Granted. The nightwatcher informs you that technically he never had to, even if there was some pressure on him to do so.

Your bane is that for the rest of your life you speak with a Herdazian accent and wording. As you live on earth, people are always curious to know from what place the accent comes from, and are confused when you tell them it comes from a place that isn't actually real.

I wish for a complete copy of The Way of Kings, and by that I mean the one by Nohadon, not the one by Sanderson. Oh and in English lettering please, I don't want to decipher Alethi writing.

Granted but the book text has some kind of magic where you have to become one of Odium's voidbringers in order to read it else it will just look like a book with blank content.

I wish we'd see a Harmony vs Odium showmatch in some Sanderson novel.

So I can become a voidbringer philosopher? Interesting.

Anyway... Granted. RAFO. Your bane is that you can only hear out of your left ear now.

I wish for an interesting boon.

[DarkJester]

Granted! You gain all the lost wisdom of the ages. All the great ideas that have been thought of and forgotten before they could be put into use. The secrets to creating such things as Greek fire. The knowledge to interpret every written language lost to time. All these understandings have now become yours. However... You have now lost the ability to communicate with anyone in any way whatsoever. 

 

I wish for the powers of Calamity.

[Djarskublar he/him]

Granted, but while experimenting with the power, you accidentally make a family member into an epic, and they summarily kill all your family and friends... That's not even the curse, just you getting what you wished for. Your curse is that your voice is permanently really LOUD. Earthshakinly so, to proclaim the calamity about to be among men.

I wish for a consistent, healthy amount of sleep (healthy as in no African Sleeping Sickness shenanigans please).

[Elenion he/him]

Granted; you always get the perfect amount of sleep. Your bane is that you have a constant headache.

I wish to never become sick.

[Turbonator]

Granted. Your consciousness is transferred to a very faulty robot.

I wish for Lift to be spiked with the ability to use bendalloyminds in one of the SA books.

[Dani she/her]

So shall be. But you'd never get to read that book.

I wish I could meet Brandon Sanderson whenever I wanted.

Granted but everytime you summon him Mr. Sanderson will not be able to discuss with any Cosmere or anything related to his novels.

I wish i had all the time in the world to try out all stuff.

You are never to be plagued by illness again, but everyone around you always seems to feel severely nauseous.

 

I wish I had the ability to see perfectly.

[DarkJester]

Granted! You now have hawk like vision, however you smell bad. Interpret that however you like. 

 

I wish for the ability to turn any books I wanted into movies that were true to their textual counterparts. Ones that may take 6-12 hours to sit through but would be true to their stories, line for line.

 

 

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Hm... Granted. The nightwatcher gives you what she feels you deserve. You are given a stack of blank DVDs, a high quality video camera, and the latest macbook with video editing software installed. As your bane, whenever you see a plant, it looks like it is dead to you. You could be looking at a nice garden and you will see a field full of dead grass and shriveled bushes.

I wish to know the name of the wind.

[Turbonator]

Granted. You also get poisoned by plum bob. (I wonder if this reference will get me any upvotes... and it seems it did. Excellent.)

I wish for the ability to burn bendalloy, and for an unlimited supply of it. And I want to be able to actually use that bendalloy, so that no curses can nullify the boon.

The Nightwatcher says, "Yeah, right." 

You can now burn Cadmium. On Fridays only. And only on the sixth minute of every hour.

I wish for upvotes! Beautiful upvotes! HAHAHAHAHA

[Magestar he/him]

Done.  You get two upvotes.

The night watcher removes your ability to say anything noteworthy.  (Times like this I wish for an Evil Grin emoji. -sigh-)

I wish for 1 two ton tomato, with it's size corresponding to it's weight, on my front lawn, with seeds.

You get one, but it spontaneously turns into a peach and rolls down the countryside.

Oh, Nightwatcher, greatest of thegreat watchers of the night, can I be Nighthound? It'll be funny, I promise.

No. (You didn't say that was what you wished for. Mwahaha.)

I wish for a farm in which I grow giant (organic) tomatoes that make me rich. Who needs genetically engineered food when you have magic?

 

[hoidhunter he/him]

granted..eating one of your tomatoes turns (not whoever eats them) but YOU...into Rich Valens...minus the musical talent. Your farm is also located outside of Crabtree Arkansas...you get to decide which one is the bane...

I wish for the ability to make uniformed people fart on command.

 

 

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. You have this power. And I'll even let them not realize you were the one who did it when you use this power. As your bane, for the rest of your life you have a feeling in the back of your mind that you are forgetting something.

I wish for a towel. It is, after all, one of the most massively useful things...

Sure, but that towel is always soaking wet, you never get to use it properly 

I wish I was better at basketball

Your wish is granted, but for every bit better you get at basketball, you get worse in academia.

I wish to befriend and be always able to see/touch/pet all the cats whenever I wish. (yes, all the cats)

What makes you think that a towel is only useful for drying yourself off?

You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Drying oneself off is a minor function.

But if it's wet, it would be pretty much useless (no warmth), not to mention heavy XD

Your wish is granted, but for every cat you befriend you behave more like one, but your intelligence does not drop. Only your behaviour becomes more and more catlike until you start greeting strangers by meowing and pushing your head against their faces.  

I wish for a pair of emerald broams.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Granted. In exchange, you hear everything with a faint echo.

I wish for three emerald broams.

Wit torments you for an hour. He gives you the Browns as recompense, but you're too busy theorizing to take them.

I wish to have a Ponified Brandon Sandwhich Dinosaur Stickmobile Transformer.
