The wish spell. Genies. Deals with devils. Even lower-ranked abilities like suggestion-type spells, depending on how they're used. It's a classic trope of RPGs that someone will use some sort of magic or magic-like ability to force someone else to do or believe something, or cause something to happen, but for that thing to not necessarily go in the way the person who did it intended.

What's your favourite story in a game you've been in where something like this happened?

it was a very weird one shot campaign in the style of magicthenoah (if that rings a bell); so very hastly written and not very serious.

In my mind it had to do something with someone getting angry and wishing for something unclear regarding him never listening and it ended badly; but this is of course super vague ^^
