One could imagine a Stargate SG-1 episode in which the SG-1 team goes to a planet inhabited by an Arab civilization and hears about the existence of an "oil lamp" containing a "genie." The lamp turns out to be an advanced Ancient device and the "genie" could either be a hologram generated by the lamp device and controlled by an artificial intelligence within the lamp device or alternatively an ascended being who is held captive by the lamp device.
The lamp device, or the ascended being bound to the lamp device, would have the power to manipulate reality to a limited degree and within a certain range of spacetime. This would allow it to grant wishes to a person who rubs the lamp device.
The SG-1 team members would search for this device in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands (e.g. the Goa'uld) while pondering and being tempted by the lamp's, or the ascended genie's, wish-granting abilities.
Would this have been a good theme for an episode?
