The Dragon Knight	comment	The Dragon Knight series is a series of fantasy novels by Gordon R. Dickson. The first book was loosely adapted into the 1982 animated movie The Flight of Dragons by Rankin/Bass. A shorter form of the first book was previously published as a short story, "St. Dragon and the George".The books tell the story of Jim and Angela Eckert, two college graduates who are whisked away to another dimension that is nearly identical to that of Medieval England, except there's wizards, dragons, and fairies running around and everyone speaks the same language.In the first book (The Dragon and the George) Jim Eckert is trapped in the body of the dragon Gorbash, and must rescue his wife from the Dark Powers, who are attempting to wreck the fabric of the world's space and time. Along the way, Jim meets Sir Brian, a valiant knight; Silvanus Carolinus, the world's most powerful and crotchety wizard; Daffyd Ap Hywel, the world's greatest archer and a proud Welshman; Smrgol, Gorbash's great-uncle; Aragh the fearsome yet practical talking English wolf (called Aargh in the first book, Aragh in subsequent novels); and Secoh, a cowardly miniature dragon. Jim poses as a Baron from America to gain the trust of the local Englishmen.Jim succeeds in rescuing Angela from the Dark Powers, and the two of them chose to stay in the new world. As a reward, Jim is granted a modest Barony, where he plans to contentedly live out his days — until the magical energy his deeds had earned overflows, forcing him to undertake the study of magic to control it. Because of his powers and the fact that Jim is bringing 20th century technology and knowledge to a medieval world, the Dark Powers continue to target him in an attempt to use him to tip the balance between Chance (chaos) and History (stasis).In later books, Jim is also accompanied by Sir Giles (a selkie knight), Hob (the hobgoblin of Jim's castle), and usually unwillingly involved in the affairs of Prince Edward Plantagenet.Novels in this Series The Dragon and the George (1976) — See above for summary. The Dragon Knight (1990) — Jim and his party must go to France to stop an evil sorcerer from carrying out his plan to manipulate the French government into attacking England and triggering a war.The Dragon on the Border (1992) — Jim visits his friend Sir Giles in Northunberland where the Dark Powers are raising an army of Hollow Men to destroy northern England.The Dragon at War (1992) — Jim and his friends must fight in a war between the dragons and the English on one side and the French and a navy of sea serpents on the other.The Dragon, the Earl, and the Troll (1994) — Jim and Angela adopt a baby while attempting to prevent an army of trolls from assaulting the royal Christmas party.The Dragon and the Djinn (1995) — Jim and Brian travel to the middle east to rescue Brian's fiance's father, captured in the crusades, so Brian can be legally married.The Dragon and the Gnarly King (1997) — Jim and Angela's son is kidnapped by the "Gnarly King".The Dragon in Lyonesse (1998) — Jim and his party travel to the mythical lost kingdom of Lyonesse.The Dragon and the Fair Maid of Kent (2000) — Jim helps England fight off the black plague while attempting to sort out Prince Edward's love life with the Fair Maid of Kent.See also The Flight of Dragons, which was in part very loosely inspired by the books.

The Dragon Knight / int_1086f287	type	Sure, Let's Go with That
The Dragon Knight / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: In The Dragon and the Djinn, Brian is gambling with Sir Mortimor, who is using crooked dice. James, having figured out the cheater's game, uses his magic to control things a bit more fairly. Mortimor figures out that something is up, calls the game to a halt, and he and Brian look like they are about to come to blows, as halting the game was rather rude, until James called out that he could smell smoke. Mortimor uses this as an excuse as to why he halted the game, claiming that he too had just smelled smoke himself. In The Dragon in Lyonesse, when making arrangements for Brian to be able to return home in a hurry, KinetetE makes it so the spell is activated by his clicking his heels together three times and saying "Smythe, Smythe, Smythe". Jim and Angie, clearly realizing the similarities, almost choke in surprise when they hear the method. Angie tells the Mage that it was due to the wine not being the wine for their toast and that they didn't want to drink it. The Mage goes along with the excuse, as she didn't have the polite formula to put things into words.

