Wish ... Berserk ... Gems ... ???

No spellcasting in berserk. Usuallu if you wish for a cursed item, you can remove it by wishing for something else that fits in the same slot. In that case the cursed item is redeposited in the lab.

How to get rid of the harvest blade? simplest method is to get your pretender killed, and recall him. You will lose 1 form each magic skill, but nothing else.

Gems: If a 2nd lvl Earth have to cast a 3rd level earth he can spend 1 Earth Gem to cast it.
He can spend 4 Gems to cast a 6th level earth spell?

No, he cant. You can only spend one gem to gain one level that way. He can, however, spend more than one gems to cast a 3-level spell that uses horrendouns amounts of fatique to make it easier to cast. like, lift his level up to 6 by speding 4 gems to cast a 3-level spell with 300 fatique. (which would thus become 100-fatique spell.)

I remember a site that tells you all of the wishes and results of them, I forgot where it was though.

BTW, don't wish for "death"

...or you could try casting Transformation.

Speaking of Transformation...

Is Transformation *ever* really worthwhile? In an experimental game, I had 5 or 6 nature-3 mages cast it, and the results were never beneficial. Even if I had just used nature-1 mages boosted with items, it wouldn't have been worthwhile. Why would anyone ever use it?

Oh, do wish for Death, at least once.

Just, er, cast Twiceborn first.

Sunray's Virtual Library. Wish is about a third of the way down the page.

Haven't cast it in Dom2, but in Dom1 I was not displeased to get a chimera from a jade amazon. It might take more than one cast to get something nice, though. Swine, hawks, and wolves were not really to my taste. Nor were drakes or bog beasts, but that may be more a matter of opinion. See some discussion here.

Does luck factor into Transformation quality? I habitually take decent-to-good luck, and rarely have the caster die or turn into a foulspawn. It's rarely even the case that it takes more than one or two trys to turn 'em into something at least tolerable...

I think it's worthwhile - often you trade in a simple human with 10 hp and get a rather tougher beast which is much more resilient in combat. So you're not going to get a SC, but if that isn't your expectation you'll probably be pleasantly surprsised.
