The PC soon learned to be wary since the sword would use the wish to make itself more powerful (new powers, power improvement, etc) if the PC did not use it as soon as it became available.A Wish from an efreet or similar was often used be groups as insurance policy. The "Should we ever say that word, we all fnd ourselves each in our own bed and this was all a bad dream" type thing.In other people's campaigns, we got one off a pit fiend once. One lad ended up tapping serious magic and wished for a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. He got it!My fighter had reached a Str of 19.3 due to crossing a Well of Wishes... It was powered by the presence of a +5 sword. The elf got the sword.A Wish is not nearly as powerful as one might think, and a DM should attempt to distort to some degree, depending on the wish's sources, but not deliberaly "thumbscrew" adventurers.As per casting, both my own PCs and others' cast many Limited Wishes into the mix to midly alter to correct various situations. Even a Limited one, in our sense, could alter events just minutes passed.</blockquote>
