#No Material Components or Casting Times

Wish allows you to cast any spell without a material component or casting time. Many lower leveled spells are balanced around their casting times.

Some examples of how this is incredibly potent:

1. Use Wish to cast Planar Binding at level 9 as an action without a material component. Any celestial, fiend, fey, or elemental that fails their save is bound to your will for a year. Better yet - use Feeblemind or Portent to guarantee a failed save, even against a demon prince (provided you burn their legendary resists).
2. Cast Simulacrum as an action without a costly material component. Copy all of that creature's spells and abilities (including legendary actions and legendary resists) for free. No save, no to-hit roll.
3. Up against an undead/fiend/fey/celestial army? Cast Forbiddance as a L9 spell to target 40,000 square feet of space (that's 8,000 squares, or basically a whole battle map). Chosen creatures take 5d10 radiant damage per round (no save), and can't teleport into the area. Lasts 1 day, no concentration.
4. Facing a Demon Lord or other nasty without access to Dispel Magic or teleportation? Hit them with an instant-cast Magic Circle for a free, concentration-less prison lasting 7 hours. No save.
5. About to die? Cast Magic Jar as an action to save yourself and get a new, less dead body. (And then use Wish to cast Resurrection to raise your own corpse).
6. Use an action to cast a free Resurrection.
7. Are you an illusionist? Use Wish to cast Mirage Arcane.You can literally tell your DM to change battle maps to anything you want as an action because you don't like this one. Does a "mountain" count as an "object" for the purpose of illusory reality? How about 1 mile high, 1 mile wide adamantium wall or an appropriately sized adamantium cage or pit?
8. Use Creation to create any "object" you want and make it real. Can you Wish to cast Creation as an action to make a 25*25 cube of adamantine, or dynamite, or caesium? RAW (and presumably, RAI), the answer is yes. Yes you can. And there is no restriction on using Creation offensively in this manner.

RAW (and presumably, RAI), the answer is yes. Yes you can. And there is no restriction on using Creation offensively in this manner. Creation has a range of 30 feet, and can be cast "above" a target. A 252525 cube of 24K gold (that's 15625 cubic feet) weighs 18,808,374 pounds. Whatever you hit with that is not getting back up.