At the age of 8, she was willing to take a battle-ax to a dragon that had just shown up at the castle (actually, her Lord, who was dealing with a minor magical issue), in order to protect her Lady. By the age of 11, she is, in all but name, the Number Two, where the servants are concerned.

The Dragon Knight / int_18bf4326	comment	Anti-Magic: Priests, and other religious sorts, can effectively shut down a lower-ranked magician of the same religion by blessing them, or the area. That being said, the blessing must be renewed every 24 hours, and higher-ranked magicians know a trick or two to get around a blessing. Also, blessings have no effect on Nature abilities, like James' ability to turn into a dragon.

Downplayed a bit, but early on, James would have to take his clothes off in order to turn into a dragon, or else he'd ruin them. It came in handy when he used this to convince MacDougall to not attack the de Mer family after his release at the end of The Dragon on The Border.

The Dragon Knight / int_1c77ec26	comment	The Voice: The Accounting Office is a neutral disembodied voice created by the magicians of the world to keep track of the world's supply of magic and enforce some basic rules of magic. It also acts as some sort of magical bank that slightly increases the supply of magic via investment. It typically bosses Jim around, though Carolinus and later (once he graduates) Jim can intimidate it by threatening to pull their supply of magic from its management. It also doesn't concern itself with the morality of magic, only the danger a magician poses to potentially decreasing the supply of magic.

The Dragon Knight / int_1dea3034	comment	Cool Shades / Goggles Do Something Unusual / Specs of Awesome: During The Dragon in Lyonesse James creates a pair of glasses that serve multiple functions while in that mystical land. In a style similar to bifocals, the upper half reacts to bright light, and functions similar to tinted glasses, while the bottom half reacts to color, increasing its brightness, especially since Lyonesse is only safe if the scene is black-and-white to mortal eyes. James utilizes these glasses as part of a Badass Boast when trying to free Brian from the Bright Knight, and to beat said knight in a joust. Later, when James starts seeing the color red, he knew that it was time for him and Brian to leave the land.

Sir Geoffrey, upon accepting, and understanding the nature of a certain curse, never went back to England, in order to protect his daughter, and future descendants, until James and company saved him and lifted the curse.

The Dragon Knight / int_27ac178c	comment	Self-Proclaimed Knight: Two characters, at any rate Shortly after arriving in England, James claimed to be a Baron, and thus a knight. Of course, he was smart enough to claim that he wasn't properly trained for the job, once he got his human body back. That being said, there are those who have figured out that he's not that good with weapons, like Sir Harimore, but, given the fact that he's also a magician, most seem to get the idea that, at the very least, it is difficult to master both areas. However, there have been a few times where James has been close to admitting the lie, and has to bite his tongue, as it were. Justified in the case of Mnnrogar, King of the Trolls, in the guise of a Black Knight, due to the fact that Kings can declare who is, or is not, a knight.

Thus, in order to protect his daughter, and possible future descendants, he never left, until he was rescued, and the curse was lifted. As it was, the nature of the curse was something he wished not to talk about, until James forced him to say what it was - leprosy.

As Carolinus has often said, Jim's expertise with magic would scarcely be enough to graduate him past a C rank, but his understanding of people and danger, beyond anything the other humans in his new time can fathom, provide a far more vast pool of potential than anyone can expect. And sometimes, he even unexpectedly thwarts their plans just by doing what comes naturally to him, even if it wildly contradicts what other people in his situation would do.

