It’s been so long since I’ve seen a Soulmage story and it’s still just as good as anything else you’ve written!

No, the genie fulfilled the wish. The genie had told the wisher earlier.

If you're saying that they didn't do something now to fulfill the wish since the request had already been filled, good luck arguing in genie court that the genie didn't use temporal magic to have done that in the past after the wish was wished.

That should still result in an unused wish. Since he was already told, he just doesn't remember.

My guy was already so jagged from the first two wishes he didn't even bat an eye out of sadism himself, he just wanted the genie to get wrecked and matter of factly watched

I thought Debbie downer meant pessimistic?

Anyway, I think they got so carried away by the story they forgot the prompt already states what the third wish is

I feel like he inflicted that last bit on himself and that makes it so much better. Mutual destruction - the genie brought him to the edge and he jumped over taking the genie too - but they don't have the mercy of a hitting the bottom.

The genie actually did tell him the entire spiel of rules for the spells when he first emerged, but there was so much else going on that the wisher didn't hear or notice it.

Imagine if someone was trying to discuss the syllabus for a graduate-level university course with you in the middle of a fireworks show.

Ita like being Thanos, with the infinity gauntlet, being trapped in a lamp

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad the worldbuilding came across—this is part of a much larger world and story, and many of the words and elements have deeper meanings within the larger magic system. If you want to see some more of the mages in this world, the favorite clash of magics I've written is here.

There was a sprinkle of that in there, I'm glad you caught it :)

Thank you for the kind words!

I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS

This is without a doubt my all time favorite genie story. First of all your world building was incredible. It was as if I could feel and imagine the thundering power of the mages and genies.

Then second of all, the conclusion to the story was great. Not only did you think of a 'torture' that would truly make the genie pay for its sins, but you also worded it in an inspiring way that really hit the point across.
