[WP] Memories are finicky things. They hold what makes us who we are, yet they constantly shift and degrade, especially the more we think on them. True photographic memory has always been a myth, until now. You finally understand why, too. The degradation was never a fault. It was our only defense.

[WP] You stand, terrified of what fate awaits you in the trials. Your opponent conjures great waves of flame to start off the battle. You clench your fist, and see all you're capable of, a single spark between two fingers. But maybe, just maybe, a spark is all you need.

[WP] "One of the common misconceptions in the early days of magic was 'Wishes'. A Wish is not an intense desire one has for an object or state of being. A Wish is an act of pure destruction, tearing apart all possibilities except for one. This was discovered when the continent of Atli went missing."

[WP] During a campout with your friends, all of you begin to feel uneasy for no discernible reason. Deciding to leave, you and your friends find the car is refusing to start. The decision is unanimous at that point. If something is after you, you're going to turn the tables on it.

[WP] Immediatly after falling asleep, you regain awareness, sitting in a chair and staring at a contract on a desk. This same scene has been the focus of all your dreams since before you can remember. Only today, you pick up a pen you're sure wasn't there a moment ago and sign your name.

[WP] Choosing ‘Nightmare Mode’ for your life was something you regret on occasion. But you do have to admit it, being allowed a single unknown perk that would activate at 20? That would be worth it... hopefully.

[WP] When you told the party you were a Diplomancer, they figured you were joking. After an extremely productive few hour conversation with the BBEG, you can safely say that you fully understand their point of view, and know exactly how you can talk them down from their original goal.

[WP] "Everyone is born with a Gift! I can spit fire, and my son can levitate. Don't worry if your Gift seems strange, I've met many who felt that way, and each of them grew into their Gift with time. So, what is yours?" Silence reigns for a minute before the child responds. "...Free will."

[WP] You've been going through a Groundhog's Day type loop for quite a while now. You could stop it at any time, but... there are some things more important than your own wish for a release from this special hell of yours.

[WP] You have the superpower to outshine them all! So what if you insisted you didn't actually have an impressive power and your power is just a world-wide perception filter to make everyone think you're more impressive than you really are? You're clearly just joking! Now, go get that Great Old One!
