Only a single Magic-User of each core G/N/E could actually cast wish. It was kind of like, I suppose, a "prestige" spell; Boccob (I primarily run my campaigns in Greyhawk, pre-wars) lets one MU of each G/N/E 'use' the spell. The MU in question is granted an audience with the God, and all MU's across the world get a vision in a dream basically saying "One has been Chosen" to use the G/N/E wish. If said MU abuses or tries to abuse the spell, Boccob removes it from their capability and seeks out someone new to replace him.  To cover the 'power scaling' of wish when players try to abuse it, this is how I handle it. If a player tries to abuse a granted wish (e.g., trying to wish for more wishes, or wish for a scroll with wishes on it, or a ring of 3 wishes, etc.), I take the following steps. First, I say "No". Then...er...wait. I guess that's it. Oddly enough, works flawlessly in play. Never had a wish be abused. <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=";)" />^_^Paul L.
