Leaving the wish/curce for others, just wanted to make a fitting comment

Even as you wear it, the cloth grows and lengthens and, worst of all, it makes dandruff!!! I wish to be incapable of change physically; I can't age, can't grow, can't lose limbs, etc...
killersquirrel59 he/him Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 (You have got to be kidding me. This thing is still going? I started this over 2 years ago). Granted, however, any amount of movement involves some degree of physical change on a tiny scale, so you are completely immobile, including your ability to breathe or your heart to beat, or electrical signals to fire in the brain, so you die rather quickly. I wish for the ability to stop time at will for as long as I want, whenever I want.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Granted. In the spirit of still being ironic... Whenever you stop time, it stops for you as well. So pretty much, nothing noticeable actually happens when you use the ability. And anyway, are you implying that you can stop time "for a time"? That seems... Paradoxical. I wish for a bottle of shampoo to wash my stack of human-hair fabric.
Capt. Goradel Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Granted. It is magically attracted to your eyeballs, and is not tear-free. I wish to be able to play any musical instrument in the world without practicing.

You are immortalized in history as the best musician ever. Your curse is that you can only communicate through music. No lyrics! I wish for a katana that grants sword skills to whoever holds it. EDIT: This post is the 3,000th reply to this topic! The Nightwatcher gives everyone free cake!!! Edited October 18, 2016 by Lord_of_Awesome FREE CAKE!!!
Capt. Goradel Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I've been told not to take baked goods around here... @Lord_of_Awesome Your katana is stolen and you are killed with it(elder wand style.) I wish to be a bendalloy feruchemist and win every eating contest ever.

EDIT: This post is the 3,000th reply to this topic! The Nightwatcher gives everyone free cake!!! Well... I know this one has already been answered... But I really must live up to my role... The nightwatcher informs you that you already can play any instrument without practicing. Just not very well. She then cackles evilly and takes your left eyebrow as a price for this information. Since I didn't actually technically make a legitimate post in this game I won't wish for anything here.

I wish to be a bendalloy feruchemist and win every eating contest ever. Granted, you have your wish. "Your bane," she says, grinning cruelty, "is............" she get diststracted by a voidbringer and forgets to tell you your bane, leaving you to worry about what it could be for the rest of your life. You also mysteriously become severely allergic to all desserts, candies, and sweets, though you can't connect that and your bane in your head. I wish for the power to give anyone I know any power or ability I can imagine, so long as I am touching them and I state that they have the ability.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Granted. You have this wondrous power, exactly as stated. For your bane, you are made irrevocably mute, and consequentially will have a very hard time stating that they have the ability. I wish for the third heightening.
ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Who said I had to state it verbally? I'll just think louder than normally around them. Granted, you have the third heightening, and I'll even make it so that everyone will be born with breathe ripe for the taking. Your bane is that you can now astrally project your soul, and you always do this when asleep. Good luck finding your body again, also, this gift is genetic, so your children will/do/can have it too. I wish I could create investiture and worldhop to and throughout, the Cosmere and back.

Granted, you can create Investiture... by dying and coming back with an extra Breath. As soon as you come back to life you are killed again and your Breath stolen. This cycle is infinite. Also, granted. You can now worldhop. Your bane is that you become an Incomplete Elantrian, after the first time you are killed and resurrected. Good luck creating investiture now that you can't die, and good luck worldhopping with the never ending pain of a dagger in your heart. I'm a horrible person. My wish is for me to have endless stamina and endurance. Edited October 25, 2016 by Lord_of_Awesome
ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Naw, it's just your imagination! Granted, though you are now absolutely, completely terrified of... breathing. I wish for a well-thought-out bane. Kinda like the last one I got. Edited October 25, 2016 by ShadowLord_Lith
Djarskublar he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Granted. Have some wolfsbane. For your bane, you are now a werewolf. I wish to be Fullborn (without access to use of the powers restricted). 1

I wish human relationships was much more simplistic and not that much complicated. Edited October 26, 2016 by goody153
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 The nightwatcher gives you a funny look for expecting people to be simple, or that she has the power to fulfill a wish of that scope. Then she gives you a signed copy of Words of Radiance and a pat on the back in consolation. As your bane, you always perceive shadows to be going the wrong way, towards the light. I wish I only needed three hours of sleep a day.

I wish I only needed three hours of sleep a day. Done, but now any time you feel your eyes start to droop, you'll fall asleep for three hours. No more, no less, and cannot be woken up for those three hours, but wake feeling completely refreshed. Good luck not feeling tired while on a horse or behind the wheel! I wish that I could write the ideas in my head in a way, and with a talent, that the good ones deserve.
ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 The nightwatcher looks at you with tears eyes. "I grant your wish, oh god of your cosmos." The world then dissolves as all literature equal to or better than your own writing, disappear, leaving yours, the most advanced and worthy writing your ideas can deserve. I wish I was a genie without need of a lamp.

Your bane is that your toilet is in a very popular, 24/7 theme park with people constantly needing to do... The business... You still have a sense of smell. I wish for every game on steam ever, no restrictions to me playing them.
ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Okay, granted. The bane is that you cannot stop playing them for any reason. Even to go to the bathroom or die. Not even for food or water. Enjoy your games! I wish for the ability to enter alternate realities with skill, precision, and ease. Edited October 30, 2016 by ShadowLord_Lith

Alright, but the laws of nature and the physics constants differ for each reality. Good luck with finding one that doesn't instantly kill you. I wish that it was easier for me to concentrate on my tasks.

But now you can't look away or pause a task when you start it, no matter how long it is. Better not be planning to write a whole book.... ^^ I wish for the ability to see a few minutes into the future, the way I would if burning/flaring Atium. Also...

Dayumn, that's a clever boon. But if every literature equal or better to my own is dissapeared, doesn't that mean the Nightwatcher herself is gone as well? o3o

She basically just destroyed a few thousand universes, most of them unknown or currently being written. Anyway, granted, though its effect is planetary for you and it doesn't come with an automatic brain enhancer, so you basically are adding like seven senses to your current, human brain. Your mind becomes overwhelmed with the sheer impossible amount of information that it's receiving and you are stuck frozen in place due to constant overload of your sense of sight. As all of the things your ability would let you see try to cram their way in through your eyes, you fail to actually be capable of making use of this ability. The worst bit, your range is constantly growing so you can't get used to the information being crammed through your eyes. It's like being stuck watching a movie that's getting smaller all the time and playing right on you eyeballs, you can't even see the real world after this goes on for a few months. Thats pretty much a boon/bane in one. I like those. I wish for THE punniest bane someone can come up with related to the words: super, pink, flamingo, or rabies. Take your pick. Edited November 2, 2016 by ShadowLord_Lith Misspelled word
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Granted. Wit sneaks a rabid flamingo into your house and runs away cackling as it ransacks your kitchen. On the bright side, flamingo bites probably can't spread rabies... I wish for THE most spectacular bane someone can come up with related to the words: super, pink, flamingo, or rabies. Take your pick. Edited November 1, 2016 by Drake Marshall
