    I always liked the idea that the genie rules, when they’re presented, are not laws/rules so much as hard physical limits. You can’t wish for more wishes because the genie just doesn’t have that much power. They’re powerful, but they’re not God with a capital G. The genie tries to add a electron to every atom in the universe. If fails and collapses with exhaustion before it’s even finished adding one extra electron to every atom in your body.
