I simply wish for a bead of Lerasium to gain undiluted Allomantic powers.

Granted, but as you are from earth, you cannot connect to Preservation via the Spiritual realm, so allomancy is useless.

 

I wish for immortality

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

“Tsk-tsk,” says the Nightwatcher, slowly shaking her head. “Immortality. How predictable. Just like every other storming human that has come here. You know,” says the Nightwatcher, slowly moving towards you, “immortality is really overrated. You live the same days over and over again. You learn everything there is to learn. You lose your mind a couple of times, but it always comes back. And with it comes pain. Raw, horrid, pain. Because you know that you’re stuck. There’s nowhere left for you to go. No happiness, no Beyond, nothing. Take me, for example. The only thing that keeps me sane is by granting the boons for the foolish wishes of men and women, and devising the most cunning banes that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Or in your case, eternity.” By this point, the Nightwatcher is inches away from your face. “So, if it’s really immortality you want, then that is what you will receive. You will live forever... but for your bane, you shall be forced to listen to Nyan Cat music for the rest of forever!”

The Nightwatcher’s laughter is the last thing you hear before the “meows” drown out the horrid noise.

I wish to not get sick this winter break.

Granted, but you break your leg instead. 

I wish for the power to summon edible, delicious food in a sealed container into my hands at any time.

(But seriously, what is an exodihodron polyheadral Squinkele? I tried googling it, and couldn’t get anywhere) 

I've made it up. I wanted to see how people will react to this.

The Nightwatcher decides that Scrabble demons must have taken over your tongue. (Or keyboard, or touchscreen, or whatever). She gives you a hexahedron polyhedral squiggle instead.

Granted. But be warned; the food may be summoned from anywhere. In any sized container. And you have no control over it.

So each time you do so, there's a chance you'll summon an entire shipping crate full of food into your hands.

 

I wish for the permission to fulfil boons without asking for a boon in turn.

That kind of breaks the game. Just ask for mundane stupid things if you can't figure out what to ask for

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Fine, then. I wish for a hundred mundane, stupid wishes.

Wish ideas. A hundred wish ideas.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Granted, but you break the game anyways. The Nightwatcher is very disappointed.

I wish for Christmas!!!!

Granted. But you are transported to a world where sentiant , sapiant, dexterous and mobile trees have a Christian civilization and use Christmas humans for decoration and aesthetic purposes. 

Whether you get out of it alive or not at all , depends on how long you can play dead. Regardless , even if you succeed in hoodwinking them , you will suffer major muscular atrophy.

I wish for Soviet Roshar , complete with Taravangian as Premier and Szeth as the Winter soldier. Malaya is the black widow.

NorthScadrial is America/Canada with Wax as captain America and Miles as Logan/wolverine, Vin is captain marvel.

South Scadrial is Latin America , a pewter compounder is the hulk.

Sel is the extremes of Eurasia , with the dula guy as John Constantine and Shai as overpowered Yukio .

Threnody is mainland and maritime Southeast Asia with Raven and swamp thing and zatanna .

Taldain is Africa with baon as black panther , Shuri is Khriss .

FotS is Australasia ( blanking out on superheros, sorry )

India is Nalthis , Vivenna is Kamalla Khan , Egdli as Rama kushna.

Middle East is Ashyn , black adam and doctor fate come to mind.

Braize is Antarctica, it's got Lovecraftian/Parshendi ghosts.

Granted, needless to say calamitous warring ensues, no need to tack on a Bane on this hot mess!

 

I wish for Baldr's blessing, that is nothing on Earth will hurt me, but including mistletoe!

Granted, however it is permanently stuck to your back.

