Granted! You get a puppy and a life threatening allergy to dogs. Don't worry, you can take a daily shot for your allergy and your puppy is adorable, but he eats all of your shoes.

Surprisingly close to reality here, I have 2 puppies (one’s my profile banner), a very very mild allergy to dogs, and no remaining flip flops.

I wish that I had some firecrackers for the 4th of July.

Granted, a box of firecrackers appears in front of you. However, you are cursed that every match or sparkler or anything similar that you ever use will be a dud. 

I wish for some cranberry sprite.

[18th Shard he/him]

Granted. You, however, are now deathly allergic to it.

I wish for my bane to undo my wish.

The Nightwatcher looks very confused as she chases her own tail.  Cultivation steps in from the periphery and strokes the Nightwatcher's head, and turns to you and says granted.

You find yourself transported back in time a week before you made your journey to the Valley with your head planted 12 inches deep in the soil. Your bane, that you are a human sunflower before you made your wish has in fact undone your wish.

I wish for a tastey sweet that I've never had before.

A weird looking pastry appears in front of you, and you consume it happily. Suddenly you fall to the floor, clutching your chest. The Nightwatcher smiles at you and says, “Thank you for canonizing the fact that I can use time travel for my banes.”

I wish for this game to be less fun because I think I’m mildly obsessed.

[Mist she/her]

Granted? The other forum games are now 1.5 times as fun.

I wish for a fuzzy blanket.

Granted. A million wooly bear caterpillars appear above you, and soon you find yourself blanketed by the fuzzy adorable little guys. Your bane is that you are now allergic to metal.

Spoiler

I wish for something unusual.

[Kings_way he/they]

The nightwatcher hands you a book by Brandon Sanderson that isn't amazing.

I wish for a working replica of Iron man's suit.

Does that mean I have to read Elantris again?

Granted! The item you seek actually exists, and can in fact be purchased on earth, but the Nightwatcher hands you a mint condition unopened box with this inside:

Spoiler

Check out how you can unbutton his suit and move his tie, it's a totally working suit

Your bane is that you smell like one of those little tree air fresheners, the NightWatcher's not totally evil, so you get to pick between Bayside Breeze, Leather, New Car Scent, and Carribean Colada.

I wish for a technicolor dream coat.

[Enter a username]

Granted. Your brothers tear it up and sell you into slavery.

I wish for that bane to be removed from existence so that it never actually happened to hoiditthroughthegrapevine or anyone else (except for that one incident a couple thousand years ago).

[Kings_way he/they]

Granted. As a totally unrelated bane, you now sweat mud.

I wish to be a bendalloy misting and have an infinite amount of bendalloy.

Edited July 6, 2020 by Kings_way

[Mist she/her]

Granted. The world is now covered in bendalloy, and so are you. 

I wish for a sweet sleeping cat.

[Shard of Reading he/him]

Granted but you are super allergic to cats. (Feel my pain)

I wish for a nice dog.

[+Doomstick he/him]

Granted, photography and photos make you nauseous 

I wish for a tasty plum with a good texture

Edited July 6, 2020 by The Last Post

[Kings_way he/they]

Granted. It is poisoned.

I wish for Brandon Sanderson to become a bendalloy misting so he can write books faster. (At least for us)

[Mist she/her]

Granted. You read books 3x slower. 

I wish for snow.

[+Doomstick he/him]

Granted. Your bane is that the world spins every 5 375.218 of your heartbeats

i wish for an antidote for that poison

[Shard of Reading he/him]

He would also sometimes store things without permission. (That's where things go that you should be able to find, but just can't seem to be able to find.)

AUGH! Darn! Thank's for telling me @AonEne

[AonEne he/him]

No worries

Granted. The antidote has the taste, texture, and consistency of dirt. Because the antidote is dirt!

I wish for some dirt.

[Mist she/her]

Granted. It's a bit more than you can hold, so it gets on the ground.

I wish for a deck of cards.

Granted. Man, that was a good plum. Firm, perfectly ripe, sweet, delicious, and bursting with juice.

Your bane is that you have inverse invisibility. Anything that touches your skin becomes completely invisible. It's OK though, you've figured out how to dress using barrels and suspenders, though It does make it harder going to church. You have also found another hack, clothes wrapped in aluminum foil don't become invisible. Thank Adonalsium for the miracle of magic defying aluminum.

*Edit, granted the wrong boon*

@Mist

I wish for a deck of cards

Granted. They're really nice. They have incredibly beautiful photographs of the dawn cities, and the design of the deck is exquisite. Each card is ivory tinted, lacquered and beautiful in and of itself. Your bane is that you have more hair on your knees and elbows than on your head.

 

I wish I had the strength of the bear and the vision of the eagle.

You could still wrap your Sunday finest in aluminum foil, and I think you would just be eccentric.

Granted. You are now visibly part animal. 

I wish for a cardboard box.
