First, I'm not sure if it's possible to give a new ability to a unit without changing its creature type, and if "immortality" changed the wish-caster into a Lich or something, it would be an easy way to make immobile Astral 9 pretenders, mostly Oracle, mobile battle-mages.

Second, all Wishes don't have to be good all-around choices. Wish for "immortality" DOES provide it, in the "will never die of old age" sense (through items), and that's good enough IMO.

Furthermore, getting rid of disease in a hurry may be worth 100 gems, and getting youth-items for several mages at once may be priceless if someone just threw up a Burden of Time and you can't dispel it. Getting more youth-items might be necessary in that case, perhaps five or six in total.
