Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Of the same stock as angels or demons, these spirits have been created from smokeless fire by some deranged god. Unlike regular living beings, they draw their sustenance from magic rather than eating or drinking, although for some reason they can still do the latter - probably due to being unintelligently designed by a creator with no knowledge of evolution.

Magic is literally their life, to the point of their health and magical powers' being one force, called "essence". The Djinn can also withstand more magical contamination than most, and slowly recover from its effects.

Being spirits of fire, they obviously suffer no harm from any kind of fire, but the same cannot be said of their equipment. Accordingly, cold and water cause them great harm. Fortunately, levitation allows them to cross bodies of liquid, although without external means to power their flight it takes them much effort to do so.

Djinn make great fire mages (duh). They are competent with air magic, enchantments, magic items, and weapons with long reaches that don't require high dexterity. They are terrible with ice, earth, necromancy and poison.
