You wanna better tome? Find one or buy one.There are 2 tremendous limitations to the wish spell that directly relate to this particular situation:1) Grant a creature a +1 inherent bonus to an ability score. (One bonus per casting, if anyone argues this, I'll puke)2) Create a valuable item, even a magic item, of up to 15,000 gp in value. (Take note of the part about 15,000 GP, as this is kind of important.)Now, if you use a wish spell to upgrade a +1 manual of gainful exercise to a +2 manual of gainful exercise, the upgrade to the tome all by itself costs 27,500 gp. Now, unless my math is messed up, 27,500 gp is just a teency weency bit higher than 15,000 gp.So, my point is this:1) A +1 manual of gainful exercise costs 27,500 gp2) A +2 manual of gainful exercise costs 55,000 gp3) The difference in cost between the two manuals is 27,500 gp, which is exactly half the cost of a +2 manual of gainful exercise, and exactly twice the cost of a +1 manual of gainful extercise.4) The wish spell is limited to creating a magic item of up to 15,000 gp.At some point, you need to draw the line with Wish. This, is where I draw the line.</blockquote>
