Perhaps more important than what
is stated is what is unstated. In the simple
Wish of “I wish for a lot of gold,” there is
no mention of time. A substantial amount
of gold may appear just before the end of
the caster’s lifetime.
Due to the ease with which the Wish
spell may be abused, the Aedile is cautioned
to use their best judgment and be quite literal
regarding the interpretation of the wish.
If multiple interpretations of a word exist,
then randomly select 1. If multiple meanings
of a phrase exist, write them down and
randomly select 1. Anytime an ambiguity
arises, handle it randomly. A Wish is a serious
matter and extremely powerful. As the
Aedile, do not feel rushed or pressured to
deliver the outcome in a timely fashion. Take
your time and consider the Wish.

Description: Casting this spell causes 2 shadowy
demonic beings to appear outside the circle
used for convocation. The caster stands
within the circle. Protected inside the circle
on the ground, the caster points at a target
creature outside the convocation circle. Each
of the beings immediately grabs a leg of the
target creature and they hold the creature
upside down and off the ground. The target
creature may be no larger than 10’ in
height or 1 ton in weight, nor have a Strength
greater than 750. If so, the demonic beings
are unable to perform their ritual.
Once the demonic beings have the
target creature in position, they pause and
wait for the caster to make a wish. By custom,
the caster does not verbalize the wish,
but merely thinks it. After thinking the wish,
the caster customarily nods to the demonic
beings. Upon seeing the caster nod, the
demonic beings finalize the wish by pulling
in opposite directions on the target creature’s
legs, effectively ripping each leg from its hip
socket. The victim will die upon completion
of the spell.
