Wish can consequence-free emulate any level 8 or lower spell. So you could get 11 worry-free skeletons, or risk never casting wish again if you need 13.
This is why I instead opt to carry scrolls of damn near every spell 8th level or lower.
It’s a little bootleg compared to a real Wish, but in average circumstances I can give Batman a run for his money on being prepared for literally any eventuality.
RAW, yeah, you’re right unfortunately. Our DM lets us make the DC check to cast a non-class scroll just like you’d make if you cast one too high level for you. Web searching tells me this is a popular homebrew rule.
I may be making him regret that decision somewhat.
Wish, but for emulating other spells. Literally anything I want, of 8th level or lower, as if it was already prepared? So handy.
“I wish for an army of skeletons!”
“Granted! Your army of 13 skeletons stands up from the battlefield…”
Ah, that’s the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.
“I wish that when I cast wish I won’t lose the ability to cast wish”?
Granted. The wish spell has never existed, so you can’t use it.

Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won’t allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance

Isn’t that killing the thief rogue subclass’s use magic device ability?
Little bit yeah. UMD is quite a bit more versatile than this though, ours is restricted to scrolls and requires a spellcaster check.
