Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

[DrakeMarshall]

Granted. You can go in a coma until the day before oathbringer comes out, so from your perspective, it seems like it only takes a day.

But you did lose a few months of your life, all so you could reach your destination of Oathbringer. Journey before destination!!! *runs away cackling as you fall into a deep sleep*

 

I wish for a flock of domesticated Aviar, ones that can grant useful powers. (I just read Sixth of Dusk ).

Granted. You now have a flock of aviars that can predict danger. On the bad side, they hate you. And you see your dead body everywhere. 

I wish to enjoy an 80 year supply of nutella

Granted, but it's horseradish.

I wish I had money.

Granted. You sell your soul to Odium for $42.00 USD and now have money. When you die however, your cognitive shadow will be trapped on Braize and you will experience something similar to what the heralds did between the desolations. On the bright side, I'm sure when Sanderson eventually finishes his ten book series, the threat of Odium will be contained. So probably after a few years of torture you'll be freed to pass into the beyond.

I wish for something that I won't regret wishing for, despite the bane.

Congrats. You meet your true love. Sadly, after a few years, they die in a tragic accident with pigeon and a train. However it is time that you will treasure for the rest of your life.

I wish that I won't have to go to my stupid choir concert tonight.

Huh. Well played.

Anyways, you don't have to go to the concert. You never did. The nightwatcher perceives that your wish is really expressing a desire to have a more precise command of the english language, and grants you this. As your bane, you lose the little toe on your left foot, which gives you a slight limp.

 

I wish to witness Hoid and Kelsier argue about being on time. Kelsier believes that "always being on time implies that you have nothing better you should be doing" where Hoid believes that timeliness is in fact the greatest and most valued virtue.

Neither of them seem to be very good at dying on time...

Fantastic. Now I'm going to be the grammar nazi. Well played yourself. Granted. However you are caught holding the clock. Who knows what that will lead to. 

[Podman]

No wish? Then I will grant you two banes! 

1st: Everything you see always appears to be in slightly varying shades of green.

2nd: You will forever lose the ability to walk... with your feet.

 

I wish to be wished upon by a wishing fish to fish a wish or my wish will wish wash away and be wasted. *pauses to take deep breath and bows*

Granted. 

You have gained another hunger drive, which craves solely oatmeal. And oatmeal no longer satisfies your normal food hunger.

I wish to know people's names by looking at them.

Granted. When you look at people, you also see how long they have left to live, shown in a red bar underneath their name. Underneath that is a blue bar that shows their skill level in what they are currently doing. Also, from now on you despise all MMORPJ's. Your bane is that when you look at books, you see the author, title, genre, length of pages, word count, character count, and all of the main plot spoilers. You also see a meter that tells you how much you would have enjoyed reading the book without having the spoilers.

I wish that my taste buds perceive everything as tasting wonderful. Not the same, still variety, but everything tastes delicious.

Congratulations. Everything tastes delicious. Including yourself. And poisonous plants. And mushrooms. And desks and books. And you end up taking bites out of everything. And people get scared after you take a bite of yourself (which apparently was delicious). Your bane is that you are now bereft of peripheral vision. Your normal focus works just fine, but you cannot see people sneaking up on you from the side. 

I wish to know the meaning of life

Okay. You are given a book of the meaning of life. It has everything you want to know. It also has more words than Oathbringer will. And is written completely in binary. Your bane is that you have a sudden dislike of numbers. And reading.

I wish that I can command things to snuggle me at will, including but not limited to puppies, bunny rabbits, blankets, etc.

Granted, but you are now allergic to every type of animal's fur/skin/scales/whatever and cotton/fiber/silk/etc.

I wish that I were invincible to all physical harm, including but not limited to fire, disease, nuclear explosions, Shardblades, etc.

Granted, but every time you receive physical damage you age one year. Get shot, age a year, get blown up, age a year, get a paper cut, age a year.

I wish for a cursed object.

Said object carries the curse of burden. Regardless of the object itself it has absolutely no use and to carry it feels as if you were carrying a great weight. Attempts to abandon or destroy it have no effect as it will simply return to you.

I wish to have clarity of mind and purpose, to know what I should do in life.

Granted, you have perfect clarity of mind of purpose, and have even become 3x smarter than you were before! Then you were suddenly struck dumb and paralyzed, the doctors saying you don't have long to live. Your ultra smart brain can tell your death is imminent so... enjoy your clarity!

I wish for an Inquisitor Cat to exist. Inquisicat, if you will.

Eh at least I know my fate.

Said Inquisicat was first spiked with metal driven through your heart, killing you (duh), before going on to create more of its kind, eventually leading to an epic cataclysmic battle against the Mistborn Llamas which destroyed 90% of the planet.

Cataclysmic! 

Also, you forgot a wish, so I wish for access to every form of investiture. i.e. I have the powers of a Fullborn, Elantrian, Herald, etc.

Oh whoops  

You have the powers for only a second before a chromium Allomantic savant attacks you using a specialised technique which removes all your power and leaves you barren Investiture-wise.

I wish to have a pocket universe where time stands still and I have control over all things inside that I can access and leave at will.

[ShadowLord_Lith]

Granted, though the ability to enter your realm has a cost consisting of you removing a portion of your body permanently.(i.e. Cut off a finger, toe, limb, etc...)

I wish for permanent access to every form of investiture as well as the ability to gift power to others. (I made a double wish, I get a double curse. Have Fu-uuun!)

Okay, here goes. The Investiture is permanent because it is part of your soul. The two are directly connected, and inseperable, so... when you gift your power to others you die. Your bane is that you cannot retain memory of anything Sanderson related. Books, FAQs, his name, Cosmere, Investiture, etc. So you forgot you have powers. And you can't read anymore Sanderson books. That, and since you have no practice of your powers, you have no control, so you may randomly accidentally gift your powers away at any time. 

I wish to have the ability to raise and lower my 'stats' at will. Charisma, athletic ability, intelligence, etc.

[Straw]

Granted, however, every 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds, your insanity stat resets to 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. I wish for the ability to grant boons and banes.

Edited June 23, 2017 by Straw

[StrikerEZ]

Granted, but every time you grant someone a boon/bane, you have to be granted a boon/bane (either of your own choosing, or from some external source). 

I wish I could be immune to the Nightwatcher's banes.

[Toaster Retribution]

Granted, but you will only be immune to the non-life threatening ones.

I wish I could have a living, talking sock as a friend.

[Stormseeker]

Granted; unfortunately, this particular sock happens to be Emil Zapotek's right foot sock, the one he wore in the 1952 Olympics. It can talk, but only in Czechoslovakian, and will only talk if you run long distance races. Otherwise, it treats you with utter disdain, and claims in broken English that Czechoslovakia should still be a country because "it is magický."
