A wish lets you create nearly any type of effect. For example, a wish can do any of the following things.

• Duplicate any arcane spell of up to 2 Power points fewer than expended.
• Duplicate any innate spell of up to 4 Power points fewer than expended.
• Undo the harmful effects of many spells, such as permanent confuse.
• Create a nonmagical item worth up to 10 pounds times the Power points expended.
• Create a magic item, or add to the powers of an existing magic item.
• Remove injuries and afflictions. A single wish can aid one creature for each Power point expended, and all subjects are cured of the same kind of affliction. For example, you could heal all the damage you and your companions have taken, or remove all poison effects from everyone in the party, but not do both with the same wish. A wish can never restore the experience point loss from casting a spell.
• Transport travelers. A wish can move one creature for each Power point expended from anywhere to anywhere else regardless of local conditions. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies.
• Undo misfortune. A wish can undo a single recent event. The wish forces a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn) by a creature whose Hit Dice are equal to or less than the Power points expended. Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's successful critical hit (either the attack roll or the critical roll), a friend's failed save, and so on. The reroll, however, may be as bad as or worse than the original roll. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies.
• Produce any other effect whose power level is in line with the above effects, such as a single creature automatically hitting on its next attack or taking a penalty equal to half the Power points expended on its next saving throw.

You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous. (The wish may pervert your intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a partial fulfillment.)
A duplicated spell allows saving throws and spell resistance. When a wish duplicates a spell that has an XP cost, you must pay that XP cost or the XP cost for the wish, whichever is more.
Restriction: as an arcane spell, only arcane spellcasters can learn and cast this spell.
