The power to become instantly Badass in anyone's eyes.

You also experience your own actions five seconds early, so practically all you did was to skip five seconds of your life.

The ability to stop time around you while you take a nap.

Your nap becomes frozen in time too, meaning you never progress through it and thus never wake up, leaving all of time frozen around you forever.

That or you aren't frozen in time, but suffocate to death because the oxygen atoms around you are frozen.

The power to safely digest any substance.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

You can only do it when nobody is looking, not even yourself, for seeing it would break their perception of reality.

Granted. You can shoot lines of code and pixels now, or whatever power. They're just a dull light, however, so they don't do much.

The power to not forget to put a power in this thread when posting. Please grant me that.

First of all, you are actually slowing down time itself, rather than your own perception of time. A second takes longer, but it takes longer for everyone, not just you. Second of all, you can merely slow down time, not speed it back up again. Every time you use your power, you bring the universe closer to destructive stasis.

The power to explain anything such that anyone who hears you understands what you are talking about.

You live in a setting without superheroes, so you can't ruin anyone's powers.

Forced rapid grows will cause tremendous stress on your bones and muscles. Shrinking on the other hand makes you lose parts of your body, which you won't get back when you regrow such as neurons. You end up sickly, mentally handicapped and in harsh pain if not dead pretty quickly.

Power to only have enjoyable and safe things happening to oneself.
