Maze and Limited Wish

[Scamperbaby]

Had a situation come up in a recent game. One PC was targeted with Maze and so off he went into the maze. Another PC then cast Limited Wish to bring him back.

The argument he used was "Undo the harmful effects of many spells". At the time I was on the fence but ultimately ruled that it would work and brought the PC back from the maze.

Did I overpower Limited Wish? Or is there something else about Limited Wish that would make it work. Or should it not have been able to bring the other PC back?

Seems reasonable to me.

Totally up to you as the GM. I'd have allowed it.

For comparison, the 5th-level cleric spell plane shift can get the player out but not necessarily to where they were before. Dispel magic also works but requires a dispel check.

The only problem with those solutions though are:

- Plane shift: you have to be able to touch the creature. For maze, there is no one to touch

- Dispel magic. Similar situation, what exactly are you targeting to dispel?

I believe the implication there is the person targeted with Maze is also a caster, and either plane shifts themselves or dispels the maze effect that they're inside of.

If that is the case than I agree they could work. Having someone else get them out seems to add a wrinkle though

Eh, the wrinkle doesn't raise the "power level" of the intended effect all that much in my opinion. Of course, another GM might disagree.

Youre effectively cancelling a spell 1 level higher with Limited Wish.
I would argue about the "cancels a harmful effect".
Being lost is not harmful.
