It had loads of great advice; which isn't exactly very helpful here. However, my suggestions are based upon my strong beliefs which were formed by that article.It is easier to give information on where/how to find an item than to create it. It is easier to bring it here (or send you there) than to create it.In general wishes will attempt to fulfill intent as well as what was said. The exception is when the wish is being granted by an agent (such as a noble djinn or efreet).In that case (your case) the agent will perhaps modify it or twist it. Given the evil nature of efreetis, I would expect it to twist the intent or wording. The efreet is intelligent too, and probably has much more experience with granting wishes than the PCs have in making them. This is a racial power after all, the efreet probably has many generations of teachings and legends to draw from.My personal leanings when PCs wish for items (especially items which would be too powerful for a wish spell to create - it is only a single ninth-level spell) are to either send them there, or tell them where the item is or how to find it. This, of course, leaves out the whole idea of who currently owns the item (items can be owned by good people and used for good purposes, what does the party do then?) or what is guarding it. Again, this sort of wish-twisting should only occur when the wish is being granted through an evil and angry agent.Hope this helps.-Dave</blockquote>
