In many myths, humans discover genies living in inanimate objects like bottles or oil lamps. If a human disturbs the artifact, the genie within will be released.
Genies become servants to humans who free them from their vessels, and they use their immense magical powers to grant the wishes of whoever they perceive as their masters.
However, the genies are not like how humans expect them to be.
Genies are supernatural creatures who lose their physical bodies for some reason. They live inside an inanimate object to preserve their soul from expiring. Once it is disturbed, it doesn't mean that they are freed from being locked inside the object. They will just willingly go out of it to prey on whoever it may be.
The humans will be unaware that they are being preyed upon, but the three wishes granted to them are simply a requirement for the genie to take over the human body as its own, and the original soul will vanish into nothingness.
