And I can't help but notice that Greater Wishes are seeming like even more of a steal by any kind of calculation, if greater demons are only IQ 11 and beatable by a regular contest... though I think the rulings I listed would pose some deterrence, especially the part about an auto-win/fail deciding a contest, as that brings the odds of failure to closer to 9% on a will contest. That seems like about enough risk, to me. |

The Wizards' Guild might very well have its own insurance program where it offers Revival in certain cases, for a surcharge on the wizard's guild dues. Spread some of that risk out even further, and not every wizard has to have their own Revival potion stashed away.

I think though that $74 is as ITL says the least that dangerous work costs, so more like the cost to get a wizard to take a walk with you someplace where there might possibly be a hostile encounter. Compare another guild fee: Cast the IQ 17 spell Remove Cursed Object for 20 ST and pretty much zero risk: $500, or free but they keep the enchanted object that was on you. |

Oh hey. Here's a possibly relevant bit...

This also makes me want to make Summon Demon the exception to the rule about allowing spells with an IQ requirement no greater than 14 to be cast from a book. The Wizards' Guild hates that there are books out there that let just anyone summon a demon.
