Description: Wish is the mightiest spell a Wizard or Sorcerer can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter reality to better suit you. Even wish, however, has its limits.

A wish can produce any one of the following effects.

• Duplicate any spell on your spell list of 8th level or lower (5th level if of a school prohibited to you). You do not need material components for the spell, provided the cost of those components is less than 10,000 gp.
• Duplicate any other spell of 6th level or lower.
• Undo the harmful effects of many other spells, such as quest or insanity.
• Remove injuries and afflictions. A single wish can aid one creature per caster level, and all subjects are cured of the same kind of affliction. For example, you could heal all the damage you and your companions have taken, or remove all poison effects from everyone in the party, but not do both with the same wish.
• Transport travelers. A wish can lift one creature per caster level from anywhere on any plane and place those creatures anywhere else on any plane regardless of local conditions. An unwilling target gets a WIS save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies.
• Undo misfortune. A wish can undo a single recent event. The wish forces a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's successful critical hit (either the attack roll or the critical roll), a friend's failed save, and so on. The reroll, however, may be as bad as or worse than the original roll. An unwilling target gets a WIS save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies.

You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. State your wish to the GM as precisely as possible. The GM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item's current owner.

Other wishes aside from those noted above will weaken the caster, inflicting enough ability damage to reduce their strength to 3. This weakness is caused by the strain of altering reality itself and cannot be removed except through 2d4 days of consecutive bedrest, after which the damage will heal at the normal rate. Wish cannot be cast again until this rest is complete.
