So you were frustrated by a djinn which wouldn’t let you ask for infinite wishes? Oh, it was being kind. Really truly.
Djinn are sadistic. They don’t actually feel a need to pervert every wish. That’s a lot of work and can involve boring arguments, and besides, it’s not necessary.
Even if you have a good supplier, the way I do, let me tell you: get the 9 wish version, and share it among three idiots. You never know. One of them might even end up happy.
But the infinite version? Seems like a great deal. It’s not a lot more expensive and think of what you could do with 9 wishes.
COULD do.
Won’t do, but…COULD do.
Infinite wishes don’t have a very high financial margin, but the pleasure and amusement can be very fulfilling; if you know a workahlic Djinn who wants to do things but also, whether they admit it or not, needs a break… this makes a great gift.
Because, statistically, it takes about 8 wishes for your average first-wish-is-for-infinite-wishes to wish something which either kills them outright, or is so incredibly destructive threat that…you know, no need to speak o f such things. Let’s keep this on the cheerful side.
Let’s just say that blessing-to-curse territory comes very soon after ‘A lot of money;. Like ‘A lot of money, and also fame’ doesn’t take long to get into ‘A lot of money, but no revenue authorities know about it, or they magically don’t care for some reason, and interest is calculated and explained to me by equally powerful magic, and fame, yes, but definitely living somewhere nobody can actually find me and especially not take photos of me’ and the end is something like two or three wishes away.
(It is interesting to note that almost no-one wishes for ‘a quiet, peaceful death’. A few do, in fact, stammer out, ‘I wish for death’. What they almost always say, in their last words are ‘get me out of this Hell!’
So. Would you like to buy some wishes?
