    How would you do the wish spell? Outside of maybe forcing it to a plot item

      They had wish in Baldur’s Gate 2 at least I’m pretty sure. My memory is pretty vague but I think you could ask for a certain set of things and it would usually not end up how you wanted.

        Wish was indeed implemented in BG2. You needed high WIS to get the choices that actually gave you what you wanted, with low WIS you got the poorly phrased dialogue options that were traps.

        Limited Wish had two categories of wishes, repeatable ones and one-time wishes. Repeatable ones were mostly straightforward, but the one-time wishes had some sort of twist to them even with high WIS, such as wishing to be more experienced summoning hostile high level golems (that do, in fairness, award a lot off XP when killed).

          Nice, I think the time I tried it my characters wisdom was trash because I just remember getting like a hundred chickens spawn into the map.
