In honour of how "philosophical" this Sunday is becoming, did anyone else ever read Piers Anthony's Xanth novels?
They imagined a fantasy realm where everyone had a magical power of some sort... but the range was extreme. Some people could talk to plants, or transform, or fly. Others could project dots on a far wall.
Let's say you got the short end of the stick in the world of Xanth. Knowing yourself as you do, what would your Not Really Useful, Maybe Even a Bit of a Nuisance magical skill be?
This sounds both incredibly useful and like the kind of magic skill that will make *every* family function (especially the turkey dinners where the roast sits out awhile after first plating) awkward. π
50/50 helpful/constant nightmare!
