wish (p. 370, 4th printing) can produce the following effect:

Quote:
Undo the harmful effects of many other spells, such as geas/quest or insanity.

limited wish (p. 305, 4th p):

Quote:
Undo the harmful effects of many spells, such as or insanity.

Okay, a cut and paste error, no big deal.

What struck me as odd (and worth a question) is...insanity is a 7th level spell, the same as limited wish, while geas/quest is a 6th level spell (for sorcerers and wizards at least).

My take is that limited wish should be able to "undo the harmful effects of" any 6th level spell or lower, but not another 7th-level spell.

It is undoing the effect, not replicating the spell. Heal and Greater Restoration are also 7th level spells. It also costs 1500 to cast.

Having a spell of equal level undo a spell is pretty common.

Isn't heal 6th?

Even more to the point.
