Granted. Unfortunately the first time you use the teleporter you died, and an entity that believes it is you emerged from the other side, fully believing that the teleportation was successful. The process of atom level dissasembley and analysis at the source location and remote reconstruction of the same pattern of atoms and molecules just creates a clone with the same memories, it is in fact not you. Bad break on that one, but there are quite a few copies of yourself in heaven so there's that silver lining.

I apologize for any typos, it's difficult typing this by touch, as I can no longer see through the glass of my phone screen.

I wish I could see the earth from the surface of the moon.

Granted. You teleport there instantly, and the vacuum of space explosively sucks the air from your lungs, killing you within seconds, if not immediately.

But at least the view was nice.

I wish for a soda.

Granted, a Mountain Dew can appears in your hand. Your bane is to die 9 minutes before you would have anyway. 

I wish for Nintendo switches to not be sold out anymore.

Granted. When you awaken from your 2 year coma Nintendo Switches are in plentiful supply, but the new Nintendo system which is 500 times cooler is all sold out. The Nightwatcher felt kinda bad for you so she gave you one of those punchy balloons thats attached to a rubber band.

I wish I could do balloon animal magic, like if I made a balloon dog, the ballon dog would come to life and could walk and bark.

[Soulbinder she/her]

Granted. You can now make balloon animals come to life, but when they do their sole aim is to steal cookies. 
 

I wish for eloquence.

Granted. Your sibilant speech is now a balm for world weary souls. Flowers bloom when they but hear the shortest of your soliloqies. Throngs of admirers hang with baited breath to sip upon the sweet nectar of your honeyed words as they spill from your lips.

About those throngs, they are really demanding, following you around always shouting "Speech! Speech". At first you were flattered and you dazzled them all with your sublime perspicacity. But now you've realized that they don't even care what you say, they still weep and prostrate themselves before you when you angrily shout that they are all a bunch of boot licking vermin. So yeah, your bane is annoying groupies.

I wish one of my buddies would get a motorboat.

Granted, but its motor has the annoying habit of dying when you are the furthest away from land.

I wish for something interesting.

Granted. The Nightwatcher grafted a Baobab tree to the top of your head. Everyone always tells you what an interesting tree that is, and your carbon footprint is negative. So uh, you got that going for you.

Spoiler

I wish for something unique.

The Bugvaghitta

He couldn't fail the queen.

Though his quarry was atop what seemed an insurmountable height, Ranma 12 knew that he must secure it, the fate of his people depended on it.

He felt a warm, humid gust of air on his back, and just in time dodged out of the way of the 5 razor sharp talons that swept through the air and were as long as his entire body. Quickly climbing the sheer wooden wall, he gazed directly into the amber slitted eye of the fearsome hunter. The terrifying beast was over 100 times taller than him, and with a growing sense of dread Ramna 12 continued the arduous climb. The sleek striped hunter let out a terrifying mewl that made the wall on which he clung tremble and shake.

"I can't fail the queen and my people", he thought as his limbs began to ache from his frantic climb.

Finally he reached the lip of the plateau that jutted out from the sheer face of the wall, and scrabbling like mad he finally attained the summit.

Laid out before him was a dizzying array of treasures, meant to confuse his senses and distract him from his ultimate goal. Steeling himself, his mind and his body as one, with iron determination he passed by the lakes of golden dew, and the mounds of delectable savory food within easy reach.

The Queen is counting on me.

Finally after much tribulation, he arrived at his goal, a small hill of sparkling white crystals that exuded an intoxicating smell. Gathering as much as he could carry, he began the daunting homeward journey, knowing that what he carried would allow the queen to feed his people.

(Alternate narration)

The bachelor, living in his apartment with only his tomcat Mr. Waffles as company, was in the kitchen staring at the remnants of yesterday's meals messily spread out on the counter.

"Man, I really need to clean this place up, look at that big splotch of honey on the counter, and all those bread crumbs. Did I really spill that much sugar when I was making my coffee today?"

The bachelor was startled when he heard Mr. Waffles let out a throaty meow after swiping at the floor.

