    5. Jann- Swirling out like miniature dust storm, thankful for its freedom and will do a favor within its power for you
    6. Marid- A several story tall being (how'd it fit in the bottle?!). It will grant a single wish if you can stump it with a riddle, best it in battle, or flatter in a manner it has never experienced.

  98. Alkahest/Universal Solvent-Because it is traditional.
  99. Azoth- The Universal Medicine, The Universal Life Force. Can heal any wound, bring back the dead, inspire minds to new heights of creativity. It is the light of creation distilled into liquid form. It is the opposite of THE ORKUS.
