=Djinn=

The Djinn or "Genie" as it is colloquially known is a possessor of rare talents and charms. According to Mohammedan tradition they are creatures who attend church, raise crops, marry, and die. This is true. Unfortunately, slighting one will reveal a less human-like countenance.

The Djinn can indeed grant its famous three wishes, but only after being bested in combat and pinned. Once unable to struggle, it will yield and grant such wishes. Nevertheless, as creatures of remarkable memory and longevity they will first contrive to ruin your life through the semantics of your wishes and, should this not produce your demise, slay you after the fact. The first vampire, Lilith, survived by wishing for immortality. Jakob, the patriarch of Israel, wished for the genie's blessing (thus ensuring its mercy).

Arabs in all but matter, the Djinn can be killed using dark, sharp stones: Obsidian, while fragile, proves an excellent substance for a blade. Piercing its stomach will produce the stench of death and disease, the Djinn consume their victims and force them to eternal life in their stomachs. The imprisoned would thank you with their gratitude if they weren't already dead, strictly speaking.

The Djinn should then fall into the sands. If possible, cover its body, as even after death Djinns may speak to relatives and heirs.
