Except for that whole thing where it is completely unreasonable for him to refuse to grant you a Wish, because his actual choices are literal death (and being devoured by a Barghest) or Imprisonment, or, in the alternative, the super terrible "unreasonable" granting of a wish, and then getting two for himself.

Something so unreasonable that apparently he goes and does it three times as soon as he can to the nearest stranger as part of an incredibly dumb plan to thwart you.

Damn, now I know why the Wish and Word use Steal SLA, because people are so unfathomably filled with spite that they will make literally the dumbest possible thing as an excuse to explain why CR 8 monsters that exist for the express purpose of granting wishes never grant wishes.
