I had a quick question in regards to the wish spell and its ability to duplicate other spells of 8th level and lower without the need to "meet any requirements in that spell, including costly components." When wish is used to duplicate a spell with an expensive material component that is a logical part of the spell, does the wish spell create the material component?
For example, say I used wish to duplicate Leomund's secret chest. Leomund's secret chest requires "an exquisite chest, 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet, constructed from rare materials worth at least 5,000 gp and a Tiny replica made from the same materials worth at least 50 gp." When I cast wish to duplicate Leomund's secret chest, does the magic of the wish spell create an "exquisite chest" and "Tiny replica" to be used for storage and retrieval? Is the chest and replica worth 5,000 gp and 50 gp, respectively, or are they considered worthless outside of their use for the spell? Could I use this chest and Tiny replica as the material component when casting Leomund's secret chest normally? Could I sell the chest and Tiny replica after I am done with them as a means to use the wish spell to make money?
As another example, say I used wish to duplicate clone. Clone requires "a diamond worth at least 1,000 gp and at least 1 cubic inch of flesh of the creature that is to be cloned, which the spell consumes, and a vessel worth at least 2,000 gp that has a sealable lid and is large enough to hold a Medium creature, such as a huge urn, coffin, mud-filled cyst in the ground, or crystal container filled with salt water." Diamond aside, would the wish spell create a vessel large enough to hold the clone (most likely a mud-filled cyst in the ground)? Would the vessel be considered worth 2,000 gp for the purposes of casting clone normally? Likewise, would the spell provide the 1 cubic inch of flesh of the creature to be cloned? If so, could I use wish to clone any creature I have ever met, so long as they are still alive? Could I use wish to clone a creature I have only heard about, so long as they are still alive?
I just wanted to know for clarification.
