Their mind should have changed. They should feel like they are worthy of love.

People who don't feel like they are worthy of love are still worthy of love.

[–] Thaurin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yes, but the fact that they feel they are not worthy of love is most likely part of the problem.

That isn't what he wished for.

This is how genies usually work in most stories, they grant your wish based on the wording, and always interpret it in the least charitable way possible.

Who says it didn’t, perhaps all they needed was objective proof that they’re worthy, and the genie has now provided it.

The greatest wizards don’t even need magic.

Not what they wished for.
