      Not if the djinn is a stickler for correct grammar.

      “I wish I had known my father” - past

      “I wish I knew my father” - subjunctive

      Nah come on, we can corrupted wish this one better… He’s transformed into Napoleon. Now he knew his father (who died when he’s 15), He’s happy when he’s succeeding, obviously doesn’t lack in confidence.

        Well I guess, from Napoléon perspective, being Napoléon is necessarily an upgrade, so it’s a win?

          Short term absolutely, the specific prereq of being “happy” is on there. Though say making him napoleon just before Waterloo would fulfill that goal, obviously I don’t think that happyness lasted.
