Um, ok, then what are we paying the XP cost for?  True, Wish is very flexible, but if you want flexibility, then limited wish is what you are looking for.  For a 9th level spell called Wish, which *costs* 5000 XP just to cast, it should be remarkably more powerful than 9th level spells that do not have an XP cost.I still don't know about this.  Wish does things other spells just don't do.Assuming TS isn't such an abusive spell in 3.5e, if the situation were to come up in my game, I'd allow the re-memorization effect to happen (minus the Wish).  If a Wish were made to completely restore a character to full strength, then I think the used spell slots become "available" again, but the spellcaster needs to prepare the spells normally.  I just can't see myself denying such a Wish, which would probably be made during a battle or in one of the darkest moments for the party.  Let's face it, it takes one of these moments for a PC to actually contemplate casting Wish <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
