The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_112f8ee1	type	Look Behind You
The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_112f8ee1	comment	Look Behind You: Bartimaeus once defeated a group of djinn using this trick. Additionally, in Ptolemy's Gate, when Nathaniel is facing off against the mercenary for the final time, he tells him that his doom approaches from behind and shouts for "Belazael" to attack. There is no Belazael, but the tactic does get the mercenary to look behind him, allowing Nathaniel an instant to make his move.

He admits the disguise is not quite perfect and the ring is very painful, but he proudly states that "old king's mother wouldn't have known the difference." The entity inside the ring immediately states "You can stop putting on that silly accent,[...] I know your name and your true nature."

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_18bf4326	comment	Anti-Magic: We see several kinds of it throughout the series. Protective amulets, and the Amulet of Samarkand in particular, have the ability to NoSell magical attacks. One of the spells that djinn and other spirits can cast, Flux, is meant to disrupt other magical effects and attacks. The "resilience" possessed by Kitty Jones and several other characters. This quality is the most dangerous property of a Golem: as an immensely powerful creature of earth, it is anathema to the spirits composed of air and fire that the magicians summon.

The only post-transformation fault in their uniforms that gets mentioned in the narrative is in their pants (which is also rather weird, as they should simply slide off a wolf's slender hind legs without more damage - their clothing should be more damaged in their upper body section).

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_1fb440a6	comment	Voluntary Shapeshifting: Bartimaeus and the other spirits, though the number of shapes varies. According to Bartimaeus, it's an indicator of a spirit's intelligence (and therefore power) to be able to assume many shapes. Imps are often simple-minded, so they're limited to a handful of simple animal forms like pigeons, frogs, rats, etc., whilst foliots and above seem to be able to take the shape of basically anything (though there are exceptions - the utukku from book one are dead-stupid, and correspondingly donâ€™t seem to have any alternate forms at all). On the absolute farthest end of the scale is Khaba's marid Ammet, who is so good at shapeshifting the illusion even extends to the seventh plane, something which no other spirit in the series can do. Kitty, while in the Other Place, can do it as well, though she's not very good at it since she hasn't had any experience. During the course of her visit she gets better at it, but this isn't a good thing; it's an indicator that her essence is starting to separate from her physical body back on Earth.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_2173d5f2	type	Para Text
The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_2173d5f2	comment	Paratext Bartimaeus peppers the chapters he narrates with long, digressive, usually humorous footnotes. It is later mentioned that, as a djinni, he has the ability to carry on two or more trains of thought at once. Bartimaeus, as part of his introduction, informs us as an aid to our comprehension of his cranial capacity that were the text in the book overlaid with the text of three more novels, he could observe the jumble of ink that we would see and discern the text of all four stories, and comprehend them perfectly, without any trouble whatsoever. They having a multiple-track mind, while humans have one conscious and one unconscious track. Subverted hilariously in Ptolemy's Gate, when he is telling the reader something in a footnote, and Nathaniel, who is melded with Bart at the time, cuts him off in mid-footnote, saying outside of said footnote, "Will you stop doing that? It's distracting!"

Even the protagonist Nathaniel Drake can't avoid treating people around him like tools. There's maybe a sign that things will get better at the end, though the magicians have brought on a ton of destruction through their own doing and many of them have been killed for it.

On Wikipedia, it is now listed as "The Bartimaeus Sequence" and this name has also sometimes been used in publicity material, such as "About the Author" blurbs for the Lockwood & Co. series. Not necessarily a straight example, though. The original trilogy remains the trilogy of Bartimaeus and Nathaniel in London. The events of the prequel book are only remotely connected to that trilogy and set in a time period well before it.

Though also played straight in the third book where he has complex feelings about the cruelties of the government and his own part in it, culminating in his self-sacrifice.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: Played to a spectacular degree, though only in order to show how ridiculously corrupt and prejudiced the British law in this universe can be. A 13 year old Kitty is summoned to a court case by herself, leaving out any input from her parents and/or legal guardians, and she is expected to face the court alone without any kind of legal defense or assistance from lawyers (which in this universe seem to be non-existent, as the other party doesn't get them either). Psychological and/or medical presence is also missing, despite it being a case where one of the parties was hospitalized in a very traumatic event and should have not one, but two medical reports, and there is no physical evidence regarded either even although we know it exists. However, none of this is remotely important, because the verdict from the judge amounts to a barrage of partialities, legal disfigurations and highschool debate club-level fallacies, including a blatant threat of pressing charges emitted shockingly by the judge herself (in real life, judges cannot do that, and much less restricting an allegation). Finally, as if there were more need to show it, it is also made clear that the jury openly favors magicians in any case and does not see anything wrong with it, which renders the entire thing meaningless.