"Too much catnip for you Mr. Waffles"

But then he saw it, a tiny ant dressed in a miniature suit of armor, wearing a cape and humming to itself as it frantically climbed up the cabinet and onto the counter.

He watched in rapt fascination as the little ant knight hemmed and hawed in front of the puddle of honey. He gasped when the ant knight, pausing dramatically before one of the larger bread crumbs, bent from the abdomen so that its thorax was perpendicular to the counter and made the sign of the cross on its armor covered chest.

He watched speechless as the knight ant loaded the pack slung over its shoulder with mound after mound of sugar, and finally carried one massive sugar cube in its two forelimbs. Feeling bad for the little guy, working so hard, he encouraged him to walk onto piece of paper and brought him back to where he knew the ant colony was outside.

(Back to original narration)

His burden secure, the prize retrieved, Ramna 12 prepared himself for the rigors of the homeward journey. Crossing himself and saying a benediction for his people he walked across the Plateau of Temptation.

When suddenly a glorious transcendent white plane appeared from the sky, seeing this as a propitious sign he sallied forth. Up through the air he was borne, with gritted mandibles he clung to that transcendent white plane as he sailed through the dusty air of the treasure cave. Finally he emerged once more into the golden glow of morning, and he found himself transported with speed back to the entrance of his underground kingdom. Thanking his God for his incredible good fortune he walked with his heavy burden to the palace wherein waited his queen. 

Prostrate before her beauty he offered up the sweet smelling crystals, knowing that the young would soon feast on royal jelly.

 

*Edit* 

Oh and by the way your bane is that now your skin is paisley, could have been worse.

I wish I could shoot something useful out of my hands, like easy cheese or diet pepsi.

Granted. The matter used to make the things comes from your own body.

I wish for I am a stick

[+King of Herdaz he/him]

You are a stick but you can't be fire

I wish to be able to use Summoning Charms (i.e. Accio from Harry Potter, the most useful spell in the series)

[BringerOfLight]

Granted, but you can only summon jars of pickles and cans of peanuts.

I wish that I could see the future.

Granted. You can only see the world a few days later than it really is. Your other senses are still aligned to the real time.

[Mat he/him]

Granted. As there is no wish, the Nightwatcher chooses your boon and curse. *evil laughter*

I wish for a giraffe 

[Soulbinder she/her]

Granted. It’s got rabies. 
 

I wish to be able to write a ketek. Those things are hard.

Granted. You find yourself transported 60 years into the future at the precise moment when you would have died and you live the span of your life in retrograde time, starting from a decrepit senility and finally ending as a baby. You obviously can use your present knowledge of past events to make a fortune, but you have to master the skills of moving backwards, talking in reverse, and most annoyingly of all planning out what you should have done before you do it. But you're so fabulously wealthy that when you slip up and don't do things in reverse people just chuckle at your eccentricities.

*Edit*

Whoops, granted the wrong boon.

Granted. You can write keteks now, but your arms are now where your legs used to be and your legs are where your arms used to be. Your keteks are lovely though, and you can now draw with your feet, so that's cool too.

I wish I could take pictures of ghosts.

Granted Soulbinders boon, man pay attention.

[Soulbinder she/her]

Eh, I’m not mad. That’s honestly a pretty good deal.

Granted. You can take pictures of ghosts, but no one but you can see them in the picture.

I wish for a monofin.

Okay, but you'll have to be under water for the rest of your life, or else you'll die.

Before you'll get this title, you need to write a looooooong book and then you need to spend a loooooooot of time improving it.

Granted, but your bad dreams will become reality, too. Since most bad dreams have demons in them, I can only assume yours have demons, too. So now the world is in chaos.

Well, living in Roshar is already bane, because you don't have good hygiene, this world is in war and you're from Asia if my memory is good, so you possibly have dark eyes.

I wish I wouldn't have to clean my room

Yes, I do have dark eyes, though that won't matter if I live in places like Azir.

Hygiene, hmm... I haven't thought of that, and it could be troublesome.
