Anybody Who's read "Arabian Nights", please help!
If anybody has read that book and you know the answer, please feel free to answer.
I what to know the name of the story, and or the main character's name in the one story where he acquires a ring that has a jinn (or genie) in it. And I don't mean the Aladdin story. That story does have a genie in a ring, but it was supposed to be a less powerful genie than what was in the lamp.
There was another story with a similar ring where that genie had about the same power as the lamp genie.
I know this is very specific, and will more than likely come back unanswered, but it's really been bothering me, and I would have to probably reread that book to find out.... and that wasn't a short read.
Just thought I'd try asking...

The ring jinn is part the 'Aladdin's Lamp' story and is the spirit conjured by the magician's ring. You are right, he is less powerful than the lamp jinn.
The only thing I can remember about the magician is that he was an African Magician who tricks Aladdin. He also has a brother which features in the tale later on.
Sorry this is brief - I hope it helps!

There are various translation, and not all have the same stories.
