I wish I could read faster

Granted, but you can only read Ancient Greek.

I wish to develop a non-destructive, useful Quirk.

[AonEne he/him]

Granted, but you don't like it. (Not going into details because I think that's a franchise I don't know.)

I wish @Zath would post more often (and therefore have the time to do it) and not have that harm the rest of his life in any way. More awesome Nightwatcher, more awesome Beram, more awesome everything please.

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, but all of his posts have to have an annoying meme attached.

I wish for an aviar from Sixth of the Dusk.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Granted. However, because you just took his aviar, he kills you with only an ant.

I wish for utter dominence.

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, you get utter domination over an uninhabited small moon thousands of light years away.

I wish for the powers of a Kandra.

[StormblessedSurvivor he/him]

Granted. That is, a kandra without its spikes. With no way to put some in.

I wish to have a perfect life (perfect in my opinion-the opinion that I currently have).

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, but you have to relive the same perfect day over and over again.

I wish for there to be more emojis on the 17th shard.

Granted!!! But now you have an abnormal fear that the robots are all out to get you.

It's only abnormal because the robots have already brainwashed the rest of you into placid acceptance of their reign of terror!  I'm the only one left...  *panicked breathing*  They're coming... They're coming for me!  AUGH!!!

Aww, shucks...   Stop inflating my ego, you kind-hearted soul, you.

Granted!  The Nightwatcher blows a column of green smoke into your face, and you feel your flesh begin to bubble and melt off of your bones.  The control over your body that you previously enjoyed is completely gone, and you collapse into a puddle of translucent muscles.  Your thinking slows to a crawl, and then to a feeble twitch; your cognitive functions are devolving into those of a simple mistwraith.  This is the end...

Sploooorp.

Twin lengths of metal suddenly interrupt the uniformity of your slimy flesh.  You can suddenly think again, and you realize that the metal must be a kandra Blessing, a pair of spikes that grants sentience and power.  Whew, that was a close one, you think, unable to do anything other than think at the moment.

Plopshm, bloormp, sploombmp.

Six more spikes enter your body.  The sensation is unpleasant, but the understanding that these spikes are the other three types of kandra Blessings overshadows the discomfort.  Wow!  You're now smarter, and your senses, body, and emotions are much stronger than they used to be!  Awesome! you think to yourself.  The Nightwatcher gave me a great boon!

Wait a sec.  The Nightwatcher gave me a great boon...  Uh oh.  What's my bane?  What's my bane?!?

You wait in suspense for the inevitable curse the Nightwatcher has in store for you.  And wait.  And continue to wait...  

Nothing happens.  Hmm.  Well, you might as well get going then.  You try to take a step, but the only result is a faint trembling in one of your many muscles.  You don't move anywhere.  

Oh yeah.  I don't have legs. Fortunately, you can feel the skeleton of your former human body nearby; you can use that to form a new body!  Excellent.  ...Now, how do form a foot?  And where does this bone go?  If you could see what you were doing, this would be a lot easier.   ...How do you form eyes? 

Yes, your bane is that you have no idea how to form a body and no kandra mentor to teach you how.  Trial and error, baby.  Maybe you'll get the hang of it in a few centuries or so.

And since the Nightwatcher doesn't think that's bad enough, you are also immediately recognized wherever you go, no matter what form you take.  And physically impersonating the deceased is considered very bad form, don'tcha know.  

 

Ninja'd.    Storm it.

Granted!  The opinion you currently have of a perfect life is frankly ridiculous, so you find yourself in an enormous tree-house dressed in overalls, a tuxedo jacket, Groucho Marx glasses, and a fez.  The tree-house is bare of furniture and goes on forever-- there is no way out.  Every room you enter has stacks and stacks of money, preserved forever in large cubes of amber.  There's no way to get the money out, and no way to spend it even if you could.  (The cubes of amber are artfully placed, however.  You make a mental note to compliment the interior designer when you get the chance.  After you complain about the lack of furniture, of course.)  

An annoyingly dapper butler by the name of Vern trails you everywhere you go.  Every fifteen seconds he offers you caviar, room-temperature root beer, and nothing else.  He refuses to respond to anything other than requests for caviar, room-temperature root beer, or both.  This pleases you.

You soon discover that by blinking three times rapidly, you can activate a VR implant and play the video game you always thought should exist:  Tree-House Maze!  It's an exact virtual replica of the enormous tree-house you're currently trapped in.  Ain't that grand?

You enjoy yourself for a couple days, but then you start to lose your mind, as is proper in such a situation.  

The Nightwatcher gives you no bane, seeing as how your boon is curse enough.

 

Ninja'd AGAIN.   *grumbles*

Granted.  

Your bane is that while these are technically on the 17th Shard (since they're in my post here and we are on the 17th Shard's website currently... *double-checks URL*  Yes, we're on the 17th Shard ), you'll have to be creative if you want to use one in particular rather than the entire bunch in one big table of emojis.

I wish for a perpetual motion machine.

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, the planets of our solar system are now the balls of a giant perpetual motion machine (similar to this one: https://www.videoblocks.com/video/perpetual-motion-machine-eei2p1ydl) which you technically own. Everyone on Earth has seven minutes to live before it crashes into the other end of its compartment.

I wish for a hover board that actually hovers.

Edited January 7, 2019 by Lunamor

[Mailnaise she/her]

Yay! Your wish is granted, hover board have been invented, but you don't get to use yours, because when they were the new door-buster deal on Black Friday, you were trampled on the way in and broke your leg with permanent repercussions. Have fun with that 90% off hovering hover board now. 

I wish to be able to yell at people who make me angry with no repercussions. 

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, you have an irresistible urge to yell compliments at people who make you angry.

I wish to have a sphere filled with Stormlight that never runs out.

Granted. You go blind, deaf, numb, and mute, unable to contact the outside world to tell people what the sphere is and why it's glowing.

I wish for the ability to swap myself at will into the opposite sex in an equal representation of what I would be at that point.

[Mailnaise she/her]

Granted, but it happens randomly and uncontrollably. 

I wish I could go back and forward in time with no repercussions or paradoxes.

Granted! But you now have lost all of your senses. Sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing no longer work for you.

I wish for the ability to read the minds of people, regardless of where they are in proximity of me.

[Mailnaise she/her]

But you also hear the thoughts you don't want to hear too...could be a bane unto itself in my opinion...

I wish that my little sisters would stop waking me up earlier than I want to in the mornings I can sleep in.

I literally said "at will"

What's the ruling on direct opposition boons/banes?

Granted, you now have a nocturnal sleep schedule. And your sisters wake you up at 12:00 pm each day.

I wish to be able to eat whatever I want without gaining any excess weight.

Granted. You no longer gain any nutritional value from what you consume.

I wish I could use Electrum Compounding.

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, but all electrum on earth vanishes and it is impossible to create more.

I wish for a set of Shardplate that I have some way of recharging.

Granted! Your Shardplate recharges off your life-force. Bout a year's worth for an hours use. (Not a bad deal all things considered.)

---

I would like to go on an adventure with Rick and Morty and walk away with nothing worse than a hangover.

Granted! But the hangover never ends

I wish to skip past the cyberpunk future right into the space opera future

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, you are now in a future where you are the star of an opera about a dispute over a parking space.

I wish to live on Roshar.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Granted. You are now a slave of the Fused.

I wish for the Bands of Mourning.

[Lunamor she/her]

Granted, you get a bunch of boy bands singing songs where they mourn their recent breakups.

I wish for some pie.

Granted. Every time you try to grab it or any other food, it turns into your least favorite food and disappears.

I wish for a single checker piece.
