Wish for something else."Evil/angry genie: Transforms PC into stone idol, transports it to an ignorant and isolated tribe somewhere along with a hundred casks of excellent beer. PC is technically a god because the tribe worships the idol.Deck of Many Things: PC is invested with a small amount of divine power, becomes a quasi-deity with power over beer. Any beer blessed by the PC becomes superb, and getting drunk on it doesn't just lower inhibitions but encourages the drinker to act out their innermost desires regardless of the consequences.Deity: PC becomes a quasi-deity, promoted to a tutelary spirit but now alignment-locked and completely subservient to the god. Example 2:"I wish I were a prince(ss)!"Wish spell: fails unless circumstances are favorable, e.g. the party already has a good relationship with a royal family and the king or queen decides to adopt the PC.Good/helpful genie: Conjures wealth and servants (Aladdin needed several wishes to get the full treatment)Evil/angry genie: Forge genealogy papers in a country known for assassinations among the royal family. The PC gets invited to the country and claim their title, but actually gaining and holding power there will be a lot of work.Deck of Many Things: Rewrite reality such that the PC is actually a long-lost scion of a royal family (switched at birth, for example) who has just discovered the truth.  But this also triggers a civil war.Deity: Angels/demons place PC on the throne of a strategic kingdom that is already receptive to divine fiat, with instructions to carry out an agenda.</blockquote>
