  “I wish for an army of skeletons!”

  “Granted! Your army of 13 skeletons stands up from the battlefield…”

    Wish can consequence-free emulate any level 8 or lower spell. So you could get 11 worry-free skeletons, or risk never casting wish again if you need 13.

    Ah, that’s the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.

      “I wish that when I cast wish I won’t lose the ability to cast wish”?

    This is why I instead opt to carry scrolls of damn near every spell 8th level or lower.

    It’s a little bootleg compared to a real Wish, but in average circumstances I can give Batman a run for his money on being prepared for literally any eventuality.

      Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won’t allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance

        RAW, yeah, you’re right unfortunately. Our DM lets us make the DC check to cast a non-class scroll just like you’d make if you cast one too high level for you. Web searching tells me this is a popular homebrew rule.

        I may be making him regret that decision somewhat.
