Genies

Genies are type of neutral magical spirits native to Earth. They are renowned for being capable, and sometimes willing to grant wishes.

Physiology
Genies are gaseous, humanoid beings. They do not possess legs or genitalia, but can otherwise look like almost any kind of human phenotype.

Genies typically live in small containers of sort, such as bottles, lamps, cans and boxes.

Both male and female genies exist, with a gender ratio of about 50/50.

Powers and behaviour
Genies are the most powerful singular magical species below the demigod-status. Only a few Living forests, and clustered Poltergeists can even be considered to have more influence on the physical realm. Different types of genies have influence over different matters.

Most types of genies can, for example: All of these powers are limited by the type and experience of the genie in question. While capable of using magic at any time, genies can only increase their power by granting wishes for sentient beings. Thus, even malevolent genies have a tendency to grant wishes when given the opportunity, although it is inadvisable to present wishes to malevolent genies.

 * travel though time

If angered by an exceedingly stupid or reckless wishes, even benevolent genies might be angered and cause harm to the wisher.

These nautical genies look much like sailors, or possibly a pirates. They typically grant three wishes for whoever finds them, or two wishes per person if more than one people summon it simultaneously. Nautical genies are often times very lonely, which either makes them very affectionate or very irate.

These genies look most often like drunkards. A rare variation that lives in bottles of fine wine, champagne or whiskey can have a very sophisticated look.

These types of genies will grant only drunken wishes: that is, the wisher has to be drunk.

Genie in a brief case
Often times called the Lawyer genies, they almost exclusively have tailored suits. These types of genies are extremely nitpicky, and will cling onto any and all inaccuracies stated with wishes. This makes them very dangerous, and it is often recommended just to give up and release them without granting any wishes.

Trivia

 * Liquor bottle genies are never of the malevolent variety, as the drunken wishes of their masters often times cause enough trouble as it is.
 * Some more obscure types of genies have been found to inhabit lockets, oil drums, shoes, juice boxes, memory sticks, cuckoo clocks and even toilets.
