well i think everyone will agree that you can't wish a chunked character to life. originally, or rather in PnP (never done that but i've been told) the WISH spell can do basically anything you want (if you have the right amount of Wisdom). This ofcourse can't be impemented in the game.

when a character is chunked that character is out of the game completly. i dont know why the manual states that they can be brought back by a wish, but i know that many other things (atleast in bg1) in the manual isen't implemented in the game, for exmple the "survive ressurection" numbers (again, atleast in bg1). even though the manual states that when you have a low constitution(i think) there is a risk that you won't survive a resurection, but everyone ALWAYS does in reality.

personally i would reload if i lost nalia in the battle against ABAZIGAL. since that ought to be your higest level mage, and that can't be replaced with one from the pocket plane...
