I thought it was rather obvious what tentacles to pluck him out of the sky means. He doesn't know the exact wording, but it's not hard to guess the wish was for him to not fly. The efreet would have had much better ways of killing him if that had been the wish. Wishing for him to not pursue Zane would have required him to not be able to stare at Zane as he escapes.
