So basically fairy godmother nearly never works.
example of simple use case: I make a wish from wich X benefits.
if X or anyone who likes X can find I did this(for example by investigating with some wizardry) I would almost definitively improve in the opinion of that person and so it would benefit me.
So I can cast that spell only in the case I have a 100% reliable way of being completely untraceable.(which would need mind blank and other similar procedures as well as a lot of stealthiness and being completely unpredictable)
Then since I am good if I help someone good then I help the cause of good which benefits me indirectly too so I can not use that on any good aligned creatures.(nor on any creature that is likely to become good soon or likely to help other people)

Yep! You're meant to use it only to help commoners get to the ball (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella) on time, then never interact with them again. It's a fluff feature.

Making the target get to the ball would almost definitively benefit me since I wanted the target to be happy so the wish helped me in that task.
So making the target get to the ball would be a wrong use of that power unless it results in bad things for the target or if I really dislike the target and that I am unhappy the target is happy to be married.
So I would need to consider helping the target is not a good thing.(for example help someone to kill me)

So I would need to be utterly indifferent to what happens to the target and not consider helping the target is a good thing.

Ha! Fair point, however I intended for the ability to be interpreted as "If you materially benefit (even indirectly), the spell fails." I think the intent is clear but I can edit it if necessary.

Cool now I can use that feat to get a spell that can be used for helping people I do not hate.
