It’s easy; people have played it here before. Take the wish of the poster above you and corrupt it. I wish I could turn invisible on command. ---

You never mentioned anything about _stopping_. I wish I more cheery. ---

You now don the uniform of a high school cheerleader-and are transported to the glee section of your most hated rival. I wish for a tuna-fish salad sandwich. ---

You can fly, and it is glorious. But your hips and ankles are not well-made for landing, and each time you do they wear out a little. You will not know this until you are 55 years old and facing a long painful retirement. I wish I could run away and live a life of wealth and refinement. ---
