Hmm... It would be easier to discuss if you had something specific in mind. But what I can say for certain is that the wish cannot affect the machinations of this ritual, so it cannot save all your lives, cure monsters, or anything that could be seen as interference.
However, it can still affect your homes or other aspects, within reason. It can revive the dead from your home, or ensure that someone you met here lives... but they won't retain any memories of their time here.
Is there a way I could make a wish that would revive Gale and cure Astarion? Like - some funny wording, maybe. I bring my two boys from home back to life, or something.
[ scien's gaze flicks down to the engine briefly, frowning ]
... Do as you will. It is an opportunity to accomplish something. Nothing more, nothing less.

[well. she sighs, and then:] Never mind that. I wanted to ask what the limitations on the wish thing was, d'you know?

It cannot affect two lives so drastically. You would need at least two wishes, one for each of them.

... Then I'll probably go for Gale, then. Not... yet, but. He's already gone. I've got to fix that, since he can't get a wish.

Consider coordinating your efforts, if you're all trying to use your wishes on each other instead of for self-preservation.

I understand you lot are probably too noble-hearted to want for someone's demise for your own convenience.
But the wish need not be used immediately. Consider your options.

... I'll keep it for a bit. It's nice to have in my back pocket in case this keeps getting worse. [raps her engine with her knuckles.]

Even if you're a horrible tease, I like knowing you've got my back. Don't get yourself in trouble, now.

[ absolute reckless confidence for this one. but he shakes his head ]
Inform me of what you decide later.
[ not for any big overseer reason. he's just curious, as a... well. friend. ]
