Yay for correct usage! And here's a fun bit of linguistic trivia for you: it's a common misconception that "wrought" is the past tense of "wreak." This arises from the fact that both "wreak havoc" and "wrought havoc" are common phrases. In fact, "wrought" is an archaic past tense of "work" (you can see this in "wrought iron," which of course means the same thing as "worked iron") and "wreaked" is the correct past tense of "wreak."
