-Magically Clean Sim: Boosts a Sim's hygiene to maximum and grants a +20 "Magically Spotlessly Clean" moodlet for 30 minutes. Does not wake sleeping Sims, has unlimited range, can target any life stage and significantly increases relationship with the target Sim.
-Make House Spotless and Sparkly: Cleans the entire lot after a 2-second warm-up, and temporarily adds a sparkling effect to the inside of the house. Cleaning does not extend to toys and beds and only works indoors. A wish to use this ability is a frequent occurrence when something is affected by it.
-Summon Food: Summons perfect quality food. Almost all types of food may be summoned, with the exception of Ambrosia.
-Banish Sim: Removes an unwanted visitor from the lot. This will significantly decrease the relationship between the genie and the other Sim.
-Ensorcel Sim: Mind controls a Sim for 4 hours. The Ensorcelled Sim will get the Ensorcelled moodlet for 4 hours, and their PlumbBob will glow purple. The moodlet has no positive or negative effects, and is cast on Sims outside the active family. "Mind control" simply means that the target Sim is temporarily added to the active family, with no autonomy. Hence, this cannot be used to have more than 8 active Sims in the household. The said Sim may be released and even have their inventory accessed by the player.

-They have a longer lifespan like werewolves, vampires, and fairies. Their lifespan is approximately twice of a normal Sim's.
-Like high-ranking Sims in the firefighter profession (Ambitions), they are immune to fire.
-If they die, they'll retain their powers.
-If Supernatural is installed, Genies can be created in Create-a-Sim, or other Sims may be turned into a Genie by a 'Vial of Bottled Genie' elixir.
-Genies cannot be soaked.
-Like vampires do at night, Genies build up skills quicker.
-Genies are absurdly considered one of the most powerful life states, as they can easily help normal Sims fill up their needs, keep places clean, and prevent people from entering your household's lot without permission.

-Genies do not have plasma, as vampires cannot drink from them. (Late Night or Supernatural)
-Ensorcel can make the victim homeless, moving them out of their household.
-Genies cannot get a spray tan.
-Very difficult to have a Genie join your household without Supernatural installed. If Supernatural is not installed, the only way to get the Genie in your household is to release them from the lamp. To do so, you have to heat the lamp in the oven, freeze it in the fridge, and explore the catacombs with it.
-The said lamp in the previous disadvantage cannot be obtained through the buydebug cheat. It has to be obtained from a legendary performance, inside the catacombs, through a PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor's dimensional gate upgrade, or for 30,000 lifetime happiness points.
-Other genies and certain NPCs are immune to Ensorcel.
