Editing DjinnTheBinding (section)

===Bondage and Pacts===
Djinn can be bound and enslaved by magic rituals passed down from King Solomon, which make use of the secret language of the djinn. These rituals can be learned by mortals as well as true mages, and those who wield them – whether mage or mortal – are known as sorcerers. If a sorcerer knows a djinn's True Name or is in possession of the djinn's Anchor, they are powerless to resist. A sorcerer can also use a ritual to bind an unanchored djinn into a new Anchor. A djinn under a sorcerer's control must obey its master's every command, although it is free to twist the wording to pervert its intent.

Some sorcerers prefer to negotiate for a djinn's services rather than enslaving them. Djinn may form pacts with sorcerers, which grant both parties certain benefits in exchange for obligations, in much the same way as Changeling contracts. Violating a pact has the same consequences as violating a stricture, in addition to any punishment the sorcerer may exact on the wayward djinn.
