Tsunami says "at a point you choose within range" but since Wish is the spell being cast, not Tsunami, wouldn't that mean that the only eligible point is "self." Also, in terms of Resurrection, the effect isn't the first paragraph. I don't know what you'd call it if it isn't a requirement, but it the spell's effects are listed below. I guess conditional? Either way, Wish's next relevant sentence is that the spell "simply takes effect." What's interesting is the blurb on spellcasting. This actually gives a much more satisfying answer: "Each spell description in chapter 11 begins with a block of information, including the spell's name, level, school of magic, casting time, range, components, and duration. The rest of a spell entry describes the spell's effect." So if a spell requires concentration and concentration itself is not an effect, shouldn't it bypass concentration? Likewise, Range is a requirement. A brute force method would be to focus on the word "require" in the spellcasting section (in context). "Certain spells require more time to cast." So, casting time is a requirement. "Most spells require the chanting of mystic words." "If a spell requires a somatic component." "Some spells require particular objects." So there's the components accounted for. "Some spells require you to maintain concentration." Concentration. "A typical spell requires you to pick one or more targets to be affected by a spell's magic." TargetingNote: take a look at the wording on AOE's, it doesn't call out a requirement, just the location where the AOE can take effect. "Many spells require the caster to make an attack roll." So with this list, the amount of things Wish can bypass are 5. <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Casting Time</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Components</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Concentration</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Targeting</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Attack rolls</li> </ol></blockquote>
