I wish I was a skybreaker.

Granted!

The Nightwatcher proclaims that you are now a Skybreaker of the 3rd ideal, the surges of gravitation and division are yours to command. You meet your spren, a cute little rip in the air blinking stars at you and you decide to name him Twinkle.

But before you can lash yourself up into the sky, the Nightwatcher informs you that your 3rd Ideal, the ideal of dedication, has been sworn for you. You are dedicated to following the will of Nalan, Herald of Justice, and treat his commandments as law.

Just as the full significance of this begins to sink in, your external moral code pops up from inside a bush, chewing on what you think might have been a chicken, and his head rotates your direction as he says:

I was almost done with this post when you 'd me @goody153.

I wish i had a spren-based on Harmony and gives me unique radiant powers

Granted.

The Nightwatcher has given you a Pathian earing and Harmony hears your petition, and creates a special splinter of his dual powers just for you.

It's a perfectly balanced mixture of preservation and ruin, you can summon this sentient bipartite projection of power at any time.
Excited to try out your new powers, you summon your di-spren, and are shocked when a little cartoony angel appears on one shoulder and little cartoony devil appears on the other. The angelic and devilish spren immediately begin bickering about what course of action you should take, it seems that they are telepathic and feel that it is their duty to dispense advice on every single thought that goes through your mind. Frustrated at your inability to think with the constant dualistic arguements going on inside your head, you attempt to dismiss the spren, but you can only summon them whenever you want, not dismiss them whenever you want. Eventually, you are unable to do anything, frozen by the well articulated conflicting arguments against and for every thought that crosses your mind. But, you do glow, so you do get radiant powers.

I wish to have the ability to always know the right decision.

Granted, you always know what the right decision is in any given situation. Your bane is that you lack the moral fortitude to make the right decision, so you spend the rest of your life as an emotional wreck, devastated by your consistent inability to do the right thing. But the Nightwatcher feels bad for you, so you also get the power to shoot donuts out of your fingers.

I wish that I was wealthy enough to afford a trip on the SpaceX flight slated for 2023 that is going to fly by the moon, and that I could take a large collection of items up with me to do experiments in zero gravity (like steamer trunk sized collection of things).

[Blessed peace he/him]

Granted, you have enough money to go to space, however you get it now and must keep it intact till 2023, if you spend a penny of it you cause an international inflation that will bankrupt the company shooting you to space.

I wish i didn't do it.

[StormblessedSurvivor he/him]

Granted, you didn't do it. But you DID do every other terrible thing directed towards other, good people, such as 1) stabbing them 2) nuking them and 3) taking everything Sanderson of theirs.

 

I wish to always do the right, moral, good thing to do.

Granted, but you always feel super guilty when you see someone else do something wrong till you lose the will to anything but can't stop because it's the wrong thing to do.

I wish i could see the creation.

Granted, you become permanently illiterate.

I wish I could become a Willshaper.

[Arith Matic he/him]

Granted, but, you can't control  when you teleport.

Instantly, the Nightwatcher and her surroundings fade away, and you feel the sensation of little glass beads that feel like various things, as you struggle to swim up, you know that you cannot keep this up much longer, and you give up, your lungs filled up with beads...

Then the Nightwatcher pulls you back and scolds you that you should have asked to be a lightweaver.

I wish that I was able to become the best in town, so that no one will ever keep me down.      

[Rasarr she/her]

Granted. As long as you stay in the town you're currently in, you're the best at anything you try your hand at. Unfortunately, the moment you step out of the city limits, you instantly become horribly unlucky and utterly incapable of anything other than basic human functions.

I wish to finally understand Ajax.

Granted. The copperminds contain only this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

I wish for a pie that never runs out.

Granted. It takes it's extra mass from the people who eat it, transmuting that into pie to regenerate.

I wish for the world's most glorious moustache and goatee.

[Winds Alight she/her]

Granted.
You get a moustache on your forehead and the goatee on the tip of sour nose.

I wish to be less lazy and more disciplined.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. The nightwatcher takes your wish to be disciplined literally and inflicts you with severe pain every time you fail at something you wanted to accomplish.

I wish for a slice of hawaiian pizza.

