This is a question involving the use of Wish and Miracle, and to a lesser extent Limited Wish, when emulating pre-existing spells. Do those spells gain the schools and/or subschools and/or descriptors of the spell you are emulating?
As an example, Miracle is used to emulate Deep Slumber. Miracle is of the Evocation school with no subschools or descriptors. Deep Slumber is of the Enchantment school with the (Compulsion) subschool [Mind-Affecting] descriptor. Does Miracle remain Evocation, or does it become an Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] spell, or somewhere inbetween? Nowhere do I see where it clarifies on the matter, and that's a big huge deal when immunities to schools, subschools and descriptors are involved.
If anyone could help me clarify on the matter that would be amazing. Or, if it would be more likely that this is a ruling up to DM interpretation, that's cool too.
