If they are using them to try to nullify major encounters, substantially rewrite the game rules, score magical swag you don't want them to have, or otherwise make the DM's life hard then it's monkey's paw time. If they are just trying to achieve things that feel on the scale of 9th level magic I'd grant the wishes. If they are using it to acquire mundane wealth (not in the form of precious ruby dust) I'd also let that go, because at 17th level they've probably trancended that mattering to anything except the setting economy. If they are using it to accomplish character goals then more power to them.</blockquote>
