STRATEGY
This is another one of those "Maintenance IGM's". It doesn't offer a huge possible gain, but it's worth trying each day.
As you "enter" the Wise One's realm, you'll be asked what you wish for. There's a wide range of things to try for - strength, defense, hit points, gold, XPs, etc. I've always just asked for either Strength or Defense, depending on what I needed the most. It's not guaranteed though that you'll get anything.
This IGM can't hurt you... the worse thing that will happen is that the Wise One will declare you "unworthy" of what you ask; if he decides you ARE worthy, you'll gain 20 points in Strength or Defense. I don't know about possible gains in any of the other areas.
Once again, this is a daily Maintenance IGM... no real big gains possible, and unlike Dreamlord, it isn't even guaranteed that you'll get anything. On the other hand, you CAN'T be hurt in this one. The only bad thing I've seen is that occasionally, this IGM will lock up when you try to exit it, (regardless of results). For this reason, I usually try not to have a Fairy when I enter this IGM, just in case I get stuck, get a dropped Carrier, or get thrown out to the Main Menu. These things don't happen real often, but as they do occur occasionally, I try not to be in a vulnerable position just in case. This means I deposit all Gold, sell any Fairies, use any Gems, etc., just in case I lose carrier and can't get back in for a while.
