[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7938094, member: 53980"] It's hardly unusual for topics to drift a bit, and I had assumed that we were discussing general approaches to using wish, rather than only this one specific use case. My case was being made for the general use case, which does include this specific one. The specific case falls within the scope of the general one. I don't see how it's such an outlier that it wouldn't. I never made the argument that players shouldn't know what their spells do. I made the argument that players are human and make mistakes. That they might not have read the spell recently (or correctly), or that they might mix it up in their head with a version of the spell from a different edition. I do think that they should familiarize themselves with their spells and know how they work. That doesn't mean I'm going to punish them just because they fall short or make a mistake. I'll simply point out if I think they might be making a mistake and ask them to confirm that it is the course of action they desire, in order to verify that they are making an informed decision. That applies to this specific wish just as much as any other wish. [/QUOTE]