[Winds Alight she/her]

Granted. You even get a whole pizza. In addition, some weird type will stand before your window the whole night, screaming about how much they hate pineapple on a pizza.

I wish to never have to do laundry again. Ever.

[+Ed Venture]

Granted, it is now physically impossible for you to do the laundry, however your clothes become dirty twice as fast and smell four times as bad!

 

I wish to be able to speak words that are twice as fancy as I mean them

Edited December 18, 2018 by The Forumlurker
Forgot my wish

[Eluvianii he/him]

Granted, every time you speak, curses get out, curses twice as fancy as your original thought of course.

I wish to get SA 4 this christmas.

[MrHobbes343]

@Ookla the Dominion Granted, But one in twenty coins will vanish from your pockets.

 

I wish for divine luck

[Arith Matic he/him]

Granted.  You get divine luck, but only are divinely lucky to get the worst possible situation to occur at any given time.

 

 

I wish that the high school musical movies would vanish off the face of the earth, and that I would not remember watching them.

[Brightness Warrior she/her]

"Granted! This one's on me."

You get no bane, thankfully. 

I wish to have all the same powers of the Nightwatcher herself and still retain my identity.

You take the place of the Nightwatcher. (Note above "percussive maintenance" schedule has been upped...)

You retain your identity, literally... in the form of a Tamagotchi pet you have to constantly keep an eye on.

My boon? I would like to treat Cultivation to a night out on the town. Nice meal, dancing, maybe a spren-theatre-movie (however that'll work o.O )

Up to her if we remember it the next day...

[Quantus he/him]

Granted.  She swaps you gender first (she wanted to try something new).  Also, the Stormfather gets jealous in a way he doesnt understand or know how to emotionally contain, and the fallout is...intense.  You dont remember the Why of any of this, but the physical effects are permanent. 

 

Boon: Full conscious understanding and control of my own Spiritweb.

[+Ed Venture]

Granted! You are now Ruin! Bane....You are now Ruin!! So it’s the same either way!! And you can manipulate the spirtweb of others too!!! Yay!

 

My boon: Everything Pokémon becomes some messed up spren enslavement  game where you throw gems at spren to capture them and force them to do your bidding!

Granted!  Everything about Pokémon remains exactly the same as it has always been. The sole difference is in the naming: you throw Pokégems to catch Pokéspren.  That's literally the only change.

Your bane is that every electronic device you currently own, or will ever own in the future, now requires 4 AA batteries to function.  Doesn't matter if you have a power cord for it, the cord does nothing for you.  Only good old fashioned AA batteries will power those devices.  If your device doesn't have a slot for batteries, you'll have to rig it up yourself using cardboard, cheap copper wiring, and duct tape.  I'd take some basic electronic engineering classes if I were you.

 

I call upon the Nightwatcher to grant me a boon:  Make it snow, please!  Just enough for proper snowman-building conditions if it's not too much trouble, Nightwatcher ol' pal, ol' buddy o' mine.

[old man moomba he/him]

Granted! You can now build your snowman! Yay!

Your bane is that you no longer know what snow is. Boo.

 

I would like a nordic drinking horn that provides infinite eggnog.

...Oh storms, what is this white stuff on the ground? Where did it come from?!  ...It can mean only one thing.  THE EVERSTORM COMES!!!!

Granted!  One Nordic drinking horn of infinite eggnog coming right up!  It's the non-alcoholic variety because you didn't show any identification to the Nightwatcher, so she played it safe.  Rich, creamy, delicious.  It also comes with the bonus guarantee that it will never, under NO circumstances, cause your grandma to get run over by a reindeer.*  So that's nice. 
*Nightwatcher & Associates shall not be held liable for any instances of reindeer-related attacks on grandmothers occurring prior to your receipt of this infinite-eggnog Nordic drinking horn.

Your bane is that your relatives and friends (and even vague acquaintances) keep mistaking your drinking horn for a powder keg.  If you don't keep a careful eye on the drinking horn at practically all hours of day and night, you'll soon find that your previously-delicious eggnog now tastes a lot like saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and other gunpowder-y flavors.  Hmm.

 

I wish for THE BEST.

Granted, but you no longer know what that is, exactly.

 

I wish for @Ishar to see this and tell me Trell's plans!
