[quote="Calluna"]1. In the Citadel, Aladdin says Mozenrath is "barely older than me" and Moze doesn't correct him, so I'd say that's fairly accurate.  :) Most people have him 18-19ish if Aladdin is 17...

Most people have him as Destane's apprentice and often... the last thing you listed.  :lol: But all we know for a fact is what I posted before, that Mozenrath says that he was "like a father" to him. He could be an apprentice, or adopted. He might not have been living with Destane at all and was like a father to him in some other way. He could have been some other relative, like an uncle or grandfather. And if we're pretty sure Mozenrath was learning magic back then we don't know that he learned it from Destane or with his permission (although I would say that is the most likely...). And there's a lot of argument over whether Destane had the gauntlet before Mozenrath did. Anyway, you have a lot of room to decide whatever you want.  :wink:

2. He looks like this as a mamluk (one on the left) :

Before that we don't know what he looked like. Jafar stayed away from him for some reason, but whether because he was more powerful or was creepy or had bad breath no one knows. :lol: He ruled the Land of the Black Sand and Mozenrath also stole "his power", but whether that means the gauntlet or something else is not clear. We don't know if he had mamluks or if the LotBS was anything at all like it is now in those days.

It's kind of frustrating that they give us just this little bit of information. It's worse than knowing nothing in a way. :lol:

3. Um, not sure whether the magic stays the same or is converted in some way... When Mozenrath was using Genie's power taken from the crystal it was still blue, as opposed to the gauntlet's which was red (in that ep anyway...). But then in the series there's this whole big thing that you can't mix different types of magic or you'll have major problems, so whether that means Genie's magic was close enough to Mozenrath's for him to use or whether the Crystal of Ix is a kind of universal adapter for magic I can't say. :lol:

[i]And can only one person at a time use it? (Like, if Mozenrath locked someone in it, would Mozenrath be the only one who would release that person?)[/i]

The only person we see using the words to activate it and deactivate it is Mozenrath, but I don't know whether he's the only one who can or not. There might be some other kind of limitation. They were able to free Genie in "The Hunted" by breaking the crystal, though.

Can other people extract the magic from something someone else trapped in there, though? Well, in "The Hunted" Iago got close enough to the crystal and tried to use Genie's magic against Mozenrath, but he got zapped when he tried. Whether he was doing it the wrong way or he got too much magic too fast or whether it backfired on him because only Mozenrath can use it is not clear. (I know I keep saying that, but it's true. :lol: Most of the things having to do with Mozenrath are a mystery wrapped in an enigma.)[/quote]