He then mentions in a footnote that he normally doesn't approve of burning books, "this being a favored pastime of all the worst rulers in history," but the texts of magicians are a special case because they contain the names of spirits by the thousand and thus to destroy them is to limit the opportunities of all magicians to summon other spirits.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_39688852	comment	Shapeshifter Default Form: Bartimaeus has a plethora of guises at hand, but in the trilogy he is known to be most comfortable in the appearance of Ptolemy. Faquarl similarly defaults to the appearance of a pudgy chef with a meat cleaver. And then there's their "true" forms. Faquarl's true form is quite the Eldritch Abomination (tentacles and everything), instantly killing several ravens who just glanced at it. Bartimaeus' true form, much to his eternal chagrin, is a much less impressive large blob of gray goop (though that may just be the form he assumes when he is severely weakened). Additionally it's noted that spirits, even flexible shapeshifters like Bartimaeus, tend to choose forms that fit into certain broad patterns unless they make a particular effort. Crows are an extremely common form, for example.

It also causes him incredible pain to wear it, and saps his life force with every use. He can only take it off while he sleeps, because if he is ever seen without it, his circle of magicians will slay him and take the ring for themselves in a second. On top of this, due to the many miracles he worked with the ring in his youth, the populace expects him to use the ring to solve every little problem. As a result Solomon must continue to shorten his life to appease the people, and spend what little of it he has left in unbearable agony.

