[WP] The 3 wishes genies grant are actually used up depending on the scale of the wish. Since humans wish for things which use up only 1 wish, 3 wishes can be granted. But apparently, your 1 wish uses up all the 3 wishes in one go. The genie is shocked and suddenly summons other genies for help.	12
