Discussion What kind of minor magical ability would you want if you could have any?

[OrcWitch]

I would choose the ability to conjure any outfit out of the nether. I would not keep clothes in my home anymore or ever do laundry again. I would have a new clothes everyday.

 

[Huntfish34]

Interesting,. And cool question... I'll have to think about it for a bit, not quite sure.

 

[SleepDealer]

I love that idea. Usually my answer to any "what magical power would you have?" question is shapeshifting, but I'm not sure if that's minor enough.
I think a truly minor ability I'd enjoy is one that lets me hover and move across any surface. I'd float around, walk on walls, the works.

Like Bayonetta! :-)

Being able to heal my entire body (just once) and thus use both my legs normally...
Or teleportation would be cool too!

That actually sounds quite similar to what I would do, teleportation would be pretty awesome too! My legs aren't broken perse but they are just nearly always so painful. Particularly in the knees and hips :-( When I have the occasional better days, I do more and then end up in agony on an evening. So I think I can appreciate how life changing such a magical power can be. I hope at least one of us achieves it one day! Perhaps I would add the ability to fix other people's legs etc as often as needed :-)

 

[FuneralCry]

The ability to make myself fall asleep at any moment of my choosing.

 

[motel rooms]

Minor magical ability? I'd like to be able to make my bf like himself as much as I like him every time I look at him or think of him

 

[greebo6]

invisibility

 

[AntHydra]

I would like to be able to turn back time. Even just once, I don't need more. Then I could make sure that things don't go as they did. I could make sure things are actually good.
But if that is too major... hmm, let me think...
The ability to toggle subtitles on people's actual speech. Would mitigate my hearing problems and also help learn more languages!

 

[Snake of Eden]

I would like the ability to put people on mute as I wish

 

[MeltedJello]

I always wished I could read people's minds. It would definitely help me to communicate with others if I wanted.

 

[clown_17]

To have a little indicator over someone's head telling you what they're trying to say or what they think or feel. Even if I can only use it once a day or something, it get rid of so many misunderstandings

 

[Midgardsorm]

Summon Spells.

I could summon a giant bird to fly me anywhere.
A powerful spirit to fight alongside me.
A monkey helper to assist me with daily activities

More importantly, anyone to make me company.

 

[Kennish]

I would have the ability to remove my OCD from my thoughts. Just need that ability once. And it would never come back.

 

[lofticries]

I wish I could talk to animals. I wouldn't mind becoming a crazy loner cat lady then.

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

Troll answer: I'd like to have the ability to painlessly die from eating a single peanut.
Real answer:

Being able to heal my entire body (just once)...

This.

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

Being able to detect when people are wrong/lying. To me it's minor since I'll mostly use it to not have people scare me by making a bunch of plausible but unrealistic claims with great confidence.

That's a really great one! It would solve a lot of insecurities too, I think.

 

[BottomlessPit]

Using teleportation to visit foreign planets in the universe, especially those with life on them.
Being able to lucid dream on command.
Being able to permanently delete certain memories.

But the most important one: having the ability to kill myself instantly just by intending to do so, no extra method required.
