I also have a few questions about the Dreamstone:
1. It's my understanding the object takes away something from the user in exchange for granting the wish. Does this always happen in a "magical" manner, or does the direct result of a wish also count as "paying the price"? For example, would the guy who wished for his wife to drop dead later lose anything else besides his wife?
2. Does the scope of the wish correlate to what the Dreamstone takes in exchange? For example, would the guy who wished for coffee suffer other consequences down the line, besides simply burning his tongue?
3. How does the Dreamstone work with "consumable" wishes? If someone wishes to know winning lottery numbers and then renounces their wish, would they simply forget the numbers? Or would they retroactively lose the wealth they have obtained?
4. How likely is it that there are some people who didn't renounce their wish?
If someone made a wish while watching Max and then turned off their television, then Diana's message wouldn't get to them. It's also implied that Diana was only encouraging people to renounce their wish rather than forcing them to do so.
There are also people in the world who have nothing more to lose. Consider Batman, who suddenly lost both parents at a young age. Had he wished them back to life, then I imagine he would be extremely hard-pressed to renounce that wish.
