Default Re: Shattered Soul for tartarians. Do tell !

I'm sympathetic to Megalobob's position, but there _is_ a limit to Wish's power. Just like in D&D, a single spell doesn't have the power to change the world, even if it is called Wish. That's why it takes multiple wishes to push all your magic paths up to 10, for example. Anyway, if the new uniques are so cool and/or expensive that 100 pearls is too cheap for them, the thematic thing to do would be to require a boosted Wish to get them, like say 150 or 200 pearls. Unfortunately I don't think that's an option from a programmatic standpoint, but I like the idea of variable-power Wishes. Maybe wishing for "Armageddon" is more effective if you blow 1000 pearls on it than if you only spend 100, etc.
