wish granted

Hope becomes reality

Wish granted is what you say when giving someone what they asked for, often with a flourish suggesting magical fulfillment: You want the last slice? Wish granted.

The phrase echoes fairy tales and genie stories, implying the speaker has the power to make desires come true.

It can be sincere or ironic—sometimes what's "granted" is trivial or unwanted.
