Granted. Your bane is that cats constantly find their way into your house and create large piles of cat hair.

I wish for a powerful magic staff. running out of ideas.

My dogs already create rafts of dog hair that I could use to sail the seas of shadesmar. That curse seems a bit cruel (highly allergic to cats).

But, wish granted. You get a powerful magic staff... but uncharged and that can only be charged in another dimension, that you do not have access to without access to the power of the staff.

I wish that money actually grew on trees.

[Rabbit Unmade]

Pennies start growing on a single, almost dead tree in Norway.

 

I wish I was an Edgedancer.

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

Granted. You have no access to Stormlight.

I wish for @The Wandering Wizard's staff to be charged.

[Yumiya]

Granted: @The Wandering Wizard's staff is charged with investiture keyed to someone else, making the power inaccessible to him.

I wish for the ability to operate, both mentally and physically, effectively on no sleep. 

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

Granted, you also have narcolepsy, and fall asleep randomly and without warning.

I wish to do well in my job interviews

[Emery the Steelrunner]

Granted, your inbox and voicemail are now flooded with millions of job offers. Only a few are good.

I wish I could fly.

[Some Random Spren]

Granted. You can fly. You cannot come back down.

I wish for a shardblade

[Yumiya]

Granted: You are given a dead shard blade and the ability hear it scream every time you touch it (like Radiants do)

I wish for more bookshelves.

[SzethTheHonorblade]

Granted, your bookshelves are made of living trees.

I wish for better Pokemon UNITE skills.

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

Granted. You no longer have any clue what that is, and so do not use that skill.

I wish for the ability to shrink things.

[NerdyAarakocra]

Granted. You can't control what things you shrink.

I wish for the ability to always draw sweepers in games of EDH when someone gets an overkill boardstate.

 

(Me fervently hoping that the Nightwatcher can't speak in MTG jargon)

[The Wandering Wizard]

Granted. You are now blind.

I wish to have all the cards I need for my Yu-gi-oh deck of cards.

That would be AWESOME!!!

[Yumiya]

Granted: They appear blank to anyone but you.

I wish I could clone Sanderson so he could work on Cosmere and non-Cosmere works (ie Rithmitist II) at the same time.

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

Granted. The two sandersons hate each other, and constant arguing delays permanently all further books.

I wish to be able to make things bigger.

[The Wandering Wizard]

Granted. You now see people as food and food as people.

I wish to not have to sleep.

[Just a Silvereye]

Granted. You have lots of free time now, so would you do for me all that work I'm supposed to do? And do the same thing for him? And for her? And for them? And for everyone you know? Also, you don't have toes now.

I wish to be able to enter inside the books I read (like, whenever I read Stormlight I can warp myself in Roshar)

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

Granted. You always end up in a perilous situation next to a character but without any powers.

I wish to see food as food.

[Just a Silvereye]

Granted. You see everything as food.

I wish for a pet dragon.

[Shining Silhouette]

Granted. You now can no longer associate yourself with anyone and spend all your time caring for it.

I wish to be Fullborn

[The Wandering Wizard]

Granted, you now live in a D&D world, where there are those that know your weaknesses...

I wish to be able to truely multitask.

[Shining Silhouette]

Granted, now every task you complete is half as well done

I wish to fly

Granted!

As soon as your wish leaves your lips, you find yourself transported 10,000 feet up into the air. To your horror you find yourself plummeting to the ground, unable to stop or even slow your fall. Given that the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 32 ft/s^2, it takes you about 5 seconds to reach terminal Velocity (approximately 174 ft/s). Hurtling through the air at ~118 mph, you have nearly a minute to think about how you should have been more specific with your wish.

But the Nightwatcher isn't without some mercy, just before you hit the ground you find yourself once again transported 10,000 feet above the ground. This time as you plummet you experiment with different body alignments and find that you can control your descent to a pretty great extent, and once again just before you hit the ground you are again transported 10,000 feet up into the air.

As you get used to your new life, you get quite adoept at managing your perpetual falling, and even devise systems with your loved ones whereby they throw you sandwiches, pickles, and other consumables to you just before you teleport back up to fall again.

Could be worse.

I wish I had a pocketwatch that could control time, specifically with the following 3 functions:

1) A button that stops time for everyone/everything not touching the pocketwatch..

2) A dial that advances/rewinds the hours in a day.

3) Another dial and button that allows you to set a specific time/date that you can jump too.

Oh, and, I would also like it engraved with the following, "Time is an arrow, if you don't give it a shot then all you'll ever do is quiver"

[The Wandering Wizard]

Granted, since it is so powerful an artifact you are constantly falling upward and right after you die, you come back to the ground to start again.

I wish to have a tame bazelgeuse that I have a bond with.
