genie in a bottle

so i am imaging 3 items, available in stores:
genie in a bottle, genie's lamp, and a genies lock box

the genie in a bottle would be about 500, and have 3 charges. when you used it, you would get a dialgue (maybe a vey weak genie summon) who would bring up a dialogue;
what is your wish?
1. I wish i had heal potions (potions of cure moderate wounds) 500
2. I wish I had barkskin potions 750
3. I wish i was stronger (bulls str)750
4. healthier (bears endurance)750
5. more graceful (cats grace) 750
6. wiser (owls wisdom) 750
7. smarter (foxs cunnng)
8. charming (eagles splendor)
9. I wish i had mage armor (potions of mage armor) 1000
10. I wish I had a ghostly visage 2000
11. sorry to bother you

the genie would say, "wish granted" and you would recieve randomly 2 - 10 of the requested items in your inventory.
if you say sorry to bother you, the genie either turns on you, (if it has a summon, and not just a dialogue box) or the bottle shatters.

a genies lamp would cost about 5000, also with three charges, offering a protection spell with difficult dispellability
1. i wish i had better protection (improved mage armor) 2000
2. i wish i didnt get hurt so mush (greater stoneskin) 2000
3. i wish my weapon hit better (greater magic weapon 15) 2000
4. i wish i... (energy immunity?) 2000

you get the picture


finally the genies lock box (crystal ball?) would cost 100,000, with just one charge
1. I wish i was richer (20,000 - 180,000 gold, random)
2. i wish i had a good weapon (random generated +3 or higher weapon, and possibilty of rig add ons)
3. i wish i had good armor (rng +3 or greater armor)
4. boots (rig +3 boots, (not or higher))
etc, etc.


the idea is to have something in case you forgot to go to the store before adventuring, have run out faster than expected, or had essential protections dispelled. the prices would be at a premium, plus the cost of the bottle/lamp.

the last one, just for kicks and giggles.

..and maybe a lore:planes and/or diplomacy check. if you fail, a curse(like -1 Attribute or -4 skill points for the bottle, -2 attribute or -8 skill for the lamp, and a level drain or death for the lockbox. youd still get your wished item, just you may get to enjoy it in the fugue, or need remove curse, lesser restoratio or restoration to enjoy it fully... ...to give the irony of wishes lore thing some flavor.
