"That's really stupid and dangerous."

"I know. It was - we did think he might try to use it against us but if that involved him not using them himself it'd be worth it."

"Nope."

He looks skeptical.

"Were you assuming someone'll stop you? No one'll stop you."

"...I could maybe fix it for you but it's the one with the love curse side effect."

"That seems like a pretty bad tradeoff right now but I guess I'll let you know if it changes. - and I'll apologize to Findekáno for being annoyed with him for wanting to have created this instance of me from before I swore it."

"If it changes that might be too late."

"We could order up more Wishes to free people from binding oaths they've sworn. - this will seriously screw with your lawfulness but I guess none of you care."

"I'd like to be slightly more lawful in the boring formal sense if only as a contingency plan for if all my grander ambitions than fixing individual trials fail, but yeah why would it matter to anyone with a different setup?"

"Well, then, everyone except Belmarniss can make stupid oaths and Wish themselves free of them for as long as Cam'll provide the diamonds."

"Do you want me to fill a warehouse? More efficient than asking me every time you want a bagful if it's a predictably ongoing commodity need."

He gestures at an attendant. "Show him an empty storage facility right now."

Can follows the attendant to fill up a facility with boxes of diamonds and its dust.

"We should maybe have a secret department dedicated to hang-the-incentives resurrecting everyone with a bad afterlife," he says to Hemaka.

"If we mostly grab drow or something we could skip worrying about the incentives."

"Which drow? The babies are either babies or have families from the boneyard. The rest are. Y'know. Drow. Lots of them suck. What will you do with them?"

"I'm not really clear on what all we have the capacity to do, here, but even if we just turn them into statues that leaves us in a better place later on than if they get themselves eaten in the Abyss."

"Probably the purest good example of someone to rehabilitate is someone who was evil and if given a second chance will stop but someone who is evil and on track to stop existing entirely might also be worth it."

"You could see if my sister is dead yet."

"You didn't mention earlier."

"I don't talk about her much."

Pelape's everything isn't dead yet. She finds a picture. "Sofa."
