ability tomes + wish?

Hm... you COULD try to sell the manual and buy another scroll of Wish with the money you get (and possible another 5000 - 10000 gp). Or you could get a spellcaster to cast a Wish spell from Memory and the other from your scroll. But directly combining manual and scroll should be impossible. You could instead use the manual and then use the scroll for something else, DEX or CON.

Well, the advantage to having already found a scroll of Wish, is that the XP cost is already paid! It's a lot easier to find a high level wizard willing to take a few minutes to read a scroll versus asking one to part with 5,000 XP.

We can't really use the scroll of wish, because our only arcane spellcaster is a 3rd-level wizard/8th-level cleric. So the odds of him miscasting a 20th-level Wish are pretty damn high.

So it looks like it maybe worth it to save the book until I can afford to "upgrade" it and just sell that scroll of Wish.

Bubba? When you buy a scroll of wish, what do you pay? The creation cost or the market price? Nuff said.

You pay 28,825 gp for a scroll of wish. Roughly the same cost as upgrading the tome from +1 to +2.

I'm not advocating either position, just pointing out the facts.

That is just that what I wanted to say.

And to convince the DM, I suggested using the Wondrous Item Creation Feat.

Irrelevant. I never once mentioned the price of a scroll. I was always referring to the price of the manual. The price of the scroll has no bearing on the argument. What is important, however, is that you pay the market price of the item and not the creation price. Make sense?
