Max smiled and approached his four terrified friends.
"First of all, it's time to restore you all." With a single gesture, they all had their right body parts back to normal.
Max began pacing up and down while counting off demands off his fingers: "Second, I wish you all will continue to serve as my magic assistants no matter how ridiculous, degrading, or bizarre of an illusion I come up with, and you will enjoy it."
"I want you guys to know that you still are all of my friends "“ not puppets... So I also wish that you don't lose your sense of free will, but you will have no desire in taking the stone away from me."
A soft glow emanated off of his 4 friends' heads. Max knew that his wishes were all about to come true
