yusri, Fortune's Flame (with proxy) (2024)

Finally got around to trying my hand at the side-profile style from CMM/MH3. When I saw Ivan Shavrin's version of Ashling and how he rendered her flames, I just HAD to make this.

Also, I love how MtG does efreet characters. They're so lanky and have these really cool fiery cracks running through their skin. :)

Prestige Class Spotlight 14: Daivrat

The relationship between mortals and genie-kind is sometimes quite tense, and often imbalanced, with one ruling over the other, whether it be by physical might or magic. Few places is this more true than Qadira and the greater Kelesh Empire, there powerful conjurers mastered the art of binding genies to their service. Many wonders and structures across the empire owe their creation to genie labor or wishcraft, and many such genies remain in servitude even now, waiting as only an immortal can for the day when the culture changes and they and their kin will be freed, either to go on their merry way, or to exact their revenge.

But not every spellcaster in the land is a genie binder, nor do they necessarily view the elemental beings as potential or current slaves. Indeed, the Daivrat, a word that roughly translates as “genie-friend”, are quite the opposite, viewing genies as equals, trusted advisors, and comrades.

Such mages offer to help the lot of genie-kind, be they slave or free, and can expect to gain willing favors from such beings in kind, even from the most vicious and domineering varieties.

While none would choose to control genies as their counterparts would, daivrats are in a position to bargain fairly with genies that they either encounter or call upon with magic, and if there’s anyone that a genie would look for loopholes in their contract for or offer wishes genuinely without twisting them, it would be to a daivrat that has proven true and good as their word.

So let’s take a look at them!

The requirements for this prestige class include third-tier magic, focus on conjuration, and a greater mastery of certain lore (thereby making in available at around the same time for both full and mid casters), as well as knowledge of the four elemental languages and peaceful contact with a genie, making this a decent option for most casters outside of minor ones.

Naturally, they also progress with their mastery of their magic for all but the first level.

Each daivrat also specializes in either an element or elemental damage type, making appropriate spells harder to resist. Naturally, this later improves.

With their reputation and familiarity with genie customs, these mages are quite adept at both identifying and endearing themselves to genies of all stripes.

These mages gain the service of minor incorporeal genies they can call upon to retrieve spell information during their daily preparations, giving them access to a spell they would not normally have access to, even from outside their normal spell list or casting tradition. However, the unfamiliarity of these spells means they require greater magical energy to cast, less so if it was a spell that they could theoretically have learned on their own.

Their reputation with genies also bolsters them when they summon or call genies, making summons last longer and it easier to bargain with them.

They also gain a ward against an elemental damage type from their study of the elements.

Powerful daivrats earn the service of a lesser zhyen genie, which serves as their familiar.

The most powerful of these mages become so infused with elemental energies that they become partially genie-like themselves, gaining elemental resistances and a tougher body.

If you want to play a mage that works with genies, but really don’t want to deal with the controlling aspects of being a genie binder, this prestige class may be for you. Gaining buffs to the DCs of your favorite element, as well as being able to get an extra spell from any source each day is fun, as is the elemental resistances. However, the core of the class is in the buffs they gain to diplomacy and negotiation with genies, so only consider this prestige class if you know the game will have lots of opportunities to interact with them. Additionally, consider how different classes interact here. Divine casters might be even friendlier with genies due to having planar ally instead of planar binding, while a more martial caster might use the class to add spells beyond their combat-focused list to their arsenal each day, as well as fight alongside genies and elementals directly. Also, if you’re not also diving into the genie binder, consider picking up the summon genie spells from People of the Sands.

The flavor of this prestige class implies that the character is at least on good terms with genies, and that lends itself to a lot of good story beats like genies, including efreeti, asking the character for aid. As a GM, you should consider how to fit such things into the story, and also when they would be disruptive to the plot you are trying to tell.

