1. The power to heal(anything).
That ought to do.

3. Absolute Charm.
I would turn on my magical charisma and anyone I meet would want to please me. I'd make the politicians in Washington forget their political parties except for two months prior to election day; the rest of the time they'd be Americans and do what in their best judgment is best for America - instead of what's in their party's interests.

If indeed I had such a power I expect I'd probably use it to get girls, too, so it's probably best I don't have it.

6. The "walking on water" thing was pretty cool.
Unfortunately I can't do that anymore, since I got those holes in my feet :(

7. I'd have to power to be completely undetectable.
Not just invisible but utterly undetectable, as would anything I would be holding like a camera, voice recorder or important papers that might suddenly get misplaced. I would wreak some havoc in the corner offices of Halliburton and Fox News, not to mention the things I would dig up in various Republican politicians' offices.

Oh, there would be some powerful people going down if I had that magical power.

9. Ability to freeze time for as long as I wanted
and not age when I do.

I'd like to say I'd do something constructive, but I suspect I'd go on an epic crime spree and watch a lot of DVDs.

10. Another Other: Portals
Little holes in SpaceTime, from here to anywhere/anywhen real or imaginary.

Visit the fountain of youth and tour the hanging gardens of Babylon with Nefertiti. All thanks to a quietly purloined babelfish or two.

11. Either Manifestation or full Shape-Change.
"Shapeshift" isn't enough as it only applies to you. "Shape-Change" applies to everything :D

"Manifestation" can also be called "Materialization" or "Matter Creation".

Then again, I'd rather just have Jeannie :evilgrin:
