I do worry that by making the penalty for using it so large, that it creates a strong disincentive to prepare it. Because of this, I wonder if it might work better as a ritual or something (scroll maybe?) prepared ahead of time (so you can hold the wish indefinitely), or just make it a ritual with a 1 round casting time (unsure if there is a precedent for this).Bringing true names into it is interesting as well, but I'm curious how they plan on making that whole system work. I think true names would probably work better if they changed every level rather than every spell. That way your deeds in life have an effect on it. You are not just Grom, son of Grok, son of Groll... You are Grom, son of Grok, son of Groll, kobold bane, destroyer of Homlet, eater of elves... It'd make a fun game of figuring out what your characters true name would be (essentially a history of awesome stuff), and it'd cause high level creatures to have tremendously long and unwieldy true names, making it more difficult to use them.</blockquote>
