why shouldn’t I be the supreme arbiter of who gets access to magical power? many have attempted to answer this question

Could you grant yourself or others specific abilities, or only the basic package?
I wouldn’t do shapeshifting because I feel like i’d lose some part of myself by not having a “true” appearance
i’d just make some way for me to help other people while not removing ALL inherent suffering from my life or the life of others because then it would be meaningless

usually i do it differently every time, coming up with magical abilities as a worldbuilding excercise is how i get to sleep

huh
so it varies, but usually the abilities i grant are innately linked to the soul of the person i’m giving 'em too, but i have a little leeway

if we’re limited to “something superheroes would have”
and i’m going purely “this would be cool superpower” and not “what are the ethical implications of this because realistically a superpower gives you the power to effect the world in such an insanely positive or negative way”
i’d probably go like teleportation or omnilingualism

omnilingualism would be super cool because I could go basically anywhere I want and experience the world without the barrier of language and could just travel and do awesome shit

Shapeshifitng skill would probably take time, you could just wish to look the way you want too

yeah but litten what happens when you are able to ask for anything you want and the chaos and randomness of the universe is lost and you can no longer truly experience love, joy, happiness, pain, and relief? What happens when your life is a walking trolly problem and you are forced to either solve every problem or live knowing that everyone alive who is suffering is suffering because you and you alone didn’t stop it??? When nothing feels real because you are under the control of the universe, and you lose the ability to truly connect to anybody? When you can generate a million of the most loyal friends and followers and yet will be more unconditionally alone than any being past present or future???

a truly evil genie wouldn’t restrict his subject’s wishes . he would allow the subject to have whatever they want. the fate of a human god is the worst conceivable
