But WISH will be neither a spell nor a ritual, but a hybrid of sorts. WISH will be a plot device, a tool that will be needed near the end of the game to cause an event to happen. Once this event happens, the WISH will vanish, it's duty is done. The character does not retain this spell, and will never have access to it again. WISH will be so powerful that it will rival the powers of the deities themselves - in fact using such magic will cause that character to glow like a beacon of light to all of the deities and primordials alike. This isn't really a good thing. Not to mention that using such magic in a mortal body will do bad things to the character, a risk they must be willing to take if they wish to use it.  A Wish must specifically do one thing, and must be no longer then 8 words.I wish that all of the orc's on the material plane were dead. Is not legal.I wish that orcs were never created. Is legal. (Will this undo most of history? Yes. But it still asking the WISH for one important thing: Orc's never existed, and it's less than 8 words.I wish that Darik was alive but blind. Is not legal, it ask for 2 things.Characters that try to get two or more things from a WISH spell get nothing, and they must roll a d20 as the spell itself overloads and backfires. Anytime WISH is used by a Mortal - the character must roll a d20On a roll of 1 to 9 That character is instantly reduced to 0 hit points and takes an additional 2d8+8 untyped damage that ignores resistance. Should the character live, they instantly age 2d10+10 years, and may very well die from natural causes. On a roll of 10 to 19 that character is reduced to 0 hit points and takes an additional 1d8+6 untyped damage that ignores resistances. Should the character live, they instantly age 1d10+6 years, and may very well die of from natural causes.On a roll of 20 that character is reduced to 0 hit points and ages 1d6+4 years. WISH is not a spell to be used lightly or without worry. Sure you may become the richest being on the material plane, and you may very well die before ever getting to spend that wealth.</blockquote>