From the prologue of The Golem's Eye we learn that the previous Czech emperor was absolutely obsessed with his pet birds and was genuinely fond of them as a pet owner would be. The British empire teaches Kitty and her ilk that he shot a bird each night for dinner. They also grossly exaggerate his weight. The children are also taught that Gladstone was a kind man, when we know from the books that he was a typical power hungry magician and probably took the Muggle government by force. If anything, he is shown to be perhaps more stern and intellectual than their decadent successors.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_4236acb3	comment	Kid with the Leash: Deconstructed/subverted: Nathaniel firmly believes that demons are Always Chaotic Evil, and that elaborate incantations and careful wording are necessary to keep enslaved summons in check. While this is not unjustified (Bartimaeus is very open about his willingness to free himself by killing Nathaniel and brags of magicians he has killed in the past), Bartimaeus - the demon - is often more moral than Nathaniel. He complains about being given less-than-ethical tasks, and there are hints throughout the series that both the djinni and the boy would be better off if Nathaniel had shown more trust in him. However, it is quite clear that even Nathaniel and Bartimaeus's strained relationship is unusual and that spirits will destroy their masters in painful ways given any opportunity. Of course, even that idea is subverted - when Kitty calls up Bartimaeus with talk of friendship and mutual trust, he challenges her to step outside the bounds of the pentacle protecting her to demonstrate her trust, and when she doesn't, he remarks that it was "worth a try". Whether he would have killed her, simply left, or actually taken her up on her offer was left an open question due to the ambiguity of that statement. It's likely that he didn't know himself.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness Some of the early Nathaniel chapters in Amulet include lines and scenes from Mr. Underwood's point of view, probably to give backstory that Nathaniel would not be privy to. After Underwood's death midway through the book all chapters (or sections of chapters, in the climaxes of Amulet and Gate) are told exclusively from the point of view of their title characters (except arguably one brief line before a scene change in one of Kitty's chapters in Gate). In Amulet Underwood owns a computer and Lovelace is seen using a laptop. No one else in the other two books uses any technology more advanced than a telephone, unless you count the fact that some characters drive cars. Other means of communication include regular post and messenger Imp.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_4f84cdef	comment	Smug Snake: Lovelace. Nathaniel himself in the second book. And Julius Tallow. And Duvall, seeing as Makepeace played him like a fiddle. And seeing as how Faquarl played him like a fiddle, Quentin Makepeace probably counts. Something of an Invoked Trope - the vast majority of magicians seem like scheming, selfish, paranoid, arrogant, power-hungry slimeballs... and even when they're not, the whole system is basically designed to nurture their worst instincts and grind away their humanity. Nathaniel starts out as an ambitious Wide-Eyed Idealist with at least some sense of honor and ethics, but the only way to be a successful magician is to be a ruthlessly self-interested bastard who seizes every opportunity, breaks their word whenever they can get away with it, and discards allies when they're no longer useful. Contrast Mr Button, an unusually powerful magician but basically a Nice Guy, whose unwillingness to pursue advancement at any cost has left him a sidelined irrelevancy with no real influence.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_50b05d30	comment	Disproportionate Retribution: When Kitty and Jacob accidentally cause him to crash his expensive car while playing baseball, Tallow summons his djinni, who casts a spell to disfigure the two kids for the rest of their lives. Even the enslaved spirit doing the actual magic asks him if he's sure. Jacob's family returns this to Tallow in kind by sabotaging his spellbook, causing him to botch a summoning and suffer a terrifying death by afrit. Bartimaeus also takes one on Faquarl in ancient Egypt making him lose the entire royal treasure, which earns him the pharaoh's wrath, only for a building accident which he thinks it was Faquarl's fault. What is worse, considering Faquarl's tame personality and his ideals towards fellow slaves, it could have been really an accident.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_5d3e7c6	comment	Kangaroo Court: In The Golem's Eye, we learn that when Kitty was 13, she and her friend Jakob were viciously attacked by a magician who set a demon to cast the Black Tumbler on them. Kitty, possessing Resilience, was only knocked out for a few hours, but Jakob was severely disfigured for life and temporarily blinded. Following the incident, Kitty was invited to bring her case to court. Even though all of her friends and family urged her to decline the invitation, knowing that it would be a kangaroo court and she would get nothing like justice, she accepted anyway. Things seemed to go well enough at first, with the magician not being present at the start of the hearing and being put down for contempt of court, while Kitty is allowed to tell her side. Sure enough, however, once the magician, Tallow, arrives, he tells his version of events which excoriates her and Jakob and presents himself as a saint. The judge is a fourth-level magician and Tallow's story is accepted without question. Kitty is made to pay a fine of 100 pounds for wasting the court's time, plus a further fine that is much more massive for Tallow's contempt of court in being late, as the loser pays all costs. This is the start of Kitty's days with La RÃ©sistance, as the leader of the Resistance group is present at the hearing and realizes based on Kitty's version of events that she possesses Resilience. He offers to pay her fee and has her join the group.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_7881f335	type	Chekhov's Armoury
The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_7881f335	comment	Chekhov's Armoury: In The Amulet of Samarkand, Bartimaeus mentions seeing a golem's eye among Lovelace's possessions, commenting that he probably didn't know what it was when he bought it. When Lovelace is killed, the eye is stolen by Duvall. In the same book, along with the golem's eye, Bartimaeus also sees a summoning horn in Lovelace's possessions. The summoning horn turns out to be a crucial part of Lovelace's plan to summon an Eldritch Abomination to wipe out the leaders of the government. In The Golem's Eye, Jakob makes an offhand remark to Kitty that since his family runs a printing press, they can doctor any books Tallow sends to them as revenge for assaulting Jakob. Later, when the various magicians perform a mass summoning to quell Honorius, Tallow attempts to summon an afrit. His book contained an error Jakob's family put in, and the afrit devours him whole. It is suggested that this meddling could also be responsible for the yellow color of Tallow's skin, for which he is often ridiculed. In Ptolemy's Gate, the Amulet of Samarkand, Gladstone's staff, and the mercenary's Seven League Boots all play an important part in the heroes efforts to combat the Demon Rebellion. First played straight and later subverted by the serpent statue in the prequel. Bartimaeus uses it to get rid of his master near the beginning of the book after being told about its powers by the spirit that had been guarding it. At the end, Solomon tries to use it on Khaba, but only succeeds in activating its anti-theft mechanisms on himself.

In Ptolemy's Gate, Kitty has summoned Bartimaeus, hoping that together they can stop the magicians' rule. He, however, seemingly has no desire to help her. He also claims that throughout history, the enmity between him and other magicians has been absolute. "Absolute tripe. What about you and Ptolemy?" she replies, having discovered in her extensive research that Bartimaeus was known to have an unusual bond with a boy magician from Alexandria, a boy prince and Magician named Ptolemy. She knows immediately from Bartimaeus's reaction that her theory is correct, for all of his usual blustering and bravado immediately ceases. Nevertheless, he tries to play it off, asking her what she presumes to know about him, and saying that she mentioned a name and she knows what names can do. Thus comes her second question: "If you're so keen to keep matters in the present, why do you persist in wearing...his form?"

