Ranma blinked at the genie. "A wish? I thought it was supposed to be three wishes."
"Yes!" The bouncy blonde girl agreed. "It used to be three wishes but times change, you know? Too many people were just screwing themselves up with three wishes and there were some problems and - oh it was just a mess!"
"So... I could be rid of my curse?" Ranma had been disappointed a lot over the past few months, he wasn't getting his hope up.
"You have to say the magic word," said the genie, pointing at a chalkboard with the word "WISH" written in nice block letters in English, then in Arabic, Japanese, and Egyptian. "You only get the one wish and there are a few provisos and such."
"Huh?"
"Limits," explained the genie kindly.
"Oh. What kinda limits?" Ranma asked, understanding now.
"Okay, these are different from the ones we genies used to have, but like I said 'times change' - so:"
The chalkboard changed so it now read:
| Terms &
Conditions of Use: Genie Wish (1) Rule #1: You can't simply wish for more wishes. Not permitted. Not gonna happen. Rule #2: The power of Life & Death is not within the province of this particular genie. He'd have to contact an outside source - and if that's a no go - you'd have wasted your wish. So no killings, and no resurrections. Rule #3: All wishes will comply with the Law Of Conservation Of Magick, least amount of magic required to reach the specified result. Rule #4: No run-on wishes. Rule #5: No intrinsic world-wide changes in personality allowed. World peace would require everyone in the world to either be dead or mellowed out to the point of near catatonia.

Ranma felt a chill. Every stinking time he found a way for the curse to be cured, something would go horribly wrong and he'd be back at square one. He just knew it. If he tried to word it correctly it would get screwed up. Heck, this could potentially solve all his problems if he got it right.
Now, how could he do this and not suffer for it?
