[QUOTE="Sigurd, post: 2179426, member: 19412"] The flaw in this is the convention that the 3 wishes are something that is free for the efreet and that he cannot use the effort himself. Both of those are convention and not very realistic. IMC Wishes can take a lot of effort - that they look simple from the wishers perspective is only because they care little for the imposition on the efreet and because the efreeti are that good. If an efreet cannot figure out a way to make something happen he goes to the great bazaar and seeks aid. This aid is never free, its not even cheap. Many is the efreet weighed down by bargains he was forced into to achieve a stupid wish. Permissions to get, wars to avoid, or cause. All manner of things. Of course Efreet rarely 'wish' themselves they don't need the agrivation. When you have the powers of the great Djinn what else can you need. That is not to say that djinn have no ambition, or that they have never had great plans for themselves. Still nothing can shorten an immortal's life faster than stirring things up. That is for mortals - they have such small lives. Death seems almost redundant. s [/QUOTE]
