[QUOTE="Al, post: 262273, member: 2486"] Well, I'm afraid I'm a veteran of the infamous six-page (I think) Wish vs. Miracle thread. And the 'antis' argument was this (and I subscribe to it): The prerequisites for making a Brilliant Energy weapon are Gaseous Form and Continual Flames- but casting these do not normally allow a weapon to become Brilliant Energy. The prerequisites for making a Vorpal weapon are Keen Edge and Death Spell- but casting these do not normally make a weapon Vorpal. The prerequisites to make a Rapier of Puncturing is Harm: but this does not normally do Con damage. See the pattern? The point is: just because a spell is listed in the prereqs, it doesn't mean that that spell can emulate the power of the item, under normal circumstances. Thus, even though Miracle is a prerequisite for Tomes and the like, the normal use of the spell cannot emulate the items' ability. [/QUOTE]
