The Djinn

Whether in board, digital or online versions, games are the medium that takes the most direct advantage of an important characteristic of the fantasy genre: magic is omnipresent there, but never through mere words and images. In games, the power of magic is translated into skills and game actions. This splendid djinn of Oriental inspiration, one of many that the Academy "faction" offers in Might and Magic (here, in the online card game Duel of Champions), not only dazzles us with the luminous golden streaks that define her form and the bright blue at her fingertips: the "creature" card relates to spells, points of attack and defense, and power that must be used well.
