Becoming the Genie: Difference between revisions

Note that as far as genie tropes go, this is one of the furthest from the original Middle Eastern stories. Original djinn were just ultra-powerful mystical entities, even when imprisoned, and the idea that someone could turn into a djinn made about as much sense as someone turning into a leprechaun. The trope only works because the genie is treated as inherently captive and incapable of acting on its own initiative.

* ''[[Code Geass]]'' has an interesting variation: Geass itself does this. C.C. was once a normal human and had a Geass power like the other characters we see throughout the series. It turns out that in the final stage of Geass, the user can steal the "code" of the one who granted their power and become immortal. {{spoiler|The reason people are granted Geass in the first place is to create this outcome. After all, [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]? This is the only way to kill someone with Code}}.
