Description¶
At the culmination of this dreadful spell, the wizard screams like a banshee (groaning spirit). Everyone in the area of effect hears the awful cry. Those who fail a Saving Throw vs. Death die instantly. The caster and companions are immune to the effects of the wail.
Wish (Conjuration/Summoning, Invocation/Evocation) Range: Unlimited Duration: Special Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special Wish is a more potent version of the Limited Wish spell. It will fulfill literally, the utterance of the spellcaster. Thus, the actuality of the past, present, or future might be altered (but possibly only for the wizard unless the wording of the spell is most carefully stated) in some limited manner. Greedy desires usually end in disaster for the wisher. Lastly, the wiser the wizard, the better chance they will choose the right wording. Wizards with low wisdom will more often than not meet with disaster when asking for a wish.