After winning against Ammet, he brings the ring back to Jerusalem and to Khaba the Cruel, at first faithfully imitating Ammet, who always took the form of a dark shadow imitation of Khaba's form. However, as time passes, he slowly allows the imitation to grow a long nose, warts and two jug-ears. Then, when's supposedly giving Khaba the ring, he instead makes it so that Khaba just misses, telling him "That was a big jump. If only you were a little taller." When the magician insists "Give it to me!" he claps his hand against one of the jug-ears, telling him that he's a bit deaf. When Khaba repeats "Give it to me!" he replies that "Nothing would give me greater pleasure," then punches him square on the chin, knocking him out and sending him sprawling.

Simon Lovelace is what Nathaniel could have become if he allowed his ambition to consume him. In the later books, Nathaniel at the lower points of his Character Development starts to resemble Simon Lovelace, which Bartimaeus points out.

When Bartimaeus was working for a military during a war in the early 1900s, he was tasked with infiltrating an enemy base. He took the form of an enemy medic and stole an ambulance. Because he's a demon (and therefore incompatible with technology) he accidentally ran over several people on the way there. Luckily, this meant that the soldiers at their HQ were so busy tending to his casualties they didn't notice him sneaking inside.

He's a moderately strong djinni, but is weaker than Faquarl and Jabor in an all-out fight, not to mention anything stronger. He gets by with his wits and running away at appropriate times, especially as he grows progressively less strong in Book 3 from being continually summoned. As djinn are the most powerful demon likely to be summoned, with afrits and marids being a sign of Oh, Crap! levels of power, he's often moderately outclassed.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_a18fda9c	comment	Dumb Muscle: Jabor has the personality down pat. We are never actually shown that he's dumb, and it's possible he just can't think straight when angry, but since he's always angry... It's mentioned in Bartimaeus' footnotes that Jabor is the type to "steadily paint himself into a corner" or "happily saw off the branch he's sitting on". Most afrits and some marids are described as being this, although it could be again Bartimaeus's particular point of view. The commonality of the trope with the stronger spirits, and the lack of it in Bartimaeus, could be easily explained by their relative power. Jabor and other spirits of great power are able to easily solve problems by simply smashing them, or the magical equivalent, simply never actually having to outthink an opponent or find an alternate means of executing an order than by the simplest path, whereas weaker spirits such as Bartimaeus have to outsmart the multitude of stronger foes they face and formulate cunning plans to avoid traps and defences that stronger spirits could just walk through, being more cunning by necessity. Faquarl is the only that is shown to have cultivate both his mind and his strength even when he has enough of both to not need the other.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_b707726f	comment	Hypocritical Humor: Bartimaeus, at times. It's unclear how aware he is of his hypocrisy, though. From the nature of his interactions with Solomon in The Ring of Solomon it seems unlikely that they ever got around to discussing Faquarl, which also brings up the subject of Unreliable Narrator. At one point Bartimaeus's section ends with this exchange: It's left unclear as to which author, if any, is accurately portraying the scene. From The Ring of Solomon: The Amulet of Samarkand has a more straight example. Seeking a way to confine Bartimaeus, Nathaniel pulls out a tin labeled "Old Chokey," which Bartimaeus recognizes as being a tobacco tin, asking Nathaniel "Don't you know smoking kills?" Nathaniel replies that it no longer contains tobacco, but rather rosemary, a potent herb for repelling demons, and lifts the lid to give him a whiff of the scent. After Nathaniel's naming, Underwood gives a big speech about how he's only moderately talented, and can only be suited for some low-ranking job with little possibility for advancement. It doesn't occur to him that he's pretty much describing himself.

Magical artifacts mostly work by either containing a spell inside of something, or outright trapping a demon inside an object. There are passing mentions of other forms of magic, and some such as the Golem can be of extraordinary power, but summoning has come out overwhelmingly on top because it doesn't require magicians to risk themselves or do things like sacrifice their life force.

Granted, he was a prodigy with high-end magical knowledge early on (though little practice), and he narrowly saved the prime minister's life. But that still doesn't explain the fact that he is held single-handedly responsible for matters of national security.

