''Witch's Wish'' is a Nintendo DS AdventureGame created by [=TryFirst=] and published by Creator/{{Natsume}}. You play as Vicky, a young girl who longs to be a witch but can't afford the upper-class schooling witches require. Luckily, she gets her chance when a mysterious girl with powerful abilities awakens Vicky's magic--and just in time, as a dark force threatens the town. It's up to Vicky to learn spells, help her neighbors, and save the town!

Not to be confused with ''VideoGame/AWitchsTale'', which also has a witch-in-training and GeometricMagic but has a darker tone.

* DeconReconSwitch: The game goes over the drawbacks of using magic quite a bit, including how using it makes people's lives easier to the point where the people no longer wish to work, as well as general greed and selfishness seemingly arising from the convenience magic provides and the resulting classism, with several characters trying to get rid of magic entirely. However, thanks to Vicky's helpfulness the characters eventually realize that magic itself is not to blame, can be used for many good things and is instrumental in saving the town, and it's really humanity's selfishness and greed they need to moderate, not magic.

Added DiffLines:

* TheSacredDarkness: Greed is generally seen as a purely negative force, but later in the game Fiona and Tanya realize that without greed no one would have desires and dreams, so a little bit of selfishness isn't always bad.

!!This game contains examples of:
* AllLovingHero: Vicky's main motivation to become a witch is so she can help people, including her grandmother.
* CollectionSidequest: Collecting fruit and badges will unlock pictures and music.
* GeometricMagic: Spells are cast using runes drawn on the touch screen.
* LemonyNarrator: The instruction manual mentions how some novice witches use their fingertips to cast magic, but points out that later spells require precise stylus movement so the stylus is better off used.
