Message: <blockquote data-quote="Theo R Cwithin" data-source="post: 7970496" data-attributes="member: 75712">My own "natural language interpretation" just for grins:"duplicate" means make an exact copy. Nothing about the spell changes, aside from additional qualifiers noted in the wish spell text."any other spell" could be interpreted in a variety of ways, DM's call. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Obviously, it refers to any official spell in RAW. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Arguably, it also refers to a spell altered by any official feature/s, such as metamagic or feats, as long as the resulting spell is no more powerful than an 8th level spell. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A still broader interpretation could be "any spell from among all the spells that exist, or could conceivably exist, in any form anywhere," which means the DM has to decide if the wish effect could be a spell, what it does, and how it works. If the DM wants to go that route, then this provides a straightforward way for the player define the wish: just write up the new spell in the regular format and hand it over to the DM to decide how to rule.</li> </ul>"You do not need to meet any requirements in that spell" bounds the requirements of "You", nothing else. <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"You" is the wisher, only.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"requirements" is the set of personal qualities (race, class, stats, etc), conditions, possessions, features, etc, that can be plugged into [X] in this statement, if "You" cast the spell with this incantation: "I wish I was briefly [X] so that I could cast [some spell]." </li> </ul> <ul style="margin-left: 40px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This does not change other requirements pertaining to targets, area of effect, duration, or anything else. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This obviates the need for concentration, as that is a requirement on "You."</li> </ul>"The spell simply takes effect" This bypasses casting time, and indicates the spell just does whatever it does normally.</blockquote>