The Dragon Knight / int_44a1dd10	comment	King Incognito: Occurs quite a bit in the series - Daffyd is of the Drowned Lands Royal family, but prefers to be an archer, as he wishes to live where time exists. Only on a few occasions does he use his true rank, as in the case of convincing the Little Men to work with the men of the Borders in order to defeat the Hollow Men, and during the times he's in the Drowned Lands themselves. Prince Edward, and Princess Joan, disguise themselves as a poor knight and squire, respectively, when they go to visit James in The Dragon and the Fair Maid of Kent. Played with, in the case of James, as he isn't really nobility but others think that he is. In The Dragon and the George, Danielle is convinced that Baron is the least of James' titles, on the basis that no Sorcerer would bother with a mere Baron. The king himself does this in order to attend Brian and Geronde's wedding unofficially, although everyone already knows that it it is him; they just have to address him as Sir Jack Straw.

Dragons also see humans as this, especially after the battle of St. George against a dragon. Initially, dragons were upset at not only being the loser, but also being the villain. After a century of indignation, most came around to the idea that George was a formidable opponent, and would talk about what they themselves would have done. As a result, dragons started to call humans "Georges".

The Dragon Knight / int_4b17763f	comment	Technology Marches On: In an in-universe situation, when James and the others head into Lyonesse in order to defend it from the Dark Powers, James ends up being challenged by an armored man. James is able to best him due to the differences in their respective armors, given that the armor worn by James was that of Medieval technology, while that of the other man was the sort worn by warriors a thousand years earlier. This is even mentioned during a conversation between James and Brian as part of a concern when the Dark Powers' forces, most of them being outlawed knights and the like, are about to face off against the Knights of the Round Table. Luckily, King Arthur's knights manage to prove victorious, with the outlaws fleeing, but this is mainly because they believed that God was on the side of the locals, especially since there was a lion and James, in dragon form, near King Arthur, as if the figures on the king's shield had came to life.

In many cases, it's a good shield that means the difference between life and death. Daffyd himself once had trouble taking out his crossbow-using opponent, as the crossbowman had a number of friends, who'd use their shields to protect him from Daffyd's arrows, because while Daffyd could make the shields useless, he only had so many arrows compared to the shields that were protecting the crossbowman.

The Dragon Knight / int_501de366	type	Temporal Paradox
The Dragon Knight / int_501de366	comment	Temporal Paradox: Possibly because of Jim, the history of medieval England is all off. Bits of the Renaissance have leaked in prematurely, such as early aqueducts/sewer systems, some medicine, blood transfusions, paned windows, more efficient indoor heating, and theatrical special effects. (It's all either managed or chalked up to magic, though.) Plague is ahead of schedule and noted events don't match the times they historically occurred. Carolinus dismisses this as the history books being wrong. Jim is explicitly responsible for several changes, however. He may have blunted the Black Plague substantially, by explaining how the disease is transmitted by fleas, found on rats, even going so far as to suggest bringing in more cats in order to deal with them. He also taught his fellow knights a lot of songs they shouldn't quite have known. The series implies, however, that these changes and discrepancies are all to the good; if History grows too strong and these chaotic elements are not introduced, the world lapses into Stasis.

The Dragon Knight / int_529a3369	type	Fights Like a Normal
The Dragon Knight / int_529a3369	comment	Fights Like a Normal: James avoids using magic when fighting other humans. This is because magic cannot be used to harm others. Also, it would be seen as dishonorable to be under the effects of magic during a fight. Case in point, in The Dragon Knight, he and his men, using sticks that made them invisible, had snuck up on the French King's position — just before the charge, he'd ordered the group to throw the enchanted sticks away. Giles, and his family, are selkie, who can turn into seals when in the sea. Understandably, while useful in the sea, the ability is useless on land. As a result, he and his family fight like any other human. Played with for Mnrogar, a troll who learned how to joust in order to locate another troll that was hiding in his castle. However, he is still much larger and stronger than a normal human, which when combined with his boar-turned-horse, which was much larger than most warhorses, allowed him to easily defeat most human knights in the Joust. Only Sir Harimore gave him any real trouble, and that was because he was on par with Sir Brian in terms of skill.

