You can only control the minds of absolute morons, so people with even an inch of common sense are completely immune.

Every time you speak, you run the risk of accidentally using the Thu'um, and you have a level of mastery equalling the Greybeards. Or, in simple terms: it's near impossible for you to speak, lest you annihilate anything and everything around you as a side-affect.

The stress of such a power would take a heavy toll on your body. Also beware getting saltwater in your mouth. And should we add a dose of Super Drowning Skills?

The ability to control a Fighting Spirit/Guardian Entity.

Any time you are injured and regenerate, you risk your regeneration going out of control and turning your body into a mass of random, tumorous growths.

Pestilence Manipulation.

"Control" becomes more like "break any existing window pane within arm's length".

Induce spontaneous death in others.

Timers to measure time, thermometers to measure thermomets, mometers to measure mom, and measuring containers to measure measurements.

You can induce people to spontaneously die, but because nobody actually has the ability to spontaneously drop dead, it doesn't actually achieve anything.

I wish I could completely block the transfer of energy via conduction.

Congratulations! You’re not immune to the energies you’re attempting to handle. While you can conduct them, you’re also heavily effected by them!

When you possess someone elses body there is a risk that your victim can possess your body, this risk increases the longer you are possessing their body.

Reality warping (aka the best power you could get.)

Well, you can’t really control it. Worse, due to your limited understanding of reality, it’s hard to comprehend, and reality is easy to break.

The power to bring fictional characters to life!

Granted. But merely thinking of the character is enough to bring them to life, so you soon bring to life an unstoppable villain.

I want the power to mind control anyone I know exists.

I missed the part where that's my problem.

Okay, but there are people you don't know exist that have the power to control your mind.

I want the power to change the personality... for the better... of one person per day, without anyone else having that same power over me, or the people whose personalities I've previously changed.

Granted, its caused by you subconsciously sucking the intelligence out of everyone around you, and no even when your family is slowly reduced to babbling children without memory or ability to fend for themselves, walk, or speak You cannot turn it off.


The ability to summon creatures from mythology to fight for me.

I love rezzing threads =)

oh the irony

they cannot be unsummoned, are always aggressive, and as per your specifications, will always fight for you, i.e. use the most violent and bloody methods to obtain your subconscious desires with lethal force regardless of how mundane said desires actually are

man this exam really sucks - bam manticore eats your teacher and the rest of the school and is now there forever to ravage the neighbourhood completely out of your control
