Editing Wish

'''Wish''' is the grab-all for asking your [[Dungeon Master]] for... anything. If you word it right, and you haven't pissed off your DM lately.

In [[Dungeons & Dragons]] this is a spell, for the highest level of magic use. The full-on version (for [[mage]]s) would be the ninth level in the classic rules; there's a ''limited wish'' for seventh. [[Cleric]]s get a ''miracle'' in their highest level, the seventh. The scope of the effect is [[Derp|limited to those of similarly-leveled spells for similarly-leveled casters]]; ''limited wish'' will impose some additional provisos, quid-pro-quos, as you saw in Disney's ''Aladdin''. Apart from that, what happens next is up to the DM's interpretation of ''what you said'' you wished for so... be careful.

Lower levels get access to this stuff through the usual Arabian Niiights methods, typically importuning a [[djinn]] or an [[efreeti|afrit]], or maybe a [[devil]]. In these cases, the fuckery won't be what the DM can get away with so much as what ''the djinn'' can get away with. Since in several suras of Islam, al-Shaytan himself was of the djinn race - we recommend you get your fine-print spectacles on.

Because even the Limit of Wish has always been too vague for many [[Knights of the Dinner Table|dinner-tables]], not all groups allow it. [[Eldritch Might]]'s second Book introduced an alternative: Extemporaneous Soul Magic.

In /v/ media, the Wishbringer game allowed a Wish to bypass puzzles that were too hard; this was the entry-level in interactive fiction [[Zork]]-universe play. Over in /tv/, besides ''Aladdin'', we can recommend ''Wishmaster'' for a particularly assholish djinn.
