Ice Squid Condensation? Ice Squid Evaporation? Or is the punchline that you changed the chemistry of the genie?

I don't get it.

It's solid -> liquid -> gas, but now replace all lithium (li) with sulfur (s). So spelling wise liquid becomes squid.

Wouldn't the first one be changed to sosd then? XD

What is the total mass gain if all lithium(3) became sulfur(16)? How many planets would become stars overnight?

Related, there's a Kurzgesagt video on what happens if you turn the entire earth into gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB_GWz25B3Q

You have to make assumptions on what you keep constant: mass? volume? density? Each scenario is amusing in its own apocalyptic way.
