Discussion What magic will you steal?

Thanks for clarifying. Now I understand. How about body and mind possession?

 

Oh. We have one available that only possesses the body.
You'd have to fight for control over the body with the original host with this variant.
Do you want it regardless?

 

I'm not sure. How hard is it to control a baby? How about fighting a small child for control?

 

Possessing a baby? You... do you wish to abandon your current body then? ...well, I suppose it won't matter though.
Alright. Granted.

 

My plan worked! Now that I have the ability to possess bodies, I can go hunt down the person who was snatching bodies in the first place!

 

Which is you? Cause there is not going to be any evidence to track this down unless it's magical. Also what happens to the body's original owner once a soul/mind's body gets stolen?

 

I'm myself, of course. Tracking down a body snatcher requires a lot of tricks and clever mind games, and creates a time limit as well. The best I can do is consult with detectives and private investigators, since I'm not really good at finding criminals. As for my ability, it allows me to invade and fight for control of another's body, which is not as easy as it sounds. Lots of pushing and pulling involved.

 

I would ask for Quasi-Omnipotence.

 

But what if the body snatcher used the ability as a trump card? Like in how Darth Bane used it against Zanna but lost. Or like how Darth Sidious tried using it to possess a baby. Or even how Darth Andeddu uses it to try and steal the body who want the knowledge in how to use Essence Transfer from his Sith Holocron.

 

Elaborate what that means.

 

It means since I know you are gonna say omnipotence is not an ability that exists, I'm asking god to make it as close to omnipotence as possible. So if omnipotence is a skill, then I want that. If not, then I'd get as close replication of it as possible. Which would mean things like:
1) Expansion of my ability to hold knowledge
2) Transfer of as much of gods knowledge as possible
3) Ability to process that information as quickly as possible
4) Future vision
5) Clairvoyance
and etc.

Effectively, if omnipotence doesn't exist, god would break it down into skills that would effectively bring me as close to omnipotence as possible.

So even if I don't know everything, I'd be able to with 99.99% accuracy know everything through collection of knowledge and skills.

 

Then I would need to get help from other powerful individuals. I highly doubt I could defeat supervillains alone.

 

Quasi-omnipotence is pretty much the same as "getting access to the Akashic records" then, which is not viable.
So I guess this means you want "Perfect Memory"?

Hm... I am really curious how your run will play out now.

 

Access to the akashic records would be omnipotence. Quasi-ominpotence can also be access to it but it can also be not.

Perfect memory is 1 aspect of quasi omnipotence. You said I can't get access to the record, that its fine, but I don't exactly need LIVE access. All I need is perfect memory plus god giving me a snapshot. Then abilities to fill in the blanks, that can be things like information processing, clairvoyance, future visions, past vision and etc.

To put it simple, if you can't give me a house. Give me the materials, the architects and the carpenters to build one myself.

 

The problem is that I can't give you all materials; only one.

 

Then it'll be as close as possible to only 1 ability, which would be perfect memory and all of gods knowledge (this isn't an ability, simply knowledge) and that would be closest to quasi-omnipotence.

 

so we can't be too greedy?

then just make me smarter
that, or be able to communicate, read, and write in all languages

third choice would be to be taller

 

It all depends on how you use it. Besides, im fucking great, ill just be friends with the mc given my amazing personality



Being a cult leader sounds like fun anyways

 

Hm... I'm gonna be mean. Since you said that god's knowledge isn't an ability, He/She doesn't need to give it to you.

You've been granted the ability of having a perfect memory.

Memory speed enhancement then? Alright. Granted.

 

So.... @Zone Q11 what is this all about anyways? It's like you're trying to start a new.... shall we say... RP? Or at least the thoughts of one. Cause there are 5 Skill Slots.... are they permanent abilities for nearly everyone but for 'Skill Hunters' they throw away skills they don't want and for 'Skill Combiners' they can combine certain skills they have in their slots to attain a synergized skill. And there are stats, but how many stats are there?
