| 1 | So. Let's assume you are offered one of the following three powersets: | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | A. You can read anyone’s mind, but only while in direct physical contact with a part of their body while that person is sexually aroused. If there is something such as gloves, clothes, something like a bunch of mud covering their entire arm, or even just a bit of air between you two, it won’t work. Note that with this powerset, you can utilize your brain at its full capacity and access all of your knowledge, so long as you are sexually aroused and (semi-)actively choose to do so. | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | B. You can eat and digest gold and/or gemstones as though they were perfectly safe, normal, healthy foods and at any temperature that isn’t so cold for “normal” food that eating it would be unpleasant, including abnormally hot temperature. And to you, they are healthy. You will, of course, have them be able to come out the “other side” although possibly tainted by other bodily waste, in molten or heated form, but they will be otherwise edible. | |
| 6 | Not entirely intact however, as your digestive process will destroy at least SOME of the digested jewels/gold; This power does not allow you to sustain yourself on your own waste. Also, as long as you are bloated on nothing but gold and/or gems, you can breathe fire, & fly by flapping your arms. Doing either or both of those will lessen the satedness of your hunger though, meaning you can become hungry by doing them, and thus, temporarily unable to do them. | |

| 8 | - | C. You have an “easy mode” button for life accessed mentally. You need only to will it on or off, and it will be so. While it’s on, everything is far, far easier to do. You aren’t guaranteed success, but you’re far more able to achieve it. The catch is that you’re effectively a massive dormat while easy mode is on, and are subject to the wills and whims of others. Someone wants a favor? You’ll help them. Friend wants to piggy-back you naked through the city while you scream indignities and ask for people to throw shoes at you? Yep. Local serial rapist decides he wants a hot chick just before seeing you in an alley? Suddenly you’re his hot babe, ready to be raped/sexed, like it or not. Note that, you cannot break the laws of reality by your own will, nor while anyone would notice and it would be difficult or impossible to deny the impossibility of what just happened. You can’t spontaneously just turn into a dragon in the middle of the city where everyone can see you, even if your friend does want an IRL riding dragon mount. In the event that easy mode causes a paradox (Ex: Someone wants you to not take any instructions from them.), it shuts off till the paradox is no longer present or no longer an issue. Changes made in easy mode are nonpermanent; Once easy mode is turned off, those changes are reverted. For example, go to a course normally too advanced for you in easy mode, finish it, and then turn back, you'll suddenly have trouble understanding that too-advanced-for-you course. Note that you also turn off easy mode if it would cause an obvious, impossible thing to happen, and there would be witnesses. |

Changes made in easy mode are nonpermanent; Once easy mode is turned off, those changes are reverted. As an alternative to having changes to you and/or your ability removed, you may keep those abilities (Ex: Better physique.) but you cannot entirely complete the accomplishments you sought with them. You can't hit the peak physique, nor reach the highest position in your new job. But of course, the "ultimate" may not be what you want. As an example of how the change reversion works, say you go to a course normally too advanced for you in easy mode, finish it, and then turn back, you'll suddenly have trouble understanding that too-advanced-for-you course. Note that you also turn off easy mode if it would cause an obvious, impossible thing to happen, and there would be witnesses. |
