I'd just remove spellbook of wish from the possible starting books altogether - they are useless at that point other than generating gold when sold, if they don't get drenched sooner.
The spell cannot be cast early, does not provide even a small utilitarian use at any point and with the existing casting cost, comes into play in the late-end-game, if at all.
Not to mention random attribute draining by 10 points.
Create item would also require huge amount of power points, making it impossible to cast the spell at any point in the early game.
Even mid-game chars would have to be elven wizards with lots of PP to make a use of the book.
At that point, those few that don't know it already, will discover how utterly useless the spell is, generating heaps of shitty random items at an exorbitant cost.
