The premise is really similar (and has a similar pun) to "I Dream of Jeannie". I've also added the name of the main actor, some backstageinformation and a cute main image.

* IneptMage: Dina, big time. In fact, it's what got her locked away in the lamp: wanting to help King UsefulNotes/PhillipII's Armada, she cast a spell to grant the ships a good weather that instead [[GoneHorriblyWrong intensified the wind and caused the mission to fail]], so the king, furious, sentenced her to confinement. And judging by the chaos that ensues any time she casts one of her spells, her magic skills haven't improved one iota since that incident.
