Under the Djinn skin
The Djinn is all about conditional relationships and the feedback loop that
forms when a person injects themselves into people's lives, using what they
have to buy their acceptance and gain control. In this give and take
relationship, the parasitic nature breeds feelings of resentment all around as
they continue to play at the same games in gaining the upper hand. There’s
wasted potential on part of the Djinn in repeating this disastrous interaction
of wish fulfillment and trying to change the situation to fit one’s needs.

At first glance the gifts may seem to hold a lot of weight in what they do, in
reality it allows for the chance to bypass the call for a single dice roll,
skipping the question “Can you do this?” and instead leaves everyone to play
in the aftermath of what transpires, asking the question “Is this really what
you wanted?” Encourage people not to deprive them of what they were
asking for in using the gift, but do give them more than they expected.

GIft uses may go in either two directions: everyone clings to the Djinn trying to
get their share, in that case go crazy playing up the monkey’s paw angle where
they use the gift. People may also shy away from them, afraid of dealing with the
fallout of using them; in that case just throw in eager NPC’s that are more than
willing to use them on the players, including the Djinn themselves.
