A few rare mortals, whether through forbidden sorcery or simply an ill-conceived wish, become infused with the power of a djinn. These individuals are known to the djinn as '''[[DjinnTheBinding:Antagonists:FalseOnes|False Ones]]'''. They are effectively immortal, but the human body was never meant to contain so much power, and their minds tend to crack under the strain of keeping it under control. | A few rare mortals, whether through forbidden sorcery or simply an ill-conceived wish, become infused with the power of a djinn.
