Granted, you now have enough good books keep a bonfire going that will last all of quarantine.

You never said the books actually have to be in a bonfire... So yay! Many books!

I wish for a perfect immune system.

Granted, but you will be stabbed in the gut and die.

 

I wish for somebody else to make a wish.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Granted, but in turn, my wish is that you wish!

@Ishar, make a wish

[Ishar]

Granted.

I wish for a pet moth and for @Truthless of Shinovar to suffer from a moth infestation.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Granted, but now I have a moth army at my command! Mwahahahah!

I wish for the ability to play Aria Math on the piano

[BeaverBuster]

Granted, but your curse is that you cannot play anything else on the piano ever again.

I wish for the ability to teleport anywhere in the world instantly

Granted. It's not yours, but your neighbors. It was delivered to you by accident.

 

I wish to have a photographic memory.

[Failsafe she/her]

Granted, but you are 10x more likely to experience things you definitely don't want to remember. 

I wish dinner was ready

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Granted, but it turns out to be your least favorite food ever.

I wish for the ability to bounce on normal ground like it’s a trampoline.

[Retrac he/him]

Granted, but you can't jump anymore.

I wish for power.

[Experience he/him]

Granted. You now have the power to eat squash twice as quickly as the normal human.

I wish for more wishes.

My, oh my, and what, pray tell, can you give The Nightwatcher in return?

Your face perhaps? Your limbs? Your ability to form long-term memory? Perhaps your ability to taste and touch and smell? Maybe your gender identity? 

[AonEne he/him]

(Can confirm that the last two can be easily lived without, if you’re having trouble choosing. I’ve never actually lost the last one, but I know other people who have. Taste is probably also a safe bet.) 

[Honorless he/him]

The three senses were a combo pack actually. Even if it wasn't, you really don't want to lose your olfactory sense, trust me. I wouldn't recommend going for gender dysphoria either.

Definitely wouldn’t be the best, but you can most likely survive with it, whereas losing touch would be dangerous. 

Why, what is the sense of smell useful for other than being a form of clairvoyance? The only way I can think of where not having it might kill you is detection of deadly gases, but I’m pretty sure we have devices to detect them, and encountering one would be rare.

[Honorless he/him]

Smell is very important, the biggest danger it can allow us to detect isn't fire or gas leak but rotten food: far more mundane and insidious. Flavors we taste come from what we smell, which is why foods can become flavorless when we have a blocked nose. Smell is deeply connected to emotion and long-term memory, and sensory deprivation from it has been linked to depression.

[AonEne he/him]

You do still have a sense of taste even without your sense of smell, it doesn’t just obliterate it  ...right? When you say flavorless, do you mean completely flavorless, like you can’t taste anything at all? 

I didn’t know deprivation of it was linked to depression! That’s interesting.

Taste without smell experiments are a thing, apparently its very hard to distinguish between potatoes and apples without their smell

Your limbs?

I'll give you both of my legs from the knees down. I guess I could also spare my hair and an eye, and if you really want more, I might be able to give you my ability to give incredibly creative banes.

Granted! In exchange for both of your legs, all of the hair on your head and an eye you get the Masque and are spared a bane from me... technically

 

I wish for an incredibly good weather tomorrow

That’s so strange. I’ve never had trouble differentiating, unless it’s raw potato which I can’t remember ever eating.

Granted. There is perfect weather tomorrow. Your bane is that you won't be able to enjoy it, as you will have the coronavirus.

 

I wish for a 

Aether of night magic system:

Spoiler

Bestarin aether.
