* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: And how! The first of the Djini's victims (a petty thief) wished to be famous, only for the Djini to disfigure him, so now he's [[ExactWords famously]] ''ugly''. The curator wished for a unique statue to add to his museum, so the Djini turned him into a statue, making him a one-of-a-kind addition to the museum. When it comes time to garner more victims, she forces the prince to make a wish: to become like his brave ancestors who sealed her away. Sure enough, she makes him part of his late ancestors' tapestry. An entranced Diana wishes to be smarter and is rewarded with a [[MyBrainIsBig painfully big brain]]. A hypnotized Java follows suit when he wishes to "fit in", and is turned into a pile of jigsaw puzzle pieces.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Deconstructed. The prince who was descended from the royal family that sealed away the Djini is painfully aware that he's nearly as courageous as his ancestors. It's even to the point that he's insecure enough to resent his ancestors for setting a high bar for heroism.

* HeroicWillpower: When the Djini turns her attention to Martin and forces ''him'' to make a wish, he instead wishes to know how to defeat her so he can save his cursed friends. Not long after, the Djini tries to tempt him with the possibility that he's but one wish away from making Jenni his girlfriend. As badly as he wants to win her over, Martin wills himself out of the temptation and makes the wish that seals away the nasty Djini.
