    Would you exchange one of your [multiple] senses in return for a supernatural ability?

    An example would be exchanging your sense of touch and you can no longer feel, but you can now alter [via transmutation, decay, phase-shift, etc.] everything you touch. Another would be losing your sense of functioning arms, and in return you can interact with objects or people beyond your lifeless arms reach within an eye's distance. Lose your sense of hearing, and you can hear every single thought of any creature [living or dead] if you will it. Gone is your sense of sight, and all seeing information [of anything] is what your eyes shall reflect.

    How the exchange returns vary from one person to another's psyche, but the exchange is fair and absolute.

    GOLDEN TIME
    Person A exchanges A's ability to move [physically/mentally] for any amount of time in return for [physical/spiritually] invulnerability within that span of time. Nothing shall conveniently move A and nothing shall ever harm A [existentially/timely].

    My senses are already shit.
    • Sight: nearsighted
    • Touch: can't differentiate cold & damp
    • Hear: often misheard things
    • Smell: often clogged (allergy, not sure what kind of allergy)
    • Taste: idk the difference between chicken, beef & pig meat
    ..actually some sort of "appraisal" power might be a good replacement for touch..

    Can I give up my non-existent sense for social cues and trade it for the "Pancosmic Aloner" ability? No need OPness, just needs to be left out once in a while.

    Hmm... though I'm not sure you can sense memories. Hell, why not!
    You can't exchange what's not there.

    Exchange my sense of temperature to be resistant to temperature changes. No sweating in summer and no colds in winter. Perfect.

    Then I definitely cannot exchange my penis length for anything then.

    How about exchanging my sense of time for the ability to change the time flow of inanimate objects? Fast forward or slow, no pause, no reverse. As to how to keep track of time is pretty much sticking a clock into my retinas.

    Sense of [Time] exchanged for [Time] Control, Type [Object].
    Time Control [->] will cause your sense of [time] to accelerate as the control continues on [object].
    Time Control [-] will cause your sense of [time] to decelerate as the control continues on [object].
    Time Control [<-] will cause your sense of [time] to reverse as the control continues on [object].
    Time Control [X] will cause your sense of [time] to stop as the control continues on [object].

    TC [->]: Using the ability will quicken your body's activity.
    TC [-]: Using the ability will slow your body's activity.
    TC [<-]: Using the ability will reverse your body's activity.
    TC [X]: Using the ability will stop your body's activity.

    If your exchange is used properly, it will technically allow immortality indirectly to a certain degree, but you will still die if the wound if fatally instant, or the cause of death involves causality or your soul (mind). You can even affect the durability or chemical state of any inanimate object. Spamming the ability will surely grant you additional time, but be wary, one wrong move, you will lose your bodily functions or die of old age or coma.

    Dude, in Man on top of Food chain BY BEAR WOLF DOG, there is a villain with the ability initially with bullet time, body and perception speed up and "as though the world slows down". Then the skill further evovled to a BS proportion as wounds or statuses including hunger "slows down" for the said villain, as in the total damage done by said wounds or statuses got "stretched" over a period of time, a knife wound that will hurt one for an hour got stretched to a year, and math (fuck it) dictates that the damage got divided by 8760 times, making it conpletely reduced.

    There is also Khonsu from Worm, one of the endbringers that can fuck with time. Overheal himself by rapidly speed up his own time, as he is immortal (not carbon based).

    No no no... butt related skills only.

    For example, I trade my sense to relieve (as in shit and piss) myself with the ability to summon my feces and urine and shoot them like projectiles.

    There goes my supper appetite.
