The ritual takes a day, in my game anyone who decides to wish for divinity is going to have the most powerful servitors of others gods coming to say hello during the 24 hours you have to perform this ritual.
And honestly, with Wish being a rare ritual, I'm just not going to let players access it all honesty. Or outright tell them that certain kinds of wishes, like divinity, are more likely to get them killed before the wish can be completed.
It's purely DM fiat territory.
Honestly, attempting to Wish for Divinity seems like the kind of thing that would get you Achaekek's attention, one of his big things is Gatekeeping Divinity. And to quote his Major Curse from Gods and Magic, well...
Achaekek's Major Curse wrote:
The Mantis God doesn’t waste his time toying with or tormenting those who truly anger him, or those who dare to consider themselves divine. He rips open a portal to your location, kills you, drags your soul to judgment in a way that prevents resurrection magic, and then leaves.
Emphasis mine. Unless you've got another Deity sponsoring you or something, you're probably not making it that full day...
Agreed 100%. I wish it wasn't something Paizo had written into the spell.
Perhaps they could have written it instead as making the wisher into a "quasideity". Like you don't catch mortal diseases, you don't age, or die from old age, you can start recruiting followers (if they do anything for you mechanically), and maybe have like one domain or something.
But full divinity being out of the reach of any mortal magic makes more sense.
Otherwise it seems like Razmir would have done it a long time ago.
Does Razmir have access to the wish ritual?
Also, Nethys became divine because he cast a spell that made him omniscient, so clearly it's not impossible for a mortal to become a god via their magic.
