    Look up Jinn. While plenty of people get the general “genie” stereotype there’s a lot more to Jinn/Djinn Mythology to be explored that can give inspiration. Such as ones that… tickle you to death… cuz… why not.

    Can you give example?

    I cannot understand what you mean by powers.

    The best writing inspiration comes from reading!

    I recommend the holy Quran.

      There are also some excellent audiobooks now of the Qu’ran on audible, and torrents. I read a new-ish translation by prof Abdel Haleem, it was very well done.
