VAR I ANT: G E N I E POWERS
Genies have a variety of magical capabilities, including spells.
A few have even greater powers that allow them to alter their
appearance or the nature of real ity.
Disguises. Some genies can veil themselves in ill usion to
pass as other similarly shaped creatures. Such gen ies can
innately cast the disguise self spell at will, often with a longer
duration than is normal for that spell. Mightier genies can
cast the true polymorph spell one to three times per day,
possi bly with a longer duration than normal. Such 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 nobil ity, 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 li mit of wishes, it can't
grant wishes again for some amount oftime (usually 1 year) ,
and cosmic law dictates that the same gen ie can expend
its limit of wishes on a specific creature on l y 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 b out 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 bene t.
