I was just thinking of something. Technically, there's no restriction in the animate object spell to using it on magical items, and imagine the chaos an animated Rod of lordly might or an animated ring of wishes might inflict.

"An animated object can be of any nonmagical material"

btw: just what did you envision an animated ring of wishes doing?

using wish to create a world where rings rule the world?Animated objects (constructs) don't have much of an imagination. An intelligent item could possibly do this, but it seems well beyond the power of a wish, and besides; a ring of wishes has a limited amount of wishes to use (which also normally prevents it from being an intelligent item).
