Chang's illusion of a genie.

A genie was a mythological being from Earth said to have the power to grant wishes and live inside a lamp. The mythology of the genie in the lamp (and the derivation of their name as well) was thought to be derived from legends of beings called djinn, who were later found to be very real. (TOS comic: "All of Me")

History and specifics[]

In 2156, Captain Jonathan Archer wished he could trade all of the Earth Starfleet's Daedalus-class starships for NX-class starships, but he considered that as likely as finding a genie in a lamp willing to grant wishes. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)

In 2264, a giant genie caught the USS Enterprise in its grip; this was actually an illusion created by Chang. (TOS comic: "Sceptre of the Sun")
