Genie-binding is the art of trapping a genie in an object, and forcing them to enact wishes in exchange for freedom. It was originally taught to the Bulwari people by the genie Brasan the Emancipator, who fought to free the enslaved race. The Bulwari people then used the art to defeat the Djinn Sultanates that ruled Bulwar and push the djinn to the Salahadesi Desert and the Fangaula Savannah. Mages are unsure if the trapping of genies into Golems by Aro the first emperor of Fangaula was a form of genie binding or a different mystic art, as the methods that were used were lost due to Genies destroying any information on the subject when the retook the Savannah.
