[QUOTE="Baron Opal II, post: 7974934, member: 6794067"] Wish is the ultimate expression of the magician's will. It allows them to change reality in a specific way without the crutches that lesser spell casters require. It also obviates any material component needed to allow lesser spells to manifest in the material world. Now, I am only roughly familiar with 5e. I have read the PHB, but not played. If the wish is simply duplicating a spell, it has the same parameters, perhaps magnified if the spell is significantly lower level. Obviously, material component costs are obviated. [I]As a number of spells in 5e have specific effects for being cast with a higher level spell slot, the guidance is already present. [/I]For a spell like non-detection (4th level?), as wish is twice the level I would allow a larger area, but not unlimited, to be affected. Perhaps twice as much depending on how it is measured. Unwilling targets almost always get a save. If the spell is 6th level or less, concentration is not required for an hour or so, as appropriate. (Personal decision) As always, the "don't be a jerk" rule is in effect. If there is something that the magician wants that is marginal or beyond the scope of the spell, the character is high enough level to know that going in. NB: For a spell like firebolt, if they are casting it at an invisible target, they pick the square and roll to hit with the appropriate modifiers. If there is no standard attack roll it has one now. If there is nothing in the square or the roll is a miss, the bolt continues at chest height until it impacts something or it reaches maximum range. If this spell is similar to magic missile in that you can only target something you can see, well, then, [I]you have to see the target. [/I]If you wish to magic missile an invisible target, you get MM cast with a 7th level slot with a bonus detect invisibility (2nd?). [/QUOTE]
