Vocal all the way for me. Then bring on the karaoke!
Hand-eye coordination please. People are used to me being a klutz so I would have serious takers in any shell game/ three card monte I dealt. I could probably clean up at the casino if I could quickly shift the chips in roulette. I know plenty of magicians who have great patter but lousy legerdemain, so I would like to take them down a peg or two.
Or, you know, failing that, being better at the hand-eye stuff would make me a better nurse, and or possibly encourage me to go into Dentistry. (Which is a whole nother sort of evilness, this should appeal to you Skald…)
This is a toughie. Hand-to-eye coordination would be nice; lord knows I’ve never had any and it would be enjoyable as well as potentially profitable to have it now, even at the age of 54. I’d like to juggle; I’ve always wanted to and never could get the hang of it.
But The Voice of Saruman. To heck with singing; my singing voice is already very good, better than my musical skills allow me to truly take advantage of. My days of being young and good-looking enough to become a pro are long past, if I ever had any such days (obviously, I had the youth, but the looks were never anything to write home about). But the kind of voice that could seep into minds and influence them… That would be a gift worth having! I don’t think I’m sufficiently ambitious to try politics, but even just to be able to influence decisions that affect my ordinary life would be significant.
The voice control, please. And thank you, Skald, Evil Overlord.
But could you tell me why Elena Kagan is working for you in the first place? Because, while I’m not up on current events at all, I hadn’t been under the impression that she was particularly Evil.
Yeah, me too. I don’t need to become wealthy nor famous with my abilities. I would settle for making karaoke my bitch whenever the mood strikes.
mmm
If you said “great singing voice” I’d take it, because I already have pretty good hand/eye coordination. And who wouldn’t want to be able to sing well? But ungodly vocal control isn’t going to do much for me because I have no RANGE.
I’ll take a hand-eye coordination amulet please. I’ve always wanted to amuse myself being a crack shot with a gun. I could sit out on top of starbucks amusing myself shooting holes in people’s latte’s at 500 feet, or to make people stop talking on their cellphone while driving by putting holes in in. William Tell trick? Totally done with a longbow, centered on the apple every time. One of my goals in life is to be cowboy shooter, I would totally kick ass at it.
Of course there’s also the murder for hire, which also pays well. I like juggling too, it’d be nice to be able to juggle more advanced things, like chainsaws on fire n’ shit.
Are these amulets classy and/or unobtrusive? I’d hate to look like a Mr. T reject while wearing it.
I would like vocal control please …
I want to tie up the entire cast of a particular broadway play I saw in its touring phase about 15 years ago and subject them to a solo rendition of the entire ring cycle, with me singing all the parts.
In a continuous loop, until they all go insane.
Kinky. I like the cut of your jib.
This particular touring company of Cats could have been played by alley cats with better vocal results.
I like shiny baubles. Terry Pratchett said something like “Wizards have all the good taste and self restraint of a deranged magpie.” Well, I know what good taste and self restraint ARE, I just don’t usually care to exercise them. So I’m not picky about the looks of the amulet.
I used to have amazing hand-eye coordination, and it’s still way better than average. But my reflexes are not as quick as they used to be. So I need a hand-eye amulet, preferably with Turbo Overdrive reflexes. Oh, and I need an Undetectable Weapon of Smiting of some sort, because there are a lot of people walking around who desperately need an object lesson. Fatal or nonfatal. But there are a lot of people who should be Smitten.
The Kagan-CLONE works for me. The real Elena is in her gilded cage. As for the why, let’s just say that it’ll be important during the next election. I won’t say any more as I don’t want to present Oak or Mr. Excellent with a conflict of interest.
Of course you’d have range. You’d be able to unerringly imitate any voice you had ever heard – bass, baritone, or anything in between.
Unless you mean emotional range. I can’t help you with that.
And besides, who needs THAT?
