genies can change only their own shape, but a rare
few can use the spell on other creatures and
objects as well.

Wishes. The genie power to grant wishes is
legendary among mortals. Only the most potent
genies, such as those among the nobility, can do so.
A particular genie that has this power can grant one
to three wishes to a creature that isn't a genie.
Once a genie has granted its limit of wishes, it can't
grant wishes again for some amount of time
(usually 1 year). and cosmic law dictates that the
same genie can expend its limit of wishes on a
specific creature only once in that creature's
existence.

To be granted a wish, a creature within 60 feet of
the genie states a desired effect to it. The genie can
then cast the wish spell on the creature's behalf to
bring about the effect. Depending on the genie's
nature, the genie might try to pervert the intent of
the wish by exploiting the wish's poor wording. The
perversion of the wording is usually crafted to be to
the genie's benefit.

When the blazing sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see where to go
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,

— Twinkle, twinkle, little star
