"Wish" spell

[Jack_Trowell]

Yes, you can wish for many things , including some units not usually available.

For exemple, you could wish for a manticore, and get one (yes, the same one that you can choose as a pretender).

Of course it will only get the base stats (it's not another prentender), and start as a unit (you need to use "gift of reason" to make him a commander)

You can also wish for magical power, gold, dominion, gems, ...

Warning : while you can wish for a doom horror (the biggest horrors), they might attack your mage instead, and even if controlled, they usually leave after a few turns of the first battle.

You can also wish for specific items, even artifacts. Note also that they are some items that can never be forged, and only appear in possession of some mercenaries of indeps (bogus the troll for exemple has a green armor, and a "precious" ring). There is only 2 ways of having such objects : eitheir you find it after defeating the previous owner, or you wish for it.

Wish is now a more interesting spell. In dom2 "Doom Horror" was the most cost effective use of the spell. I wonder what is now king of the hill?

"Blood" -- used to be near the top, now maybe it is king?
"gems" -- a decent if uninspiring choice
"power" -- sometimes quite useful
"magic power" -- doubtful, very specialized use.

Are there any creatures worth wishing for?

wishing for blood slaves gives a really nice slave to gem ratio... you get upwards around 300 of them (or at least you did in dom2)

I most often catch myself wishing for "power" to make the wisher very durable then "magic power."

It is an incredibly effective use of gems to wish for magic power, as it increases every magic path by 1. compare that to empowering.

It is hard to imagine nearly any unit as being worth the gems you have to put into a wish.
