"If I had just one WISH, I'd WISH that all gold and weapons I could WISH for would ~~vanish~~ vanWISH from shops nearby and appear before my feet to fulfill my dreams and WISHES. WISH that would work."

My players are about to hit level 17 sometime soon, send help
The solution is to make your players afraid of a well-practiced DM that knows how to fuck with powerhungry wishes.
"I wish for an invincible unassailable fortress"
"I wish for true immortality where nothing can kill me ever ever ever"
"I wish the final boss was already dead""
To ensure the
factor and keep the wishes reasonable, be sure to insist that the wish magic must be spoken out loud, without pause, and more or less be a single sentence like in almost every example given of wishes in antiquity fiction.
Since it’s cast as an action, it’s good to require a six second cap on the wish.
Edit: also, while they’re admiring the limitation of the wish, remind them to roll of they ever get to cast wish again. If it’s not a lower level spell, there’s a chance they lose the power.
Perfect.
I love this LMAO. I'd take notes if only my campaigns ever got that far (they never do).
The wish works but there is a nearby weapon manufacturing district. The weapons from the warehouses suddenly appear all around the players. They now have to crawl over a giant pile of pointy weapons. And, the gold landed on the bottom of the pile out of reach.
