In basic SoA Limited Wish was only conjuration/summoning. However with ToB installed it has been set so both conjuration and invocation magic can be used to trigger the limited wish and the same for wish itself.
The problem is that the spell doesn't realise it. It is not possible for a diviner to scribe the scroll. However a wish scroll goes into the spellbook with no problems. So I am thinking it's a basic oversight - that they corrected the description text, but forgot to update the spell as well. Has anyone else had the problem? I didn't find a fix at baldurdash.

For those spells that are part of 2 schools, I believe that a Specialist Mage cannot scribe the spell if either of the schools are that Mage's Opposition school. So the fact that a Diviner cannot learn it is not a bug.
Where it really gets weird is Spellstrike: It, too, belongs to two schools, except that these two are in direct opposition (Abjuration and Alteration).

Really? Okay now it gets even weirder, because you CAN scribe Wish. In all due fairness I consider diviners the most capable of handling the powers of a wish. After all wisdom is their secondary attribute with a value of at least +16. The training they have also makes them more capable at forseeing the consequences of the wish wording.
Perhaps two schools can mean one or the other. That is it can either need power from both schools (and thus become exclusive to specialists) or it can be channeled through one of the schools of choice. To me Wish is alteration/invocation magic. I really don't see any summoning in it. Yes, you have to comunicate with a djinn the way it is portraited in BG2, but does it really have to be present at your location? After all we are talking about the supreme non-dweomer spell. I will gladly acknowlegde limited wish as a "genie in a bottle" wish with a true summoning component. After all this confusing yappe-di-yap I guess the conclusion is that there is no bug after all. My pardons.

Okay I think it must be so. Either it needs both or one or the other. Too many spells are inconsistent for it to be otherwise. For instance is Melf's MM (alteration/invocation) available to abjurers, but Wizards Eye (alteration/divination) is not.
