Default What do you wish for?

There are several threads discussing what you can wish for, but none discussing what people usually do wish for (at least not as the subject of the thread).

I've seen a few threads where Honeybadger mentioned wishing for Ancient Krakens, and also a few threads where players mentioned wishing for gems (which seems really efficient- 175 gems for 100), or making the caster more powerful (either magic power or "standard" power- +50 hp/+10 str/etc).

Presumably, there are many useful Wish effects and players will choose the effect most useful to them for the current game situation. But there are surely things that are wished for more often than others, either because they are fun or just very useful.

So, what do you usually wish for?

Note: I made this topic to give myself something fun to think about while waiting for my copy of Dominions 3 to arrive- which should be Thursday.

1. Gems - its really a 2 gems for 1 deal since for 100 astral gems you get 25 astral 150 other gems back (so its kinda like 75 astral --> 150 other gems).

2. Seraph (killer SCs)

3. Situation specific, might be blood slaves or some unique item that i need for something special.

Funnily enough, my first wish is usually for power on my caster. Much too often,
I use the Forbidden Light in order to get that coveted S9. Power, and later magic
power makes sure that the horror marked, and oh so valuable mage survives the
horror attacks in your capital (the rest of them are avoided by casting Returning)

I never wish for the same thing twice. Im more interested in hacking the spell than in winning a particular game of Dom3. I pulled the whole list of keywords for the spell. Last I counted that was 59 of them. And many of those accepted variables (like unit or item or numbers). I still havent figured some of them out.

Anyone tried wishing for "more wishes"? It seems like something you should get punished for. Maybe have the caster turned into a crappy genie unit ;]
