[QUOTE="Cloudgatherer, post: 962370, member: 66"] I'm a little surprised so many people have even cast the spell themselves. Although I think many of these votes happened before I said using a scroll/ring of 3 wishes did not "count". My general theory is that [i]wish[/i] is weak in many respects. Before everyone jumps in and points out it's great abilities, I'm not referring to those. For example, raising stats, undoing misfortune, raising the dead, and it's sheer flexibility make [i]wish[/i] a powerful spell. But is it worth the cost? Seems to me like the answer is a strong "no." While the spell is in the game for those rare moments of actually tempting the party, or serving as a story point for DMs, or simply existing because it is required during the item creation process, it seems to me that [i]wish[/i] just does not cut it as a 9th level spell that costs so much to cast, especially if the use is not stat raising or one of the similar unique powers of wish. Later. [/QUOTE]