Dragons used to eat humans, until they, the humans, grew shells (armor), horns (lances) and started charging them on their horses. Seems that even a dragon can fall to a human in that situation. As it is, in the first book, there was talk of the winner of a raffle eating Angie, had James, in Gorbash's body decided that holding her for ransom would be a better idea. Trolls are also known for eating humans, which is why having several hundred in the area were a concern in The Dragon, the Earl, and the Troll.

The Dragon Knight / int_58833512	comment	Watering Down: During major parties, there is a tendency to add water to the wine that folks drink. Part of this is the idea that adding water will reduce the odds of intoxication, allowing guests to feast longer. Of course, given how much folks drink, this doesn't have much effect. Geronde, after her father gets rescued, in preparation for her wedding, makes Brian swear to add water to any wine he drinks, much to Brian's annoyance. In his own words, he'd rather drink 19 glasses of water to have a glass of good wine, instead of ten glasses of watered wine. James, on one occasion gets around this by personally pouring Brian a glass of straight wine and giving it to him and, since it would be rude and unguestly behavior to refuse a host's own service, Brian is obligated (and relieved) to accept the wine.

The Dragon Knight / int_5989e3b6	comment	Enemy Mine: Happens a few times in the series — sometimes even the villains pull this off as well. Daffyd, a Welshman, has a chip on his shoulders where English bowmen are concerned, joined James and Brian in The Dragon and the George because he wanted to prove himself to Danielle that he was just as good as them. They became friends afterwards. Sir Raoul, a French knight in The Dragon Knight, would rather see the English driven into the sea and fight them, as opposed to work with them, but the Mage Malvinne has corrupted the French court, and killed his family, and thus doesn't want him in power over his beloved France. Sir Lachlan, a Scottish knight in The Dragon on the Border, wouldn't mind a war with England, if Scotland could win. However, while fighting on the defense against English aggression is one thing, invading England is another, and is foolish, which is why he's against fighting England. Then there's the issue with the French, who'd probably betray them. Likewise, in The Dragon on the Border, James has to convince the Border Men and the Little Men to work together in order to fight the Hollow Men. In The Dragon At War James has to convince the English Dragons and the French Dragons to, at the very least, make it look like they are working together against the Sea Serpents trying to invade England. James attempted this between the titular Earl and Troll in The Dragon, The Earl, and The Troll in order to find a "hidden troll", but to say that negotiations fell through is an understatement. In The Dragon and the Djinn, James and Brian have to work with Baiju, an Mongol, in the Middle East, along with a few others, in order to foil the Real Mastermind's plot. Likewise, in The Dragon and the Djinn, James and Brian have to work with Sir Mortimor, in order to survive against an attack of Sallee Rovers, that is, Moroccan Pirates. James forms one with Hill a Gnarly in "The Dragon and the Gnarly King". In The Dragon in Lyonesse, the men of the Drowned Lands cooperate with King Arthur's knights, against an invading force commanded by the Earl of Cumberland. Among the villains, most seem to work with the others, but they generally don't like each other, alongside the Dark Powers. In fact, Hugh de Bois has worked alongside of the evil mage Malvinne, and later, worked alongside the Earl of Cumberland, Agatha Falon, Queen Morgan, and the Earl and Agatha had worked with the Gnarly King prior.

Likewise, even local magicians wonder about him. However, due to the fact that he can use magic, and can think up plans, to say nothing about his other-world experience, he is able to accomplish things thought impossible, such as being able to best superior Magicians, convince conflicting groups to work together, fight off difficult foes using simple tricks, and save England.

Played straight where anyone on the wrong end of Daffyd's arrows are concerned, as his arrows can go through plate armor.

Thus, in order to protect his daughter, and possible future descendants, he never left, until he was rescued, and the curse was lifted.

