In that when one needs something, the other just put on the cuffs and be a genie. As genies could grant three wishes, the other could wish for whatever with the first two wishes. Just with the third wish, just wish the other one to be free. Then when the other needs something, it's the first one turn to put on the cuffs and be a genie, and so forth. I said similar to Charming and Snow because as you know they take turn falling under the sleeping curse. When one asleep, the other awake, and vice versa. Being a genie is a curse. Usually it's not wise to wish a genie free.

In Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, all things concerning genies was discussed. What we've seen there was the genie's curse was put upon those that committed a certain theft of magical water and because of their selfishness, they had to serve others.

Interesting that Aladdin is so far the only one to become a genie by literally subjecting himself intentionally to this curse.
