[WP] You daydream a lot, saving people in another world with amazing skills. Your daydreams progressed and you gained a trusty sidekick. You thought it was all a fantasy until your sidekick also learned to daydream, and appearing in front of you, in real life, asks if you needed help in your world.	68
[WP] Every time you turn around you smoothly transfer to another universe that is ever so slightly different. To stay in the same universe, you keep count of how many times you turn in one direction and balance it out by turning the other way around.	61
[WP] The ability to switch consciousness with animals has gained you fame and profit by capturing pests, returning lost animals, spying, and working for the entertainment industry. Your body was kidnapped during your last job, and upon coming back, you are threatened to work for a crime syndicate.	61
[WP] The Fatal Five: a riddle so perplexing, an enigma so compulsive, a poem so mesmerizing, a joke so funny, and a proof so deep, that anyone who thinks about them ends up dying. The book has been banned everywhere but Death Row, where it acts a more humane alternative to the death penalty.	59
[WP] The Rock of Transmogrification allows you change shape into the animate or inanimate, magically retaining all of your senses. To work, part of you must be touching the rock. The best advice is to transmogrify with it inside you. Otherwise, someone might take it, leaving you transformed, forever	57
[WP] Being half-angel and half-demon, you are the rare exception that can enter both realms freely. Lately, you've been walking amongst humans, telling them tales of each from your indifferent standpoint, and giving them the perspective and guidance to choose the one best suited for them.	55
[WP] After angering a witch by ignoring her advances, she curses you in kind to be treated as if you were not there. This gave you an interesting superpower, as you are now invisible to anyone not actively concentrating on you. Of course, it makes getting paid for your services that much harder too.	55
[WP] Mediocre Man, jack of all trades but master of none, is the superhero you call (only) when nobody else is available. He _will_ get the job done; there is nothing he cannot do. But he never does a great job either: it's always mediocre.	55
[WP] Some kids create an app, but fearing their parents will take it for themselves, they ask you to publish it for them. It's wildly successful, billions of dollars. They are now adults but don't remember it. You want to give them their business back, but slowly, so they don't mess things up.	54
[WP] Upon waking up you find yourself in a room with other abductees who each speak a language none of the others understand. A telepathic message explains that this is an escape room, and that each of you has a separate, important hint about how to solve the puzzle.	52
