Line 148:
* [[Merlin]]'s apprentice Fuddie from ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters]]''. He can grant Jake one wish every full moon, but he ''never'' gets it right, possibly being hard of hearing. For example, the first time Jake told Fuddie to make him "invincible" and Fuddie instead made him invisible. Fortunately, Jake usually manages to improvise.
* Zigzagged with Twilight Sparkle from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''. While she does eventually master Alicorn magic (which has been stated to be ''very'' hard to learn and ''very'' dangerous if used wrong) when she makes mistakes, she ''really'' makes mistakes. She accidentally turned her own parents into plants during her entrance exam (maybe it was funny to the viewer, [[Fridge Horror| but when you see this from ''her'' point of view]]), in "Bats" she turns Fluttershy into a vampire (the ending even suggesting Fluttershy may ''not'' be fully cured) and in the episode "Lesson Zero", her Want It, Need It spell [[Idle Hands| (cast with the intent to ''create'' a Friendship problem because there were no other problems for her to handle)]] turns a stuffed animal into a [[Clingy MacGuffin]] that ''everyone'' who sees it wants to have, unleashes a [[Hate Plague]] of jealousy due to fighting over it that infects half of Ponyville. Seriously, Twilight, [[Evil Is Not a Toy|Magic Is Not a Toy]].
* Sadira from the ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' series. Initially a lower-class thief like Aladdin was, she is first a [[Hopeless Suitor]] towards him, and by complete accident, finds a hidden cache of spellbooks and magical items. Though she gains the potential to become an incrediby powerful sorcerer (able to summon elemental beings, open portals to other dimensions and alter reality), her obsession with Aladdin causes her to misuse them and create disasters that require help from the protagonists to undo. It says a ''lot'' when a demon that you yourself summoned has to point out your faults with [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] routine.
