"That's a good point," one of the others chimes in. "If every new wish has lots of complicated clauses, then really knowing what's going on is going to effectively require everyone to know about them as they're made. And there will be so much to memorize, plus making sure people are informed, or having different versions of different wishes ..."

"Well, maybe that's another reason to stick with wishes that make people more capable of doing things the mundane way," Gamesa suggests. "That seems like it would be altogether easier to keep track of."

"It would be safer, to voluntarily limit all Wished wordings that way, though it would also limit the ability to use Wishes for more esoteric means.   Additionally, how does one determine what the limits of mundanity are?  What of cases where more than one personality inhabits a body?" A set of individually-marked masks attached by string and leather forms a belt around the dress.

"I mean, for the most important things — like resurrection — there could be exceptions," Gamesa replies. "Not every policy has to be strict. I'm ... not sure how prophets are relevant, though? Do you mean, like, whether skills that visitors bring from the other place count as mundane?"

"To the first, how would such policy be decided or enforced? Genies, their Masters, and the resultant Wishes could end up spreading faster and having larger impacts than a reasonable effort to contain them. To the second- is the other place mundane? What of the visitors themselves? Their traversal here?"
