Full-blown Wish.  It's a rock.  You're going to need a much bigger hammer to get that square peg to fit that particular round hole.  Fire elemental vulerable to fire?  Big Wish.  It is Fire.  Red Dragon vulerable to fire?  Little Wish.  It's just a dragon.  So on and so forth. I'd probably have it operate on the basis of the target being vulnerable to the next, and only next application of the Widget.  I wouldn't base it off of rounds of vulnerability; it would be a single shot, and said vulerability would persist until that shot took place, no matter how long it takes the proverbial shoe to drop.</blockquote>
