This has a way of twisting your gameplay when you see all wands of wonder as potential wish givers...
I wonder though if the chance to cast a random spell is equal for all spells?
I did something like 3k zaps for testing in old days. Never had wish and some others like earthquake, improved fireeball seemed to be rather rare.
My guess would be it has same probablities as spellbook generated on ground. But since we do not know exact values for any of these anyway....
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)
