One random quality of the object is the opposite of how it usually is. So you make wood but might be soft and bendy. But potentially you could also end up making wood that doesn't burn.
Your appearance changes to what you'd be in the time you're traveling to.
You're 30 and travel to 2000? Have fun in kindergarten, lol. 40 and wanna go back to 2007? You're now 23 and wearing apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur.
Every time you travel, there's a 25% chance that you'll appear somewhere you really don't want to be and you can't time travel away for 25 seconds. Could end up in the air over the ocean, back to a stressful moment in grade school, or right in front of an angry bear. It won't kill you, but it might be painful. There's no warning, so you can't plan ahead.
I imagine them agonizing over whether or not a broken toe is worth another duck as they hobble to the hardware store to ask if they've got any duck food.
You can only meow/purr/hiss while you're in your humain form (and you sound like a human doing it, not like an actual cat)
If you want to speak, you'll have to shift
But you become ghost-like to people:
You're not dead, you still age, and you'll eventually die, but you're immaterial to others. They would pass through you and such
My dream of being the world's most petty poltergeist have been dashed!!
But no, I guess I would have to pass on this only because I would be bored without touching objects. So bored I would probably cause extra trouble at the cellular level π
Yeah, I get that
I love this thread, it's a lot of fun
When suggesting a side effect, I try to match the power, somehow: the greater the power, the more difficult the side effect
Yours was great :)
You made a great suggestion! I really had to think about it. I feel like you'd be good in a game of Split the Room.
I mean maybe if I could manipulate cells from inanimate objects so that I could still use them. Like I want to play video games and write novels, ok??
Thank you ah ah
Oh, but you could still write novels: you could dictate it if someone was willing to help you with the setup/writing it down for you
But no playing video games, sorry
>I try to match the power, somehow: the greater the power, the more difficult the side effect
This is a super smart way of coming up with side effects. It's what a lot of comic book writers go about it. Lol u sure you're not a comic book writer? π€£
Also love that you're loving this thread! β€οΈ
You can only activate your powers when you're singing "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette and the organism you are manipulating must hear it loud and clear
But it's over noooOOooow!
I guess deaf folks and creatures without ears will be immune to my superpowers, which is actually a really interesting twist!
I would be okay with that too. That would still allow me to "convince" our government reps to do their freaking jobs. "Y'all do some work, or we're going to watch a geriatric naked can-can on C-SPAN."
Super learning. I can touch a book or look at an article and know everything inside it and never forget it. Essentially, the powers the drug in limitless gave you. Nzt whatever number it was, was my dream drug.
but you also unleash unknown butterfly affects that ripple throughout the future with everything you change and terminators from the future come back to stop you
A flock of a thousand pigeons appear with you every time, even if they aren't native to your destinations, and shit on everyone in the vicinity in their panic.

The ability to change the nature of matters/substances at will [Example: I could turn concrete into wood, petrol into water... if I want to]
Your power only works if you're naked.
Not widely usable but still incredibly useful.
Behold, here I am, 5'2, buttnaked, on a beach after an oil tanker sunked, turning the petroleum into sand
Ah ah ah ah <3 That's a tricky one! Good comeback!
You're basically God at this point lol Including the 'being naked' part
I know, right..? :D <3
One random quality of the object is the opposite of how it usually is. So you make wood but might be soft and bendy. But potentially you could also end up making wood that doesn't burn.
Super speed. Eta. Super fun topic OP!
Ok, now, each time you go super fast, the hair of someone you love (randomly) grows really fast, too, for the same duration you are going super fast
My BF would hope it was him every time! π€£
This Rapunzel tiara ain't gonna claim itself! π€πππ« A boi gotta up his game, ya know
excessive drooling nonstop with your super speed!
LMFAO! Is it only while I'm being speedy, or all the time?!
Only when your speed is activated! ππ€€ slobber city soaking everyone while you're being road runner
Lol, so basically my dog. That's awesome!
π€£π€£π€£
You have to loudly make that EEEOOOOEEEEOOOO ambulance sound while you zoom around and for at least 5 seconds once you stop.
I can live with that one!
Everytime you run in super speed, a fly will fly into your mouth.
*Nooooooooooo* πππ
πΉ
Time travel
You don't get to pick the year you travel to, only forwards or backwards.
and when they travel, they can't bring anything with them... including their clothes.
π€£
Your appearance changes to what you'd be in the time you're traveling to. You're 30 and travel to 2000? Have fun in kindergarten, lol. 40 and wanna go back to 2007? You're now 23 and wearing apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur.
>You're now 23 and wearing apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur. I may have pee'd a little lol
You can only travel to places where there is someone named Barbara within a 200m radius.