The Dragon Knight / int_6c3d1777	comment	Magic A Is Magic A: Magick has inviolate rules, spelled out in a painfully large encylopedia. The two most often referenced in the series are that magick cannot be used offensively, and magick cannot cure diseases. However, Carolinus and KinetetE both note that at the highest level of magick, a magician discovers entire new worlds of magic to be studied which are not bound by these rules. Jim actually determines that 'magick' as Magickians know it is just one fraction of the accessible powers of the world. Jim also raises questions about magick that even Carolinus hasn't considered, to the latter's half-amazement, half-annoyance. Speculatively, magick can't cure diseases only because no one has figured out how to do it properly; even the wisest medieval minds focused on symptoms, not causes. Magick also cannot cross over into kingdoms, such as those of the Dragons and Wolves, since they would have no way to be aware of or defend themselves from whatever would come their way. Jim uses this to his advantage by having Aargh attack Malvinne, for instance.

The Dragon Knight / int_70c462fb	comment	AB Negative: In a couple of books, Brian and Daffyd are at risk of dying due to blood loss. In The Dragon at War, Daffyd is injured from multiple crossbow bolts. When the possibility of doing a transfusion is brought up by James, one of the first hurdles is to figure out who gets to donate the blood, so that Daffyd didn't accidentally get the wrong blood type. With a bit of thinking, James is able to overcome this hurdle with some magic, and it is found that his own blood is safe for Daffyd, and again, using magic, is able to slowly transfer some of his own blood into the archer, saving his life. Likewise, in The Dragon and the Gnarly King, Brian is injured due to a lance, somewhat accidentally put through him by James himself. While not as serious as Daffyd's earlier injury, Brian was still short of blood. Remembering his prior experience, James is able to figure out whose blood was good — once again, that blood was his own.

The Dragon Knight / int_72d30083	type	Cheaters Never Prosper
The Dragon Knight / int_72d30083	comment	Cheaters Never Prosper: Zig-Zagged in the same scene even in The Dragon and the Djinn, during the dice game between Brian and Sir Mortimor. Sir Mortimor uses two pairs of dice, which are shaved in a certain way, one that causes the user to win, and one that causes the user to lose. In this way, Sir Mortimor stole a lot of the money that Brina was planning to use to help find Geronde's missing father. James, while watching the rematch game, figures out how Sir Mortimor did this, and secretly begins to control the wins and losses himself, at least until the game is forced to stop, thankfully due to outside forces, because at this point, Sir Mortimor had figured that something was up, and had rudely called for the game to be halted, at which point James called out that he could smell smoke - Sir Mortimor had the sense to use this as the excuse as to why he halted the game. By this time, Brian had won most of his money back. That being said, James doesn't tell him that it was due to his magic, due to the fact that Brian wouldn't want to win by cheating.

Then there's the fact that, depending on the publisher, and even the artist, James' dragon form is always different on the cover. Sometimes he has legs, arms and wings, sometimes one pair of legs and a pair of wings, and then there's times he's bigger than he's supposed to be. Poor guy is all over the place.

In The Dragon Knight, James finds out about an impostor of Prince Edward, who is giving life to the lie that he's joined the French. In fact, the real one wishes to confront this impostor himself. While he, himself doesn't get the chance to do anything, he does find himself face-to-face with his fake. However, James, upon remembering a story he'd been told prior, manages to deal with the situation by splashing both the real one and the fake with water, causing the fake, who'd been made from enchanted snow, to melt. As it is, James felt like he'd murdered the fake. In The Dragon in Lyonnesse, James and company encounter a fake of Dafydd, standing before a rift. Once again, the real one wishes to confront the impostor, only for James to use the fact that he'd been previously warded to allow him to walk up to the fake, and cause it to distort and collapse, as it was little more than a magic illusion, along with the rift.

In The Dragon and the Gnarly King, a priest, under the orders of the Earl of Cumberland, blesses James, preventing him from using magic – although he was out of magic anyways, and attempted to do the same to a weakened Carolinus, only to be stopped by the Bishop of Bath and Wells (Richard de Bisby).

