They didn't have limitless power. They could just make things they hate go away.

I think either the OP got lost in double negation or that's precisely what he meant. Wishing away "not having limitless powers" would be the same as getting limitless powers. But it doesn't work like that. You can't get something by wishing away not having it in the first place, since you never had it.

You actually make a good point. I suppose you could always try it and see what happens.
