And you keep getting random choices?
That double timestop / improved alacrity sound rather nice

that timestop via wish spell has been reported to affect timestop immune enemies, like monkey boy...

the abi dahzim of doom...protect party from magic energy, and kill almost every single creature on the map with that option...

its random, but to my experience, almost every time cast, at least one acceptable choice, and some of the choices are incredibly useful.

wish spell is more cheesy than chain contingency...now that's cheesy!!!

Thing is, you'll get a lot more useful choices if the caster has a high wisdom. If they don't...well, you may get a positive option, but it could well be an option you don't need.

true...but you can have a high wisdom character talk to the djinn, like the limited wish spell, and the ever popular potion of insight will raise it to 18 for 8 hours...

another reason why sorcerors need high wisdom over intelligence...

man, some of the choices for wish is cheesable...

one fun trick is to try for breach everyone...this will breach undead solafein...hardiness via wish spell stacks...
