    the way I see this going on is your body is forced to wish for things forever and ever
    you won't be able to stop and your lifeless corpse will continue requesting wishes

    well it is a wish that is a spell for wizards.

    Doesn't it cost a chunk of experience to cast? or a level?

    It's really high level I think. I don't know, I don't play D&D. I think the drawback is supposed to be that there's no fucking way you're getting what you wish for.

    I was guessing there is probably some obscure candy or something known as "Wishes," and so now you have an infinite amount of those things raining down from the sky until everything is crushed under their weight.
    Congratulations, you destroyed the universe with candy.

    well in BG2 it was a lv9 spell so you needed to be lv18 to cast it(some 3 million exp required). and if you had bad wisdom all the wishes would backfire, like if you wished for more experience the genie summoned up a bunch of really strong monsters and told you to go get your exp. but if you had high wisdom you could word your wishes carefully enough to gain from them, like you could wish to have all your spells restored. each time you cast the spell different options came up

    If you wished for infinite wishes I would flood your brain with the wishes of everyone in the universe who has or ever will wish for anything ever.

    You didn't specify that the wishes were for you.

    Wish spell.

    yes, but you couldn't get the dm to write it for you. The whole point is to try and lock it down so that he can't fuck you, and he's constantly trying to find holes in your wish. The game is to make it airtight, if you had a npc do it for you there's no point.

    Or, if he's a good dm, he'd just write his own holes into it to fuck you.

    I imagine the wish itself would have to be spoken, and thus you could be boned by how you specified for the wish-giver to comply to the document.

    Not to mention you have to get a lawyer you can trust with this kind of thing, or else you have the wish-giver and your lawyer both trying to screw you over with wordplay.

    Wish spells are the reasons why cell phone contracts are sixty pages long.

    It would be impossible to make a wish 'airtight' because you would have to define the source and outcome of every possible interaction making the event and clearly define what it wouldn't entail. I've seen people argue about the meaning of the context of the word 'on' in relationship to a mowing patent. These arguments were sixty pages long for each side and went up the appellate court.
