I want a novel about a genie who tries to work with you in breaking down a wish to be as specific as possible to get your desired outcome. But then you and the genie start to uncover how difficult it would actually be to get the specifics of your wish without it causing massive problems in the world around you (the genie effectively provides simulations of how it plays out before actually granting the wishes). Like a lawyer / pedantic genie or similar.
Sorta, but I want the genie and wisher to really take time and plan, discover issues and loopholes, conflicts, etc. All before the wishes are actually granted (if ever).

You might really enjoy this comedy sketch: https://youtu.be/lM0teS7PFMo
That was excellent!!!
All of their stuff is! Truly an underappreciated comedy duo.
Not to mention, one of them was the voice of Sokka in AtlA.
That is definitely in the right area, and it was excellent!
Obviously, non sketch form, so things can really start to be fleshed out, but I understand the need for a short form, too.
Isn’t this the plot to Bedazzled? Bedazzled (2000)
