The creation of keris antique swords, daggers, and weapons are a long and complicated Magickal ritual that involves the blending of the metal with magickal ingredients and the invoking of a powerful Genie (also known as a Jinn or Khodam Spirit) into each of the keris antique swords, daggers, and blades. What gives keris antique swords, daggers, and weapons their power is the Khodam or Jinn that resides within it. The Khodam or Jinn is a magickal spirit that normally exists in a parallel dimension. It requires the performance of complex rituals to draw a Khodam or Jinn across the threshold and encourage it to make its home in magically prepared objects, like keris antique swords, daggers, or weapons. Unlike the Alladin story, however, the Khodam or Jinn do not appear to the user physically to grant all of his or her wishes.

Different Khodams and Jinns will have different strengths, and different religions or affiliations.
