You are turned into a dragonsteel statue.

I wish for an idea.

[Mushroom Catalog he/him]

Granted, you should rub yourself with curry and prance through the warcamps some building singing Horneater lullabies. (Strangest thing you've ever heard?)

I wish for an Infinity SAV 10 MW magnetic generator. (Those things are cool.)

(Nope, I've heard worse.)

Granted. It explodes 0.0233532869107457813598794171756815681058195681756180598156413 seconds after you get it.

I wish for the One Ring. The One Ring to rule them all. The One Ring to fine them. The one Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Here is the one ring. It is the ring of ... tickets. it allows you to legally fine people any amount of money that you want, no matter who they are. Your Bane is that any money that you put in you pockets disappears and is replaced by counterfeit money.

Granted! Your Boon: the Ring, your Bane: the Dark Lord Sauron, whose Eye is upon you

 

I wish for the ability to see people's "stats"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

You can now have tell instantly what statistics classes every person has taken in their lifetime.

As a consolation, the Nightwatcher gives you the ability to think of infinite palindromes.

I wish for a perfect note.

[+Ark1002]

Granted. You get a perfect white notecard, so shiny and perfect you go blind.

Your bane is that your profile picture changes back to black and orange.

 

I wish for happiness. 

[Honorless he/him]

There goes my plans for acquiring & putting to use a Death Note (because there's no way I'm getting the Eyes of Shinigami in exchange for part of my lifespan!)

Granted. You are so supercharged with happiness that you end up being confined in a psychiatric hospital for being manic.

Granted. Dalinar is a... General. Your bane is that you now cannot learn anything new about any creation of Brandon Sanderson.

I wish for a Sith Fleet that follows me around and is loyal to me.

Granted. A fleet appears behind you and starts following you, and in their loyalty they're always behind you, whether you're trying to conquer the galaxy or using the bathroom, they will be there.

I wish to recover twice the normal amount of energy per hour while sleeping.

Gee, I hope I can board the ships...

Granted. Your bane is that you now sleep twice as much each day. Goodluck on your 8 hours of hyper energy each day!

I wish for the ability to finish my reading list in this lifetime.

Granted, you become immortal. Literally nothing can kill you as long as you have a book you want to read. Your bane is that anytime you try to read, various objects fall out of the sky onto your head and spill food and sauce onto your book.

I wish for a good book that I don't already have. (Basically anything besides Sanderson books because I got all those.)

The Nightwatcher beckons you to state your taste, genres, other fav books for comparison so she may make good recommendations

Things somewhat similar to Sanderson. I really liked Name of the Wind series by Rothfuss, the Brandon Mull serieses (Fablehaven, Beyonders, etc.), those sort of things. I also really like sci-fi space opera, (theoretically Mistborn era 4) like the Expanse (written by somebody).

I would suggest N K Jemisin, Guy Gavriel Kay & China Miéville as some less often cited authors when asked for fantasy authors similar to Sanderson. Also definitely read put Philip Pullman if you haven't yet.

Have you read the classics of sci-fi such as Asimov or Dune or Dragon's Egg? Put them on your list immediately if you haven't.

You could also broaden your horizons and go for some content that is available for free. Web fictions like Ra and Grand Design are really good and really similar in style to Sanderson. The latter has humanity in the role of the mystical ancient advanced aliens and dogs as a space-faring race. As for Ra, well that one is best left unspoiled. You can read Ra here: https://qntm.org/ra and Grand Design here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21216/grand-design

Your bane is an unquenchable thirst for more novels, now go

 

I wish for a briefcase full of million dollars in cash and nothing else in it

The Questioner thanks the Nightwatcher for the generous bane, then leaves to go attempt to quench his thirst for novels.

Granted, you are granted a briefcase filled with a million dollars. You must quest for it though. The briefcase is in the Cash, which is a country's name. It is also an acronym for Crazy Awesome Serial Hemalurgists.

(Read your Bane after the completion of your quest for the briefcase)

Spoiler

Your bane is that you will gain a permanent Atium effect upon completion of your quest, whether by death or by finding the briefcase, and all the Hemalurgists will know about it

 

I wish for Allomantic Cadmium.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Granted, but you have to burn it permanently in order to survive.

I wish for the feeling of a nice, warm, semi-hot shower to be with me permanently, despite other factors such as temperature, exercise, or how many layers of clothing I am wearing.

[Mushroom Catalog he/him]

The Nightwatcher looks at you with surprise. She had been expecting another wack wish, but this wack wish was actually genius. That would feel great.

Granted, but anybody who touches you, on purpose or on accident, gets the part touching you wet. Brush against your shoulder? Gets wet. Hugs? Doused down the front. Even through your clothes.

I wish I could communicate telepathically with anybody of my choice, and as many people as I want, from any distance, with no repercussions for me or the person I chose.

Granted, you can now communicate telepathically with anybody of your choice, and as many people as you want, from any distance, with no repercussions for you or the person you chose. This telepathic connection however uses other people's brains as "amplifiers" to hop to the person you want to have a telepathic conversation with, often damaging the neurons of the people acting as the "bridge", outright putting them in a coma or even rendering them brain dead

 

I wish for the ability to always be fresh, physically and mentally
