[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 9609396, member: 15538"] That just changes the question from, "Can Wish move an impossibly large celestial body?" to "Can Wish change the divine order?" or "Given a running start, could a raging Barbarian kick the moon out of orbit?" In D&D, as I know it, the answer to all three of those things is "definitely not." It's a spell that can accomplish almost anything in the sight and grasp of a mortal being, not something that can do things mythologically attributed to figures like Zeus. Anyway, I've thought about this and here's my answer as a GM: it does cause a real eclipse, but it's only visible to people within about ten miles. It accomplishes this by temporarily distorting the local area with respect to the Astral Plane. It causes all the real effects of being exposed to such an eclipse, but beyond the affected radius, none of them that would require a real calendar eclipse. My source is Bruce Almighty. [/QUOTE]