The other knight challenges James to a fight, and James goes to meet him in the street. Knowing that the other knight was, most likely, better with a sword than himself, James claims that he cannot draw his sword, unless it's to first cross blades with that of a French knight. The other, so impressed by the sort of bravery that must be necessary to make such an oath, expresses his admiration. James even puts an end to any conflict by inviting the other knight, Sir Giles, to share the room with him and Brian, due to another oath he made that restricts him to the floor. Sir Giles soon becomes one of James' Companions after this.

In The Dragon and The Djinn, James finds himself in the sights of an upset Sir Mortimor, who was previously having an argument with Brian, until James talks about weather pressure systems, whereupon Brian explained that James was a magician.

The Dragon Knight / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: Given the setting of the book, this sort of thing does happen. James and Angie, being from the late 20th century, often have to learn how to deal with things that others just take for granted. One instance is James' tendency to invite others, regardless of rank, to sit down with him. Servants and man-at-arms however, don't sit down with their lord and master, and thus feel uncomfortable when he makes the invitation. Angie basically gives them an order to disobey said invitation, much to their relief.

The Dragon Knight / int_aba0cd10	comment	Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: In some situations, Brain and Daffyd, and their other companions, are this to James, mainly to keep him from making mistakes that might be embarrassing and potentially damaging to James' reputation. Justified in James' lack of knowledge of the way some things are, and they also justify it with the fact James being a Magician is a little out of touch with the common folk, along with the fact that he's not English. James himself is occasionally this to Brian, especially when Brian is gambling, or it looks like someone is trying to goad the knight into a fight that might cause trouble to James' plans. Lady Geronde states that she prefer to have Jim traveling with Brian because of this. A downplayed example occurs in The Dragon Knight when James takes his squire aside, telling him to keep an eye on Brian's relatively inexperienced squire, who will be leading the men while James and Brian are away, due to being of Rank, unlike James' squire, a former Chief Man-at-Arms. James' squire understands, promising to keep things on course. As it is, Brian has also given the same orders to his Chief Man-at-Arms. The two manage to do this, all without letting Brian's squire know that they were doing this. Oddly enough, it is while reflecting on this that James realizes that Brian and Giles had made a similar silent agreement where he was concerned, although he doesn't bring it up to them, and is touched that they care enough about him to keep an eye on him.

The Dragon Knight / int_abdf1659	comment	Bodyguarding a Badass: James might be a magician, and have the ability to turn into a dragon, but when he travels around, he tends to have his Companions, or about half a dozen men-at-arms, near him. This is justified because there's times that James gets attacked by foes, and lacks the ability, or time, to utilize magic, or it's not practical to turn into a dragon at the moment, and he's only just good enough to utilize his mundane weapons to protect himself in a fight. In such cases, even having half a dozen men-at-arms tends to come in handy, to say nothing about his Companions.

Chester doesn't find out but acknowledges the pair for their assistance. While reflecting upon the prior situation, James realizes that Brian and Giles had made their own silent agreement to help keep him out of trouble.

When he first meets Brian, who was out dragon-hunting, James convinces the knight that he was also a knight that had been placed under a spell to look like a dragon. When he meets the knight Giles, who was in dispute with him over a room, James explains that he had made a vow not to draw his sword unless it was to cross blades with a French knight. Giles is actually impressed by this vow, and James defuses the situation by offering to share the room, to which Giles accepts, and eventually becomes a Companion. When Brian and Mortimor are gambling, and a fight is about to occur between them, James is able to use complicated words to throw Mortimor off his idea of provoking a fight with him. When taken prisoner by the Earl of Cumberland, James is able to convince the Earl that being a prisoner was just part of the plan, preventing the immediate execution of James and his friends.

Unfortunately this also makes him a target of envy by other knights like Sir Harrimore. Daffyd also shows signs of this, being an exceptional archer, and always competes against those who think themselves better with the bow, and on one occasion, wrestled two men in his father-in-law's outlaw band at the same time, breaking his arm in the attempt.