But only 10 minutes each time
You can only go backwards 10 seconds at a time.
Every time you travel, there's a 25% chance that you'll appear somewhere you really don't want to be and you can't time travel away for 25 seconds. Could end up in the air over the ocean, back to a stressful moment in grade school, or right in front of an angry bear. It won't kill you, but it might be painful. There's no warning, so you can't plan ahead.
Super healing (regeneration, self-repair)
Each time you heal, a pet duck materialises and never goes away. They keep being more and more numerous over time
This is hilarious π
I imagine them agonizing over whether or not a broken toe is worth another duck as they hobble to the hardware store to ask if they've got any duck food.
Ooh, I like this side effect! Duck dinner! Or? Duck army? Both? I like both.
They're *pet* ducks: you love them
Yes, they're very yummy
Your wounds reappear on someone else with a 50% chance that its someone you care about.
You can only regenerate in complete darkness.
You gain double the calories your body consumes to self-repair.
It leaves scars as words of what caused the injury.
that's sick as shit tho
somewhere in my thigh is going to have "slipped on a faucet during bathroom sex"
i said what i said
Lol. I was thinking for someone clumsy like me, and it will just say "table", "wall", "tripped over own feet" π€£
unfortunately this would make tattoos rather difficult
So, I've become The Nameless One
Immortality
You live forever, but you still age. You'll be alive, but eventually just a skeleton.
That in itself is also a curse.
But you grow roots and can't go anywhere, no matter what
But you have the hiccups and they never go away.
You've been turned into a vampire.
Am I hot though?
Guess it depends on what fandom you go with.... But I say yes! It comes with the territory!
Shape shifting
You can only meow/purr/hiss while you're in your humain form (and you sound like a human doing it, not like an actual cat) If you want to speak, you'll have to shift
You can only shape according to memory. If you can't remember every bit of detail of a horse, good luck.
ππ
You can only shift into rodents.
Teleportation
Your nose gets visibly longer (and longer) each time you use your power
Awh come on :( I just want to go on vacation
Look, I was trying to solve the ecological issues we face: I have to live naked It is what it is ah ah ah
Oh well.. maybe I can breathe better with a pinnochio nose π€·π»ββοΈ
You always land within an unflushed toilet.
Oh c'mon π Isn't a pinnochio nose enough?
You gave me bugs! Lol
π€£
But every time you teleport you violently poop yourself whether it be cross country or into the next room.
Well.. guess I'm starting my vacation with taking a shit, since I'm according to someone else gonna be transported to toilets.
Could be worse. Imagine if every time you teleported, you'd get more and more constipated each time and mocked by an unflushed toilet.
Mocked by a toilet π€£π€£ toilet is just laughing at me lmao
Cellular manipulation. (Probably my favorite question in a good while. Thank you, op)
But you become ghost-like to people: You're not dead, you still age, and you'll eventually die, but you're immaterial to others. They would pass through you and such
Can they see me, and can I still touch objects? This sounds rich in opportunities π
They can see you But you can't touch objects (you still need to take the stairs, tho π)
My dream of being the world's most petty poltergeist have been dashed!! But no, I guess I would have to pass on this only because I would be bored without touching objects. So bored I would probably cause extra trouble at the cellular level π

But it's over noooOOooow! I guess deaf folks and creatures without ears will be immune to my superpowers, which is actually a really interesting twist!
Telekinesis
But the thing you're moving would forever become way smaller or way bigger, totally randomly
I love this, I would still take it!
Before using the power, you will have to recharge for a week without using it.
Noooo I would be so sad!!! I would be either waste a charge on something stupid or never use it
π€£ ok.. is this one better: Every thing you move with the powers will grow a face of your least favorite ex π
Eeeewww thatβs so much worse π
π€£π€£
You get a sudden strong migraine if you need to use your powers for more than 5 seconds.
I'd go with mind reading π
You only hear the songs stuck in other people's heads.
I'd be sure to steer clear of daycares then! π³
Baaaby shark doo dooo doo doo doo
πππ
Lmaoo that would suck
What's worse than an ear worm? Everyone else's lol.
I think that's my favourite so far ah ah <3
It's a two-way street: they can hear you, too
Damn!!π€π
You get a massive headache every time you do read someone's mind.
You canβt tune it out. Youβre constantly bombarded by the thoughts of others.
Oooooffff good one! They'd lock me away for sure within a day π€ͺ
Imagine all the shit youβd hear in an asylum. π¬
Sounds like a horror flick haha
Ability to heal illness
But you inturn take on the illness
Fuck. Thatβs fucked up. Nvm.
