The first kind you can just give the Wish and trust him or her to make something atmospheric of it that doesn't wreck the campaign. No detailed rules needed.The second kind you can't trust to be able to withstand the temptation to maximize the Wish for personal benefit, for no regard of the overall campaign, even if the player's intent is benign. In this case, more rules are actively bad for you, since it only eggs him or her on to find ways around your limits. And the more involved the DM gets, the more he or she legitimizes the result, even if it ends up being abusive! No detailed rules is the only defense.So in all cases I suggest you do what is perhaps counter-intuitive - that is, instead of trying to lock down the usage, take a step back! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
