[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7318707, member: 6669384"] I know this is a few years late, but... The Candle works, but no Paladin will get one that leads to a wish. The Candle can Gate in a Genie, that's true. But each candle has an alignment, and can only gate in creatures of the proper alignment. There are four types of Genie: 1) The Djinn (from Monster Manual) is Chaotic Good, and the only ones who get any Wishes are the Royals. 1% chance of getting one. 2) The Efreet (From Monster Manual) is Lawful Evil. He can cast up to three Wishes in a day, but hates being forced into servitude, and will probably twist and abuse the hell out of them. 3) The Marid (from Eberon) is Chaotic Neutral, and can grant one wish per year. 4) The Dao (from Eberon) is Lawful Neutral, and can grant up to five Limited Wishes a day None of these can be called by the candle given to the Lawful Good Paladin. Add that I'd have to look at the rules for Wishing for magic items, which isn't simply handled on a coin value basis, before I'd say with any certainty that you can use one Wish to replace the Candle.
