manipulater
A negatively-influential person who needlessly delays performing/allowing actions dat others ask him about.
Many famous --- or INfamous, perhaps --- people were master manipulaters, unfeelingly compelling their followers/subjects to wait absurd lengths of time for them to make important decisions, perform tasks/improvements, complete literary/art/musical compositions, etc.

wingenuity
Biff Tannen was described in da newspapers as having incredible wingenuity due to his vast wealth gained from sports-betting, but in reality his "amazing" success came merely from his having read Gray's Sports Almanac and thus already knowing said competitions' outcomes before placing his bets.

spingenius
What Rumpelstiltskin was.
Da infamous "turning straw into gold" conjurer was indeed an amazing "spingenius", but he also put a cruelly-opportunistic "spin" on da bargain dat he made wif da girl in question --- he acted like her giving him her first-born child would not be all dat big a deal to her, but in reality it turned out to be an absolutely devastating prospect. I never was totally comfy wif his not actually being given da promised child, though --- I mean, he held up his end of da bargain by spinning all of da hay into gold, so common honesty and morality dictates dat he should have been at least granted some consideration in dat regard. I mean, if he truly desired to be a father-figure out of loneliness or whatever, perhaps he could have babysat da new queen's child during periods when Her Majesty was otherwise occupied and thus couldn't care for said youngster on her own, and maybe even been said child's tutor or "caring uncle" figure; dat way, da queen could still have retained her child to raise herself, but her savior-wizard could also have gleaned enjoyment and satisfaction from being a part of said child's life.

skingenius
Really clever at either swindling people out of their money or convincing fellow humans to get naked for you.
Some infamous smooth-talkers have been "skingenius" in both senses --- i.e., they flimflammed unsuspecting individuals into both "dropping their drawers" AND giving them assets-access!
