Rossamund Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Granted however you are now extremely clumsy and likely to instead of leaving your keys somewhere to drop them while opening the door. The Nightwatcher strongly suggests you replace any glasses with plastic cups. I wish the Nightwatcher granted a wish of their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightwatcher looks at you and her big luminous eyes brim with tears as she says "Thank you, sweet mortal. Thank you." You see she always dreamed of writing poetry, but Cultivation kept her so busy with dispensing boons and banes that she never had time to try. Unfortunately your bane is that you have to listen to her poetry. Here's a sample of one of her Ketek's: Quote I am splintered Divinity The craving soul yearns to be it's own owning its being Yearning soul, craving the divine Splintered—was I? And one of her better free verse poems: Quote Oh infinite Cosmos, how unlike a lavis polyp art thou? In the infinitude of your infinite vastness, wherefore do I, a simple piece of the power of creation, pray, fit in? Hearken to yon larkin, its thirst—never to be quenched May I too—drink deeply of the glowing soul of the universe and I'd like a turkey sandwich too, that sounds really good. Thankfully, your bane is of a limited duration. After a couple of weeks (and about 20 poetry readings) Cultivation steps in and forces the Nightwatcher back to her old job. The Nightwatcher is ok with this because she realizes that if she had continued she would have been Unmade into the 10th Unmade, Die-Groan-Laugh-at-us, the incarnation of Bad Poetry. I wish that hemalurgy could be applied non-terminally and remove more abstract qualities of personality and also remove more mundane conditions of being. For the abstract quality type of hemalurgy, an example would be that you could spike out someone's tendency to complain about the post office, and say use that spike to give that characteristic to your cat. For the mundane condition of being type of hemalurgy, an example would be that you could spike out your tendency to get halitosis, and then give that halitosis to someone else. And since these spikes are non-terminal, they would be great for pranks. Put a hemalurgically charged pin on your teachers chair with the abstract quality of the proclivity to flatulate explosively, and hilarity ensues. Once the pin is removed, the condition is removed as well, no harm done, all in good fun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormblessedSurvivor he/him Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Granted, however, this method is now used on you to remove all your knowledge of Sanderson and the Cosmere. I wish to understand people well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamor she/her Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Granted, but you end up understanding that everyone secretly despises you. I wish for my own logo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ink he/him Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Granted. Your bane is that the spike is quite obvious coming out of your forehead. You set off every metal detector, and people always ask if you know about the five foot spike through your head. You look like a unicorn, though, so that’s fun! I wish for as many fruit snacks as I could ever want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightness Warrior she/her Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Granted. You are now morbidly obese. I wish that there was a way to measure the strength of emotion. (Like, a unit or meter to use.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne he/him in an enby way Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Granted. These are the units, from smallest to largest: Saven Smokestone Bright Sky Voidapple I'll even give you the patents for the terms! Oh, by the way, @Blessing of Potency, @ShadowLord_Lith, @Ashspren, @Arlin, @Apollyon, @Voidus, and every pineapple in the world is quite annoyed that you stole their ship names and patented them. I'm betting some will forgive you, but others might not...(Those pineapples and inactive people. Hard to convince.) I wish for you to be able to use those as units of measurement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make groundbreaking developments in psychology — in fact, they could potentially save lives — but they are not implemented due to their strange units of measure. You are weighed over with an intense guilt for the rest of your life.

goody153 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The nightwatcher smiles to you and thinks "you came all the way here just to wish for a dollar ? Really ?

As the word leaves the Nightwatcher's lips you begin to feel lightheaded, your vision closes in and the world fades to black as you swoon. When you awaken you notice you are in a room next to a wall that stretches 90 feet above you before joining the ceiling. In front of you, you see, very obliquely, what looks to be a 45 foot tall mirror. You attempt to move, but find that the movement of your legs is restricted and you have to resort to a strange see-sawing pivoting motion for locomotion. With a sense of rising dread you hitchingly make your way towards the front face of the mirror. When you behold your reflected visage, both of your eyes pop out and clatter noisily to the floor. Reaching into a compartment in your rear-end you draw out two new eyes that are frozen in an expression of extreme shock and you jam these new eyes into your empty eye sockets as the full horror of your situation dawns upon you. Yep, you're now a sentient awakened Mr. Potato head, and the worst part is that that's not even your bane.Your bane is that you were awakened with the command "Be Don Rickles". I wish I could play the mouth harp during a real live hootenani after drinking some authentic moonshine from a jug and not go blind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted. You do not go blind. However, you go deaf, dumb, lose your sense of smell and taste, and all musical ability. I wish to be bonded to a living Knight Radiant spren that will not die, with enough Stormlight to power Surgebindings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle373 he/him Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Granted, you bond a Radiant spren, however you bond it several years before the events of WoK, and now you have every one's favorite mentally unstable lawman, Nale, after you.

Granted, but the Nightwatcher interprets "sad things" as "plot and character development" and the sad things you're probably thinking about still happen. Spoiler I'm wearing a shirt with Pyrrha's emblem and the words "Do you believe in destiny" on it. SUFFFEEERRRRRRRRR I wish for more Pringles.

Much appreciated. 7 minutes ago, AonEne said: I wish for more Pringles. Normal Pringles, with a bane utterly unrelated to them. The Nightwatcher shrugs. Fine, you get your Pringles. They’re sour cream and ranch flavored (yum) and completely, utterly normal. Your completely unrelated bane is that you are forced to die your hair different colors every day, and I get to choose. MWAHAHAHAHA... you know that I’m terrible with fashion, so good luck with that. ~~~ I beseech the Nightwatcher for a can of root beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
