>>When Jafar wished to be sultan, why did that include putting the palace on top of a mountain?The wish being granted must contain some magical way to intuit the persons desires beyond just the phrasing of their language. So to some degree extraneous magical manifestations were granted in addition to the strict literal interpretation.
>>When Jafar wished to be a genie, did that nullify his sorcerer powers or did he have those in addition to his genie powers?Probably him already being a mortal sorcerer enhanced his new genie powers, which is why he was about to toy with the blue genie.
>>When Aladdin wished to be a prince, why that the only wish implied to be some kind of illusion/lie? 5 out 6 granted in the movie were unambiguously real. One even included making Jafar royalty.Clearly the manifestations regarding "being a prince" were based on the latent mental expectations of Aladdin, or the genie's understanding, or even perhaps of society.
>>Why was the genie able to act without a wish being made when getting Aladdin out of the cave but needed to consider rescueing him from drowning a wish?at that point in the movie Aladdin and the blue genie had had a falling out, so perhaps the genie is forbidden from messing with mortals outside of his relationships.
