It is the position of the undersigned that the criteria for what constitutes a valid "wish" under the established genie-master agreement must be clearly delineated and adhered to. Firstly, it is understood and generally accepted that the invocation of a wish is predicated on the specific phrasing "I wish for" appearing at the beginning of the request. Absent this phrase, the communication in question does not qualify as a wish, but rather as an informal request or statement, which the Genie may choose to acknowledge or disregard at their discretion. Secondly, the actions taken by the Genie in response to such non-wish statements—hereafter referred to as "requests"—do not involve magical obligation. Any such actions, whether granted or denied, are administrative in nature and do not require the exercise of magical power. While the Genie retains the right to use magic voluntarily to assist in menial or procedural matters (e.g., transcribing, reading, or physically transferring objects), such use is discretionary and not compelled. Thirdly, it is customary practice that the Genie provide pre-established guidelines outlining the types of wishes that are considered unacceptable or non-permissible (e.g., those involving temporal manipulation, resurrection of the dead, etc.). These guidelines, once communicated, form a binding framework within which all valid wishes must operate. If a request, even one formally introduced with "I wish for," falls within these prohibited categories, the Genie is within their rights to deny the wish in accordance with the agreed limitations. However, any command or request introduced with the phrase “I wish for” that does not violate the established limitations must be recognized as a valid wish, and the Genie is thereby contractually and magically bound to fulfill it.
