'''Jinn''', also known as '''Sylphid''', is one of the eight [[Mana Spirit]]s in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. Like the other Mana Spirits, Jinn first appears in ''[[Secret of Mana]]''. Taking his name and likeness from the {{wp|Jinn|''djinni''}}<!-- pronounced "genie" - this is actually the plural of "djinn".--> of Arabian mythology, Jinn represents the dual elements of wind and thunder. The majority of Jinn's powers and abilities control thunderstorms, tornadoes, wind gusts, and focused blades of air. In many titles, Jinn has secondary abilities that analyze and alter states of mind among foes, such as confusion and "spacing out." Since ''[[Trials of Mana]]'', he can also support parties by manipulating magic defense or quickening the flow of time. Befitting his element, Jinn is typically cast as an "airhead," not always aware of his actions, but nonetheless cheerful and helpful toward those who seek his aid. | '''Jinn''', also known as '''Sylphid''', is one of the eight [[Mana Spirit]]s in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series.

Jinn is once again the third Mana Spirit the party encounters. He is found in [[Gusthall]] on [[Heavensway]] in the Laurent region, but when the [[Darkshine Knight]] breaks into the cavernous maze, he forces the elemental to call forth [[Harcypete]]. Defeating the master harpy releases Jinn to accompany the heroes. | Jinn is once again the third Mana Spirit the party encounters.

In ''[[Sword of Mana]]'', Jinn is the fifth Mana Spirit obtained. He is imprisoned within a round boulder inside of a small cave deep into [[Jadd Desert]]. The [[Sumo|Hero]] and [[Amanda]] have to defeat four [[Cockatrice]]s in order to free him. Upon being freed, Jinn rejoices and reveals that he has been imprisoned for a long time. Jinn's unique move is [[Speed Up]], which costs 3 MP, and summoning Jinn himself costs 6 MP. Whenever Jinn is summoned, it creates a whirlwind in front of him. This is necessary to destroy a [[stone seal]] blocking a cave near the one where the Hero and Amanda rescued Jinn. | In ''[[Sword of Mana]]'', Jinn is the fifth Mana Spirit obtained.
