Re: \"Wish\" spell
"Vis" is gems. King of the World gave Eater of Dreams seems to be the same as Slave to unreason, Eater of dreams, Eater of gods, Maker of ruins or Doom horror.

Seizing artifacts, accessing national summons
It might be useful to instantly seize the artifact on which another nation happens to be relying -- for instance, if they're using Tempest for the storm + thunderstrikes, or running around with a sacred army bearing the Ark. Might be especially nice if you're nowhere near capable of building the artifact on your own. Or stranding the army that's using the Flying Ship...
Haven't really played around with seeing whether you can seize elemental/demonic royalty this way, or whether it only clones them. Or, say, the Tlaloques.
There are certain nice national summons that might be of interest -- if you can summon the Seraph (the angelic one, not the Caelian -- this would require summoning via monster number, something I haven't personally verified), he's a nasty SC that's normally restricted. A Mandaha might also be great fun for the Ashen Empire, considering the free darkness -- even if the Mandaha were not restricted to Lanka, the Ashen Empire is hardly the best nation for blood hunting.

Re: Seizing artifacts, accessing national summons
Can you summon Hunter of Heroes via Wish? LOL.
You CAN summon a Seraph simply by typing it in "Seraph," Taqwus. I've tried to amass him (her?) before.

Re: Seizing artifacts, accessing national summons
I used my very first wish to summom up an Ancient Kraken. I'm thinking that would be a good use of Wish for a land-based nation, providing you were able to gift of reason him and then empower earth, water, nature, and astral. An etherial, invulnerable, regenerating, lucky, poison resistant, magic resistant, quickened Ancient Kraken is pretty heavy. Costs a ton of gems to set up, ofcourse, but hopefully by end-game you've got lots of gems lying around. Gorgons might have the edge on an Ancient Kraken in a fight, but I'm pretty sure, unmodified, they'd kill each other the first round. I was thinking a Void Lord is pretty decent too, if you equip him up. Full slots with an additional lifedrain for free doesn't suck.

Re: Seizing artifacts, accessing national summons
How do you get Gorgons? I don't think I've ever seen them. Stats?

Re: Seizing artifacts, accessing national summons
Gorgons are potential Pretenders. They've got stats somewhere in the intermediate range between a human and a titan. In addition to petrification, they've also got fear, flying, and rejuvenation. A wish for Power for one of these gals is a good choice.
