No, actually, what you refer to is called practical optimization. A common mistake when looking at theoretical optimization.
The rule says I can create a magic item and then fails to limit me in a meaningful way.
I am not saying I am just doing 10 jumping jacks to cast a wish spell because the rules don't say I can't.
I am saying that I am using a poorly defined rule that allows theoretically anything and building from there.
So, you miss an important point with your statement: I have grounding in existing rules to do this rather than making them up on the spot.
Nope, it mentions it under the ability to pervert a wish which means that he wished for something beyond his XP cost to create as I have shown that due to lack of specifics yet still grounded rules it is possible to create without prerequisites.Quoth the PHB:
Indeed...creating items without prerequisites is not a possibility by your own example, but moving you to an existing item of that description (or moving that item to you) is.