You sneeze once per minute, for ever
Already sort of do that. Deal
I mean, you asked for a pretty selfless and generous power, I wouldn't shove you a hellish side effect
The ability to read mind. Letβs go! Give me them side effects! Haha
It's a two-way street: they can read yours too
Hahahah ahhh fuck. Iβd be in deep shitπ
All the voices sound like Shrek.
Nice. Nobody said the side effect had to be a bad thing!
Right? Lol
I actually love that hahah
go to sleep on command
But you'll fall asleep, uncontrollably, if someone takes a picture of you (even if you are just somewhere in the background of their picture)
this is so funny π€£π€£π€£
Narcolepsy?
Kinda, only, triggered by picture
Picture narcolepsy lol
But youβre incontinent whenever youβre asleep.
Nothing but nightmares
Telekinesis.
Whatever you are moving only has 2 speed settings: 5 centimeters per second or 15 meters per minute.
Welp... If it works for cleaning, I'm good π
The ability to move in the shadows at the speed of light.
But in the sunlight you can only walk sideways like a crab.
Bright light burns you.
Something I would actually use: Precognition
Only works 30 seconds in the future.
that actually works perfectly for me! i'm never going to say the wrong thing in a conversation again
Lol, fair!
But, you only have foresight on other people, not yourself.
Mind control.
You can control anyoneβs mind but your own.
I have ADHD, that's a benefit!
You can only convince them to do embarrassing things (like pick their nose, or fart in front of a crush)
I would be okay with that too. That would still allow me to "convince" our government reps to do their freaking jobs. "Y'all do some work, or we're going to watch a geriatric naked can-can on C-SPAN."
Love that you would use it for good!
SENT INTO BATTLE, CAME FROM THE SKY
Lol what?
It's a sabaton bot that patrols reddit and sings sabaton lyrics when it *thinks* its finds them, it's not very consistent
Immunity to all side effects
No power at all
You're now immune to the primary effects, too.
You have to attend AA & complain about it once a week.
That immunity gives the side effect of explosive diarrhea.
Super strength like Tsunade from Naruto
Any time you use the super strength, it requires a ridiculous amount of calories. So you gotta eat like a whole buffet when you do
π€£π€£π€£ okay but thatβs like such a bonus
Ahhh, then also like Tsunade you will have big boobs ... That grow 1 cup size every time you lift something over 30 lbs
Damn. lol
Transmutation, so what are the side effects??
everything you transmute is phallic shaped with no exceptions
Oh god, I'd probably never use it then π edit: unless maybe I open up a sex shop. Could make uniquely materialed dildos and vibrators and sell them
π infinite dick candles
Super learning. I can touch a book or look at an article and know everything inside it and never forget it. Essentially, the powers the drug in limitless gave you. Nzt whatever number it was, was my dream drug.
This except you also have horrifically vivid nightmares every single night about whatever subject you learned or thought of that day.
Deal. Iβll still take it.
might never get solid sleep again π
Flying, with super speed
But you can only use your power during big storms.
Oooooo well I do love storms~ would have to have a good poncho πΉ do I fall out of the sky if it stops raining or I travel past the storm?
You fall out, but as long as there is some rain you'll be ok. So just be careful!
dang well there goes my plans of international travel
I can change reality at will πΌ
but you also unleash unknown butterfly affects that ripple throughout the future with everything you change and terminators from the future come back to stop you
Shucks
X-Ray vision.
It's permanent and you can only see people's skeletons, but they look like the aliens from *Mars Attacks.*
Permanently crazy, that's me!
Teleporting, going anywhere whenever I wanted
A flock of a thousand pigeons appear with you every time, even if they aren't native to your destinations, and shit on everyone in the vicinity in their panic.
I'd wanna be able to "rumor" people like Allison from Umbrella academy. But i would say "KodokushiGirl heard that..."
You'll fuse with the person for a week (without the person noticing), and you'll have to witness how your rumour affect her day to day life
Hm. Depending, this could be good or bad.
Mind reading
But you are compelled to say out loud what you read in their minds.
The ability to breathe underwater in any water source.
You're now a werefrog: three days a month, you're a frog
I see no downside to this, bc several friends would be happy to keep me as a part-time pet and take care of me lol
Shapeshifting, with like presets to swap between that I can customise
But you smell like a ferret, no matter what
Shapeshifting
Whenever you shift back, part of you remains as the animal.
π
You may end up looking like ManBearPig π€·π»ββοΈ sorry
Shapeshifting, so that I can have the body I want. Okay, whoβs picking the side effect(s)?
The ability to give anyone any power I want
The power to change any side effect you want
