What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The Djinn allows himself to be imprisoned so he can bargain with prisoners and harvest their souls.
The Djinn offers prisoners wishes whose wording produces grotesque, self-defeating outcomes.
Three wishes from Morgana would enable the Djinn race to conquer Earth and kill humanity.
The Djinn’s bargains culminate in theatrical bodily violence and disturbing supernatural consequences.
