I don't think you even know what you are trying to do here.

I pretty explicitly stated the point of what I was doing; that is, get infinite Wishes with using very few spell slots.

Step 1: Cast gate, gate in an Efreeti.
Step 2: Use the first two Wishes however I want.
Step 3: Wish for a Candle of Invocation.
Step 4: Occasionally use 2, or all 3, Wishes on Candles of Invocation.
Step 5: Repeat until I have about 3 Bags of Holdings worth of Candles.
Step 6: Use Candles whenever I need Wishes granted.

Material Cost: 1 Level 9 spell slot, the components needed to cast Gate once.

Whether or not you or the candle casts Gate the same rules still apply. When the Efreet comes in the DM can still say it requires a task, service, or payment in order for the Efreet to grant you the wishes.

You are still going to be in the same boat.

A controlled creature can be commanded to perform a service for you. Such services fall into two categories: immediate tasks and contractual service. Fighting for you in a single battle or taking any other actions that can be accomplished within 1 round per caster level counts as an immediate task; you need not make any agreement or pay any reward for the creature’s help. The creature departs at the end of the spell.

You really need to go and read the Wish spell because that is what the Efreet grants you. If you look under the spell you will see that casting time says 1 standard action. The problem is, it doesn't state how long it actually takes for something to happen. It may take a standard action to cast but it doesn't state how long it takes to create the magic item. Under the text for creating a magic item you will essentially see nothing which means it falls within the realm of the DM to decide.

There is no solid evidence that it would actually work. The DM would have to decide because we don't know how long it's going to take the Wish spell to create the magic item.

Kind of funny how you try and place me as the only one who doesn't really care for at will spells.

I am trying to place you as the one who started this thread, used language you knew to be inflammatory about it even after multiple people informed you it was inflammatory, and then said you find houseruling issues that bother you to be an acceptable way to deal with such issues. This isn't about what other people say or think, I am responding to what you've said in this thread. Is it really so unfair that I hold you accountable for things you say, given that context? Just answer the question - or don't I suppose, but then I think that would be pretty telling in itself.
