What Would Your Magic Power Be?

Mind reading, undoubtedly. But I'd want it to be something I had to actually put effort in to accomplish, since hearing everyone's thoughts all the time would be maddening.

 

But knowing what people are thinking, and more importantly, their inner desires and feelings, can create understanding, and understanding is the greatest ingredient for successful social contact, from relationships all the way to business negotiation.

 

The other reason I'd make this choice is it's not an obvious enough power I'd get outed and abducted by the government or something.

Moving freely between any dimension I choose. I would know what to do with this magical power >D

Who says Equestria would be one of them?

Nobody, but even without this option this would be great! But I think I would make sure to check every dimension before available

I would want to read minds but only in a way where I can pick one person at a time so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed. I would try to be helpful about it, like read the mind of a villain to see what their ultimate plan really is.

Maybe temper those expectations. For all we know, the number of dimensions and worlds could be literally infinite so checking ALL of them would be unfeasible for a human lifetime and terribly wasteful for an immortal life.

I'm not sure if this counts as a "magic" power, but I would love the ability to copy skillsets observed in others. Like, watch someone play a song on the piano and then I can play that song. Or tie a knot. Or do a backflip. Or cook an excellent meal.

As a frustratingly little practiced martial artist, the ability to simply observe forms and techniques and then duplicate that same level of skill would make my dreams come true. Just binge watch Kung Fu movies and demonstrations on Youtube and I could become an expert in a day.

That's a no-brainer actually   If I cannot check all dimensions because of my limited life time or any other reason, I will not give up. This also doesn't mean I would do only one thing. I would just not give up. I hope this clearifies it.

That would be so overwhelming. It makes me think about Sunset Shimmer's ability to touch people, having to be a final judge of everyone. Very heavy responsibility.

 

I want to be able to spit for a whole mile. That seems practical 🤪

Very good point, with points for cited precedence.

I’m gonna have to go with teleportation or flying for me.

If I get to choose though. This. Still this