Granted! You can kill people in a certain range and then tie their life to yourself to summon them (within that same range). They have a low level mental compulsion to follow your orders, more akin to as though they are susceptible to your suggestions. It builds up over time till following you is an automatic reaction for them. They retain all their skills and are autonomous, requiring no extra effort or attention on your part to maintain them. They are essentially people. You can also tie the recently dead whom you did not kill yourself or even those who died long ago, as long as you have records of their behaviour and some biological matter from them. Wherever any of your thralls' bodies are missing biological matter, your power supplies them & restores them. Whether these are really the same people or if your power is cloning them is up for debate. Your summons' experiences and emotions touch your mind too, you become capable of seeing through their point-of-view, you sort of learn things from them via mental osmosis, skills like fighting: barehanded or knives & guns, wilderness survival, chemistry, cooking, mechanics, discipline, analyzing body language, alertness, pickpocketing, criminal underground, persuasion, seduction... you change, slowly, irrevocably, inexorably. It's gradual, hard to notice.

Your body is kind of in a stasis, so killing you is very difficult, even with total incineration, a new you would emerge. Whether this new you is really the same old you or a copy is up for debate.

People come to you from all over the world. People pray to you. To bring back their loved ones. And you listen. You bring back those taken too early, lost to disease or accident, you allow people to solve their own murder, you bring back lost soldiers. You bring back those who were wrongly convicted. You are careful about choosing whom to bring back, a fact that causes many people to be resentful of you. Many faiths have declared you as the Enemy. Many have declared you their God. You prefer to think of yourself as a hero. 

You always ask someone after bringing them back to life if they want to go back to their old lives. Many are overjoyed and so very thankful. Many are hesitant. Many choose to explore the world and have a second chance at life. Some even choose to stay with you, having no one to go back to.

Some you choose for their skill rather than the morality of their deeds, these you don't let go, you make them more obedient and learn their skills.

Slowly you become skilled in everything even as nations rise & fall. Slowly you accumulate the knowledge of ten thousand lifetimes and slowly you are consumed. The death of personality. Your voice is gone, instead what remains is a stapled mess of a thousand souls. Your body is still there, still doing hero work, an empty husk or a prison? People pray to you and people curse you. You choose who gets another life. People rebel and die and become yours. You choose who gets to come back. If you can even be called 'you' at this point.

 

I wish for the power to give people Midas' touch as well as take it away

How are you so good at these? You’re seriously so good at this! I would never come up with the ideas you do in a million years .

Granted, you may give people Midas' touch. You may also take it away, by killing them. Have a good time listening to someone begging you to take the Midas ouch away, after they turn a family member into gold, and knowing the only way to do that is to kill them.

 

I wish for chunks of Lerasium, Tanavastium, Edglium, Raysium, Bavadium, and Atium that are each the size of a large marble, with the exception of the Lerasium and atium, of which I want sixteen beads the size of large marbles.

[+Ed Venture]

Granted! However they are all fashioned as unchanged spikes stabbing you! That’s all the cost of hemalurgy, without any of the benefits! And if you remove them, you die! And you can’t burn any of them because you have no mistborn powers! Your bane is that your best friend’s mind is supplanted by Ruin!

I wish for Kandra-like abilities, but only for my hair!

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

Granted. You receive a deed for each of these in the appropriate size and quantity. Your bane is that they came from the black market, and the police quickly break into your house and arrest you. In a desperate attempt to escape, you swallow the metals, realize you're not an allomancer, and die of lead poisoning. Turns out a couple marbles were fake.

 

I wish that I could go back in time to experience Koloss Head-Munching Day.

Granted! You are given the ability to go back to the time of Koloss Head-Munching Day 2019 (and only that day), and be transported back to the present once the day ends. Your bane is that you will be prevented to do anything that would change anyone's (including your past self) experiences or memories of the day, forcing you to not only remain out of sight and perception, but also to spend the day unable to interact with anything or anyone. Have fun doing nothing but existing for a day!

I wish to have the abilities of a full Feruchemist.

Granted! you will become a keeper at about the time of the beginning of The Well of Ascension, the only drawback is that you must remain in Terris with the other keepers until after the Hero of ages ends, unless forcibly removed by others of evil intent.

 

I wish for more time.
