Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

OOC: If someone wishes me back, they'll get something. What is earned depends on how the wish is worded, eg. If you specifically state that you want my soul back in this plane, in my own body, and no memory of being in the other plane, you'll get my shiny new Belt of Giant Strength +4. Just asking for my soul back on this plane will probably get you some gold, depending on whether or not I can get into a coporeal body and just what that body is.

Deal?

Trent: Comet and Star.

Defeat the next monster for your level, and gain a +2 bonus to one ability.

Fal: Skull and throne.

Keep and the diplomacy, avec grim reaper.

Kolak: Gem and Donjon.

You get a choice of 25 pieces of jewelry or 50 gems, and magic bars surround you, whisking you off to another plane.

Za'Yth: Key and Euryale.

Major magic weapon, and a -1 penalty to all saving throws.

Len: Flames and Balance.

You feel your motives change, and an outsider hates you.

Bajah's Knight: Donjon.

A magic cage springs up around the knight, and whisks him off to another plane.

Moogle: Key, Flames, talons, Euryale, Ruin.

You get a major magic weapon, Barney loves you, Talons sweep away all magic items you have, you get a -1 penalty to all saving throws, and lose everything.

If you're neutral, and get balanced, you must be lawful or chaotic.

Ozi: Balance and Star.

+2 to one ability, and you feel your motives change.

Rhiannah: Ruin, Throne, and Gem.

Loincloth time again for ya, then you get a keep and 6 ranks in diplomacy, and your choice of 25 pieces of jewelry, or 50 gems.

Ruvyen: Wouldn't be much help.

Good luck all.

Xyrra: Balance and Knight.

A knight swears loyalty to you, and you feel your motives change.

Fal's first knight: Star.

+2 to one ability.

Fal's second knight: The Void.

No effect.

Fae: Moon.

Four wishes for you!

Kolak: Rogue.

You feel a sense of forboding...

ECP: Knight, Balance, Rogue, Ruin, Skull, Star, talons, Euryale, Void, and Vizier.

You get a knight, your motives change, a friend against you, all possessions stripped from you and disintegrated, to have to fight Death, a +2 bonus to something, all magic items snatched away, a -1 penalty to all saving throws, lose your soul, and know the answer to your next dilemma.

Azizza: The Fates and Gem.

You may avoid any situation once, and get the choice between 50 gems and 25 pieces of jewelry.

Silidd: Comet, Rogue, Flames, Talons, Throne, Key, Gem, Idiot.

You may defeat your next monster for your next level, you feel a sense of forboding, an outsider hates you, all your magic items are snatched away forever, You gain a small keep and six ranks in diplomacy, gain a major magic weapon, get your choice of 50 gems or 25 pieces of jewelry, and feel your mind slow.

That was pretty lucky, really.

Ozi: Balance and Vizier.

You know the answer to your next dilemma, and feel your motives change.

You just have to be very very very careful with how you word your wishes. Because the Wish spell takes what you say literally.

Basically, it's the DM's job to make sure there is a downside. "Be careful what you wish for."
