'''Genies and Master Genies''' are level 5 creatures of [[Tower]]. They are recruited from [[Altar of Wishes]].

''"Genies and master genies are Tower allies recruited from the realm of [[air magic]]. They attack with a shocking grasp that does solid damage to all opponents and 150% damage to [[efreet|efreeti]]. Once per turn, master genies can cast a random, beneficial spell on an allied troop."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 114|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Spells ==

Spells cast by Master Genie are random, and casting them uses the genie's turn. The number of master genies in the casting stack does not affect the effectiveness of the spells meaning, that one master genie is as effective as a hundred. This makes it beneficial to divide them into several stacks. All spells are considered to be cast at the advanced level of the corresponding [[Magic school|school]] with a [[spell power]] of 6.

== Heroes with a specialty ==
*{{H|Iona|Alchemist}} and
*{{H|Thane|Alchemist}} have genies as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any genies or master genies for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.

== Tactics and info ==
{{Fanopinion}}

The Genies and Master Genies bear average stats for a level 5, and their low health make them unlikely candidates for entering melee combat unless needed or their casts have run out.

In a [[Tower]] army, their [[Speed]] of 11 allows them to cast a spell before [[Titans]] act if Master Genies are in higher slot.

Like [[Enchanters]], their spellcasting is not completely random. They will only cast [[Air Shield]] if enemy has ranged troops, [[Slayer]] only if there are valid targets, [[Bloodlust]] only if you have melee troops, [[Anti-magic]] and [[Magic Mirror]] only if facing spellcasting creatures or enemy [[Hero]]. [[Cure]] will only be cast if target stack does not have full [[health]].

Their spellcasting is affected by [[Terrain#Magical_terrains|certain terrain types]]. Army-wide spells like [[Bless]], [[Haste]], [[Counterstrike]], [[Prayer]] or [[Shield]] can be devastating, especially when combined with another spell cast by your [[hero]].

Despite their [[Hate]] for [[Efreet and Efreet Sultan|Efreeti]] they should stay away from them, because in combat Efreeti are almost twice as powerful as Genies. Efreet Sultans present additional danger because of their [[Fire Shield]] and superior speed of 13 that allows them to cross the battlefield and likely wipe the Genies out in first strike. Due to Fire Shield, even Genies' attack against Efreet Sultans after someone soaked up the retaliation is controversial, and as they do 150% damage, Fire Shield will become more powerful.

Sometimes Genies can become a decoy for the enemy who would attack them by the majority of his units, and this will save lives of [[Naga and Naga Queen|Nagas]] and [[Giant and Titan|Titans]], who are much more powerful and will keep wiping out the enemy.
