Wishing for powers with multiple words in their name can also have unexpected results.  For example, wishing to give someone the ability to cast find plant could result in that person being turned into a plant.  You might consider using the formal code names of the ability (e.g. spell_enchantarmor instead of enchant armor).

Examples: cast wish for hassan to turn into a frog

cast wish to be recalled

cast wish to teleport to emerald road

cast wish for more strength

cast wish for 1000 gold coins

cast wish for the one ring

cast wish for hassan to be immune to fire

cast wish for bob to be able to cast grow

cast wish for bob to be higher level

Description: This, the most powerful of magic spells, causes the spellcasters wish to come true. The cost to cast the spell is all of the casters mana plus 25 experience points. The cost to having the wish granted may range from nothing more, to further experience drains, to the loss of a level, and/or a point of permanent Constitution. Wishing for changes in level to players or items is the most costly, as it will cause the caster to lose at least as many levels as he wishes the target to gain or lose. ** If wish is cast ON another target, the other target must be in the room when the wish is cast!

Sample Powerful Wishes

It is possible to wish to BECOME another race, class or gender. Since this type of wish can potentially bend the fabric of reality, creating possibilities that are beyond the laws of nature, they often come at a much greater cost to the caster.

  • Wishing for a player to change race to an existing player race (WISH BOB BECOME AN ELF) will cost 525 experience points, 1 point of Constitution (and Max Constitution), AND an additional 1 level loss.
  • Wishing for a player to gain an ability level 24 or lower, with other limitations (WISH BOB LEARN TEMPO) will cost 525 experience, 1 point of Constitution (and Max Constitution) AND an additional 2 levels lost.

Notes

  • Wise Crafting reduces the amount of experience points lost when casting wish.

Failed Wishing Attempts

Wishing with poor syntax can result in unpredictable results or loss of experience. Wishing for powers with multiple words in their name can also have unexpected results. For example, wishing to give someone the ability to cast find plant could result in that person being turned into a plant. You might consider using the formal code names of the ability (e.g. spell_enchantarmor instead of enchant armor).
