Synopsis

There are rules to everything magical, from how carpets fly to how enchanted mirrors answer questions. Did you ever wonder where those rules came from? As the brilliant but brash young genie named Khalid finds out, the rules are made in schools for magic. Khalid the genie is close to graduation when his teacher lets him try out a lamp of his own. Unfortunately, Khalid forgets to tell his first master the most important rule: Humans are only entitled to three wishes, with no wishing for more. When his master wishes for an infinite number of wishes, Khalid the genie is stuck.. unless he can find a princess to save him
