If you could have one magic power, what would it be?

A lot of people say they wish they could be invisible. And at some points in my life, I wish I could be invisible too. Like the time, I forgot my homework and school books at home and the teacher got mad at me. But, mostly, if I could have a magic power, then it would be to discern the truth. If I could see past the smoke screen that some people put up, then it would be easier to know whether or not they were lying or really my friend. So, which magic power do you wish you had?

Mmmm I'm a regreful person and most of the time I do things the first time I think of it and not think twice and in the end most of my decsion I regret it. So if I will be given a power I think I want the power of turning back time. I think for us people regret is the hardest since regretting things are one way of penance and we regret things that cannot be brought back. So if I have the power of turning back time we can correct and create a more positive result.

If you made a right choice, or a wrong one you shouldn't regret it. I've done and said things that have hurt peoples feeling or worse, and I've had a lot of bad things happen to me. I wouldn't go back and change a single one though. For every hurt feeling that you've caused it'll be one more thing that you won't do later. You'll always remember how you made the last person feel and you'll become a better person for it. Some of the things that happen to me I wish I could forget, well, until it comes up with someone else and I can tell them that I trully know how they feel. And when I tell them that it WILL get better they'll know that I'm not blowing smoke up there you know what. So don't regret things, just make ammends now and let your past make you a better person in the future.

I think I would like the power to heal, not as a profession but just to go to people and heal them, put my hand on them and heal, no charge, maybe even heal the world...

I want to have the ability to fly. Therefore, I can go anywhere I like because I have some friends to see. Besides, I love traveling and if I can fly, then I can travel all over the world. This world is so beautiful and I love to see all parts of it.

Hello there. If I can be blessed with a power, I would want the gift to heal all pains, diseases and illnesses. Recently, i have a friend who just fell sick. It's painful to see my friend suffering. How I wish I can have the power to heal her.

If i have magic powers, i will wanna be invisible too. Can avoid the people i dun wanna see and only appearing in front of those whom i wanna see. And hope that i being invisble can help people to see their own inconsiderate behaviour, hoping they will learn from there..

I would love to have the power to control the "time" itself. Its the greatest thing on this earth to control. I can go back to past any time look at my future any time. I would mostly love to go bakc to my past rather than looking the future(as lifes adventure get ruined by knowing the future) in past I ca chnage my mistakes any time. :)

If i could have a power I would like to have the power to stop time. I want to be the only one who is moving for a few minutes. In that way... I can change a lot. Sounds silly... but I really wish to have that power. At least for a while, I am the only person who is moving and I can see a lot from the surroundings while people while they are not in motion.

Ah, my favorite would be being able to teleport myself and the people around me. It would be so much fun and I would be able to do many things like that and run away from danger too! Basically I love traveling and I could see more places and save money like that! I dreamed of having that since I was a kid and I still think it would be so much fun.

I would want the power to show others the effects of their actions, kind of like the ghost in that Christmas Movie that show Scrooge his past, present and future. If more people were able to see the effects of their actions, there would be a lot less careless actions in the world.

If I can have a magic power myself I would like to move to the place I want to be in a second and that would be the only chance for me to travel around the world!

I thought really hard on this discussion. At first i wanted to be able to fly, but then that would get boring after a few years...and it would attract more attention then i want...so then i got to thinking what about mind reading, that way i can read minds, tell whos lying, tell wheather your a bad, evil person, or even if your about to commit a crime. But then, the truth hurts, do i really want to see how people view me? Or hear what they think of me? I dont think so... Sooo i thought telekinesis. I dont and cant find a flaw in it really, i can hide it really easily, and play it off as such. I can just sit at one end of the room and demand the objects to come to me. How lazy can i be?

My answer to this has been the same my whole life I think... it is healing. Not only because I've always had so many health problems myself, but because so many people I care about have as well. Of course I would hope it would extend to things like mental illnesses and developmental disorders and such as well. If I could have a healing power, I would devote pretty much every moment of my life that I could to the use of it. (I do have to keep a bit of time for my husband and son though.) Still, I would heal all my friends, and then travel from one place to the next just healing people. That would be the most wonderful thing in the world to me.

If it was magic, its a tough choice. Its between mage powers, warlock powers, time mage powers or priest/healing powers.
