The mechanic is very cool. I like that you referenced old artifacts for the effects, and that you even included the drawback on the green one. I'm not sure about the flavor... for one thing, these don't seem much like Djinns. In Magic-land at least, Djinns are beefy creatures with drawbacks.

I appreciate the existing precedent.
Still, I guess my own personal statement about Djinns is that they make better characteristic creatures than iconic creatures. At least, that's how I'm approaching them in this set.
Really like the idea for these! Nice one. The creature type looks a little weird here, though not impossible to imagine. Would you consider Efreet as they're already represented with small dudes?

Djinns? I dunno. There will definitely be at least three rares, and one mythic. I'm considering more.For reference: Puppet Strings, Rod of Ruin, Star Compass. Yeah, there's a little Magus thing going on here, and maybe a Sliver thing, too.
[EDIT]: Decided to go with Efreets after all.

Also, they aren't always big.
