Would a "Mythology" entry pointing out the way in which the classic genie inverts this trope be out of place? I'm referring to their lack of any special power or magic to grant wishes; they simply had skills and abilities beyond mortal ken, and maintained estates and resources such that human wishes were usually a triviality for the genie to fulfill.