Ever since learning of the existence of planes beyond the material and fey realms, Kersta of Bloomwood has been eager to learn as much about these new friends as possible, which led to her studying conjuration magic and later the art of befriending elementals and genies. For their part, most genies are amused by the flighty and adorable gathlain, and are usually willing to aid her.

One normally doesn’t think of genies when thinking of Bolgara Marsh, but rumor has it that it was once host to great elemental power. Finding these sunken ruins won’t be easy, but if the native vodyanoy are treated respectfully, they might be convinced to show the way. Supposedly, the ruins might hold secrets regarding the lost elemental planes of metal, wood, and possibly even stranger elements as well.

A grand theft of the Sultan’s vault has the court up in arms, for the stolen treasure contained a bound efreet malik. Whatever the plans the thief has will surely pale in comparison to the revenge the powerful genie would wreck if set free. As such, the royal mages are of two minds about the whole thing. The binders naturally want to recapture and renew the wards on the genie to control him anew, while the daivrats naturally wish to try and placate the fire spirit and set him free to his long-neglected home on the elemental maelstrom.

I was listening to Tales of OSTs when I felt the urge to draw this scene from Xillia

Jinn is the green one, Edimmu is the yellow one, Efreet is the red one. They share a model.

I played a bit of Heroes 5 and Heroes 7 so I got a djinn brainrot. I thought that maybe I could design a djinn that uses a lamp as a weapon instead of just living inside it. Also, a bishounen because I am boring. Also, a small idea. I drew him the way he cannot pull his hand out of the lamp. which means that he needs to use some help. Maybe there would be some hands to give him a hand?

Rainbow efreet is a very interesting card because, at one point in its lifespan, this card was competitive viable. Yes, rainbow efreet has quite the pedigree as a tournament card and even got a world championship deck reprint. The gold border reprint is not legal to play in any format but does this alternate printing have an impact on this card? Most reserved list cards hold substantial value only because there is just one printing. This card has a non-legal second printing so is this a card to be avoided? I would say that one other printing is not sufficient to lower the price of this card. The extra gold border copies should not have any market impact. The world championship decks are not easy to find anymore and many people will only play ith black border cards. Many people also remember rainbow efreet as it saw frequent top 8 play in numerous tournaments from 1997 to 1999. Can you see how much the power level of creatures has chaged post 2000? A 3 power flyer that needs double blue to protect itself for 4 mana would never see play in standard today. Yet, rainbow efreet was considered the go to control finisher for years. For this reason alone I would say pick up a playset of rainbow efreet. Nostalgia is a real phenomenon and many people will have fond memories of rainbow efreet. People will want a few copies in their collection to represent a simpler time in magic when competitive creatures did not need an etb to be considered worthwhile. Rainbow efreet was just an attacker that could protect itself and at the time, that was more than enough. Today, even a 4/4 flyer with hexproof for 4 mana would be draft chaf. Do you prefer the 20 lines of text required for a creature to see any play or does simplicity make the game better? Rainbow efreet could see play again, especially in commander, if the stats align. If there is ever a commaderor mechanic that cares about phasing then this card might have a place in a phasing matters deck. They still print new cards that phase things out so I can see a commander that wants to phase things in an out. Is rainbow efreet still good enough for a casual phasing commander deck? On edhrec, this card sees play in about 200 decks. Niambi, faithful healer decks, play this efreet for flavor reasons. Niambi is teferi's daughter and teferi is in the flavor text of this reserved list card. Maybe a teferi commander deck that only uses teferi cards would have to run this. Mairisil, the pretender, decks sometimes run this card to steal the phasing ability. Phasing for two mana is excellent protection and you want to keep that commander safe. Currently, the price of the card sits around a dollar. You can find cheaper copies if you look hard or do not care about condition. Rainbow efreet did spike in early 2021 but this occurrence encompassed almost every card on the reserved list. It was a strange time. The card was about fifty cents beforehand so the spike ultimately had the consequence that rainbow efreet is now a 1 dollar card instead of fifty cents. However, if they ever release a phasing pre-constructed commander decks everyone is going to scramble to find copies.
