i got the wish spell and when i cast it, it let me renew all my spells but later i cast it again and it did not have that option.

is there any way to get the option every time?

EDIT: i mean the level 9 version of wish

if i recall correctly, the wish spell is tied directly into the intelligence and wisdom scores, which means that the higher the scores are, the better the wish options is. I always kept potions around to up my int and wis up to 25 and then cast the spell, at least whenever possible. casting a wish spell with a very low scored character often resulted in some pretty sucky wishes, if i remember right. so, in answer to your question, try upping the abilities (and I am thinking it was wisdom more than intelligence) and see if that works.

If I remember correctly, you only get to choose a "wish" once, but I may be wrong. :)

Wish

See Xyx's spell guide for details, but Wish is never guaranteed to have any of the options generally considered good.

Having (ab)used the wish spell considerably, I worked out that roughly the option to refresh all your spells comes up every 9 times or so when the caster has a wisdom of 18.

BTW only wisdom is involved in the choice of wishes you get, Int. is ininfluent.

Ininfluent...what a wonderful neologism, I love it :cool:

Nephtu, what's a neologism?

[QUOTE=kopywrite]Nephtu, what's a neologism?[/QUOTE]

A neologism is:
1) A new word, expression, or usage.
2) The creation or use of new words or senses.
(per dictionary.com)

However, I may be in error - a google search on the word turns up 108 English language sites, though none of the dictionary sites I use recognize it. It's a good word, however.