There are ways around this - Many experienced Magicians will cast a ward of sorts around them, which allows them to to use magic on Holy/Blessed grounds, or in areas that their magic is foreign, although native magic-uses could strip them of this ward if noticed. Previously caused magics can still work, such as the soothing box in The Dragon, The Earl, an the Troll.

The Dragon Knight / int_e2ef7c20	comment	No Man of Woman Born: In The Dragon in Lyonesse, James comes across a knight who claims to be under a curse, wherein he cannot marry the one he loves unless beaten in a spear running and a sword fight, and part of said curse is that he can't be beaten by anyone born upon this earth. Reluctantly, as part of the curse doesn't allow for James to decline the fight, James has to face him. After beating the knight, due to the fact that Technology Marches On, and there's a thousand years of advancement between the armors worn by James and the knight, to say nothing about the fact that Gorp, James's horse, is bigger than the one used by the knight, James tells him that of all the knights currently alive, he wasn't born on this earth.

The Dragon Knight / int_e43b42ea	comment	We Need a Distraction: Occurs on more than a few occasion. In The Dragon at War, when meeting the French king and enemy sorcerer, James has Daffyd rush to the other side of the room, so that James could close in with the sorcerer and punch him in the guts, before he could use his own form of magic. In The Dragon and the Djinn, Brian is gambling with Sir Mortimor, who is using crooked dice. James, having figured out the cheater's game, uses his magic to control things a bit more fairly. Mortimor figures out that something is up, calls the game to a halt, and he and Brian look like they are about to come to blows, as halting the game was rather rude, until James called out that he could smell smoke. Mortimor uses this as an excuse as to why he halted the game, claiming that he too had just smelled smoke himself.

The Dragon Knight / int_e77d9c2f	comment	In one of the books, Angela turns into a dragon through sheer force of will but Carolinus locks away her powers because two 20th-century time-traveling magitek wizard weredragons would be more than he or the world could handle. Angela, however, had no magickal credit, no training, no association with the Accounting Office, and no inherent ability to transform. According to Carolinus, whatever she did nearly destroyed the fundamental cosmic balance. Fortunately for their relationship, this does not forbid Jim from using magic to transform Angie when she wishes – except this only happens once in the series.

Embarrassing enough, the guy wore less armor than him, making James overconfident, until getting kicked forced him to his knees, with a sword to his throat, being forced to chose between surrendering or dying. Luckily, the outlaw Giles and his men were nearby, one of which put an arrow into that raider, saving James' life. Afterwards, Brian noticed that James was in a bit of pain, and upon learning of the injury, tells James that at least he won't die from it, and tells a man-at-arms to fetch some wine for James. From then on, James uses this as a very good reason not to underestimate peoples' danger to him.

However, due to his 20th century upbringing, which declares that War Is Hell, he is often reluctant to actually fight, or at least start one. Then there's the fact that as a Magician, he can't take any aggressive actions, unless he has to. That being said, when push comes to shove, and he is forced to fight, he fights to win.

The Dragon Knight / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Hobgoblins are cowardly and kindly goblins who have power over smoke and hide in chimneys. In one of the latter books, Jim's hob raises an army of hobgoblins who summarily wipe the floor with a much larger and more well-trained army of goblins. James himself also qualifies; he's a peaceable, good-natured person who always prefers to solve disputes by diplomacy, and is very good at talking his way out of jams - but he's also a tall (a giant by the standards of the medieval era), powerfully-muscled, skilled athlete who's highly agile and is especially good at high jumps. He's a pretty rudimentary man of arms compared to Brian, but then, as noted above, Brian is probably the best swordfighter in England - and as the series progresses, James becomes a good enough fighter to defeat a belted knight in single combat (in his human form) and a sea serpent (in his dragon form), a creature bigger and more powerful than a dragon.

He called out a lower ranked priest that had tried to "help" James under false pretenses (by blessing him, thus stripping him of his magic, not that he had any at the moment), forcing the priest to return back to their area, on foot, and begging his way back. He would later hold his own against deep-earth goblins, who had attacked him and James, and their guards, on their way to London.
