Where do you get this? It sounds like a little kids creation. I can't say a lot about wishes, but the Alibaba Djinni was the only Djinn that did 3 wishes (Djinn is the species, Djinni is a female Djinn just so we understand our origins, Genie is an English translation of Djinni, then people who didn't do research just assumed it was the species & now we have what amounts to male actors being called actresses. Djinns grant wishes to bargain with humans. They can be trapped in any object that is closed. In traditional stories people make the mistake of dealing with Djinns & always get screwed over. They are bound to a bargain they have made they are not "animal" or "water" or any of that nonsense, they make deals with lots of things. What try can do is inconsistent & changes by the story, but if you wish for a million dollars, you'll get a million dollars, but that money will come from some millionaire & you'll be charged & go to jail. If you ask for 1 Ton of gold, you'll get 1 Ton of gold, & be crushed by it. In many stories people try to find ways to get around the Djinn & make it catch-free, but thru always fail. The moral of those stories is that it's better to appreciate what you have than dwell on desires. Faeries have a similar weakness, being Fae based on the vice of vanity they are usually caught by having a mirror, they can't resist looking at themselves, & you close them in, once they are sealed in they can't get out, it's a common Fae weakness, & to be let out they can be bargained with similarly, but have whatever magic that story limits them to.
