You should never allow wishes for magic items of any significant power.
Read the section on creating such items; you will see that wishes, sometimes
several, may have to go into their creation.  Obviously that would be wasted
effort if you could just get the whole thing with a single wish.  Boosting
plusses on existing magic items is a good application for a wish, though.

Wishes and psionics.  Wishes should suffice to let any character who meets
the minimum requirements get psionics.  However, this means only that they
get to start rolling to see what their psionics are.  They might wish that
they hadn't!  Wishes should not get you a new discipline, but you should be
able to trade disciplines within the same class (major or minor).  You might
also let two minors be traded in for a major.  Psionic strength ought to be
able to be added up to ten points per wish, but only up to the maximum
rollable strength.  Of course, it can be raised indirectly by raising
intelligence, wisdom, or charisma.