He does cope with the change well, and Nathaniel receives his information in a hot dog bun he bought from the disguised agent.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_d3b02ffb	comment	I Know Your True Name: Magicians' birth names are closely guarded secrets as knowledge of them protects you from most of their magic, while demons can only be summoned using one of their (many) true names. Bartimaeus knows Nathaniel's true name, which means that Nathaniel continuing to summon Bartimaeus would ordinarily be considered recklessly dangerous. However, the two have reached an agreement. Ptolemy told Bartimaeus his true name the first time that he asked. He, however, was unique— he never employed any punishment spells against the spirits he summoned (thus no magic to turn against him) and gained their trust through politeness and dogged persistence.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_d41832cc	comment	Written by the Winners: History classes are mandatory for commoners' children, where they're taught a version of history that uplifts the magicians on the side of the British government and casts commoners in general as weak and unable to rule. Foreign governments are vilified, and the Czechs have a particularly bad time of it, this being the ruling government prior to Britain. Questions are generally discouraged and regarded with disdain. Ironically, the government has whitewashed things so thoroughly that even the magicians themselves are never taught the full truth and actually wholeheartedly believe the state line in many things. This being ironic because if they did know the real history it would help them identify certain recurring patterns and thus, at least for a time, help them maintain their faltering power.

Many members of the other departments simultaneously overload him with assignments, and then hope he fails at them, just so they can "justify" claims that he's much too young for this sort of work. Of course, many magicians are power-crazed anyway, delighting in the failures of both their superiors (open position = more power!) and inferiors (less competition!) so maybe it's just unfortunate (see Klingon Promotion).

In addition in the second book Honorious is definitely hurt by iron and silver, yet in the third book all the hybrids are (mostly) unaffected by iron and silver. The first one has an Author's Saving Throw, in that Jonathan Stroud has stated that the mercenary might have learned some of his later skills.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: Bartimaeus in the beginning of Ptolemy's Gate. Also, djinn in general when magicians are lacking on servants or simply wish to punish them. Djinn are generally potent spirits, capable of being used to wage great campaigns of war. Yet it is not unusual for magicians to employ them to other tasks, such as preparing great quantities of food, cleaning, or posting up flyers about town.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: In The Amulet of Samarkand, when Underwood takes Nathaniel (newly christened "John Mandrake") for the Prime Minister's address at Parliament, he tries to impress upon him the importance of not embarrassing him in public. He tells him the tale of the apprentice of Benjamin Disraeli who tripped on the steps of Westminster, falling against Disraeli, who tumbled and had his fall broken by the "well-padded" Duchess of Argyle. Disraeli then clapped his hands, causing darkness to fall and turning his apprentice into an iron statue holding a boot scraper, which anyone visiting for the past 150 years has been able to use. Nathaniel's reaction? It helps that Underwood is not powerful enough to do such a trick and Nathaniel knows it too well. The Golem's Eye has this exchange after Nathaniel/John Mandrake has summoned Bartimaeus, though it is less comic than revealing of how obsessed is Mandrake with his affairs:

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Early in the first book, Bartimaeus explains that the footnotes are due to the fact that he has multiple layers of conscious thought - he can go off on tangents while still thinking about the original subject. Late in the third book, when he and Nathaniel combine, he tries to do the footnotes again, but Nathaniel stops him because it feels really, really weird. It's pointed out by Kitty that Hopkins is rather hard to remember. When Bartimaeus has to report what he looks like to Nathaniel, he realizes it's kind of tough and gives a somewhat useless description.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_feb72f62	comment	Literal Genie: This trope is usually averted, but is played straight at times. Magicians are trained to word orders in a way that averts "misunderstandings," but most spirits obey the spirit of the order anyway to avoid punishment. Bartimaeus is considered "troublesome" by magicians because he plays the trope straight. In the third book, a rather large lampshade is hung on the fact that the spirits failed to exploit a loophole in an agreement.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy / int_ff074ad4	comment	Cast from Lifespan: Anyone who casts the Ptolemy's Gate spell will find that their body has aged decades when they return to it. In The Ring of Solomon the titular Ring of Solomon is essentially this. Touching the ring brings forth a multitude of spirits, while twisting it upon the finger calls a spirit of unparalleled power. However, even just wearing the ring causes the owner immense pain and every use ages the wearer a little, sapping their life energies. Creating a Golem requires the creator to sacrifice a huge quantity of life force. A skilled creator is nearly dead after making only two, and that life isn't coming back.

Perhaps a much bigger example is Khaba - he treats most spirits absolutely abominably, but treats Ammet, his marid, with gentle loving care, and as a result has an utterly loyal henchman. When Bartimaeus tries to rabble-rouse Ammet against Khaba, it backfires on him horribly.
