[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 2123392, member: 18280"] [b]Source of Wishes[/b] IMC, wishes are not simply magical energy waiting to be used. Casting a Wish spell either asks or forces a being with the power to perform the Wish to do the work. Now, the Wish spell of a LG wizards is liable to ask the power of a LG god, and be used toward reasonable ends. The god is unlikely to twist the wish, unless it is used for evil. However, a Wish might be a trap placed there on the command of a powerful demon lord...use it, and you're just asking for trouble. Which is not unlike Mouseferatu, really. I have a third type of wish, though: Dreams of the Ancient Titans. IMC, the Titans defeated the Lovecraftian Elder Gods and imposed order on the Cosmos. They now lie imprisoned and sleeping beneath the earth, or are dead, but their dreams linger on. Anyone who comes in contact with an Ancient Titan's dream can attempt to bend it to alter reality, effectively gaining a powerful Wish without having to worry about how it is interpretted. The character becomes the wish-granter. However, those who do this are often driven insane by contact with the Titan's thoughts...... In other words, there is power if you seek it out, and it has no strings if you are strong enough to use it and keep your own mind....but overconfidence has its price. My PCs encountered this phenomenon once already, at about 3rd-4th level. They ran like the dickens. The higher-level NPC who was with them at the time ran with them. RC [/QUOTE]
