Two story ideas spawned by Harry Potter

Anywish
Suppose there was a single way to attain any wish. What is most interesting about this is the realisation that the concept of "production" is nullified. Suddenly a crack appears in reality which completely nullifies the foundations of capitalism - that something may be obtained at no cost. Against this concepts of wealth, class system, success, progress and technological history are all nullified. Very interesting short story (or part of the Anura series maybe?)

Reverse Entropy
So any wizard worth their trade even Mary Poppins has the ability to increase the entropy of a room by magic - i.e. clean it up. But apply this magic to a burned love note and suddenly what was irreversably destroyed is recreated. In other words the Past can be resurrected and all information recovered. Such a magic does more than clean up rooms it can locally and asyncronously nullify the concept of Past! I mean by that we can recreate a burned love note (setting it back in time) while letting all other things remain present. What does this mean for our concept of Time!
