"Wish power" was a kind of power Jiang Chen had defined himself.
He had discovered that the power attached to sacrificial offerings differed from Sister Hong's power of fate, and also from the power of curse wielded by ghosts and monsters.
Yet it worked much like both of them, capable of warping reality out of thin air.
And it was even stronger, almost akin to the Dao.
He called it "wish power" because he had thought of the traditions of burning incense to worship Buddha and making offerings to ancestors. These practices contained intense faith and remembrance; people's "wishes and thoughts" were at work.
And sacrificial offerings were often ritual supplies such as incense, candles, paper money, candlesticks, and spirit money.
So he personally believed that what worked through sacrificial offerings was a kind of wish power.
And now, from this ugly, shabby, handmade doll, Jiang Chen actually sensed a power extremely similar to that of a sacrificial offering.
"This doll is fifty or sixty years old at most. It definitely doesn't meet the standards for a sacrificial offering. Those things are often relics from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago."
"But this power is almost identical in origin, except..."
Holding the doll, he tried various methods: pouring demonic power into it, igniting it, corroding it with a death curse...

True sacrificial offerings were almost omnipotent.
Yet after Jiang Chen lit it, it had only three to five simple uses, such as cursing someone or healing himself.
Still, its "wish power" was quite strong, already comparable
