- Wishing for a particular kind of magic gems would result in 50 gems of the type
Wish costs 100 astral pearls, which can be alchemized into 50 gems of any other kind except blood slaves. Then again, I suppose that fits with the theme of screwing over newbies who don't know enough to download and read the user-written information files. Good way to prevent new people from enjoying the game!
Oh yeah, new people really tend to start casting wishes right away. The main issue with newcomers to the game is that there isn't any decent walk-through or guide to the early game, although someone (Arralen or Alneyan?) is working on that. Still won't really solve the problem unless / until Illwinter starts including something like it with the demo and game.

If people can get past the steep initial curve of figuring out how to deploy units on the battlefield, give them commands, etc, they don't seem to have much of a problem with enjoying the game while they find more and more of the hidden lore.
