To make something I’m about to eat have no calories or artery-clogging properties.

I would be able to run my fingers through my hair and it would be perfectly styled.

On waking up, I would wave my hands and I would be magically washed, dressed, with my hair styled and my face made up. Oh, and there would be a steaming mug of coffee and toast with marmalade sitting on my desk.

(I am not a morning person.)

I’d love a paperwork spell!

I’d wave my hand and the spell would accurately fill in any documents, paperwork, reports, taxes, accounts, contracts, etc. (This spell rocks!).

Just the thought of never having to do taxes again…. what magic!

oh how exciting.

I would like to have a spell that could cloak my desk and computer at work from everybody else’s eyes (but specially my manager’s) so that I can spend the whole day reading blogs, writing reviews and reading ebooks without worrying that someone will catch me in flagrante delicto.

I call it the ‘daily wish’. One different wish for every day…

Let all the crap build up, then do the ‘dirt removal’ wish one day.
When you have a date and nothing to wear with bad hair, go for the ‘make me gorgeous’ wish.
When you find a room full of hot men - ‘make their clothes invisible ‘wish.

There are not enough days in the year for the rest of my fantasies, oops I mean, wishes. lol

I would love to have a spell that would boost self esteem. I can’t even begin to estimate how much time I waste every day just by worrying about not being sexy or successful or thin or XYZ enough - simply not goodenough. I bet some of you know what I’m talking about! Frankly, I’m sick of it, so I would love a spell to get rid of low self esteem, in me and in others as well. Because life’s just too darn short for that!

I would like a spell that magically follows my husband throughout the day. For example, the spell would magically close every cabinet and drawer he leaves open. (Sometimes my kitchen looks just like the kitchen in The Sixth Sense, you know, after the ghosts got through with it?) And the spell would also magically put away his shoes when he leaves them under the coffee or kitchen table. And the spell would throw away all the snot-filled Kleenex he leaves on various tables throughout the house. Oh, and the spell would close all the doors he leaves open and the lights he leaves on.

That would be one hefty spell, but it would definitely open up some free time for me.

Bullshit meter

Holy crap!  I need the magic spell that can put some extra cash in the check book when I want to buy something way cool.  Is that selfish?  Not a butt load of cash, just a little here and there so my husband isn’t crying cause I spent money on a toy at Walmart for the kids.  Ya know? 

And “CT”, I wouldn’t mind a husband follower either.  I can totally relate to open cabinets, cheese wrappers, and shoes in the middle of the floor.  I thought I was the only one misfortunate enough to be married to a first grader.  Heehehe.

I’d love to have a spell where I snap my fingers and I’m transported to where I want to go.  I have a hellish commute (a hour and half in the morning and 2 to 2 and half hours in the evening) from home to work and back and this spell would make my life much more easier.

A spell that with the snap of my fingers would take the pain away even if only for a few minutes. I’ve lived with it for so long now that I’m not sure I recall what being pain free feels like.

My wish would be that all the sick children in the world would get better and never be ill again.  And I don’t mean the sniffles or the flu; I mean the kids with things like cancer and aids and kidney failure.  I feel blessed every day that my kids are healthy and would love for every parent in the world to know that same peace of mind.

I am also married to one of those men who leave everything where it’s convenient for him, so that would be wish #2.

I love the calorie free food and clean house.

However I would also like to control time to stop it so I can get a breath and enjoy the moment. I don’t know about anyone else but I always want to enjoy the moment or I tell myself I should, but never have time or make the time to do just that. So if I could I would like to have tha ability to freeze time to catch my breath or enjoy the moment.

The instant transport thing is very tempting and I have wished for that when I have been travelling. However, I think I would go with “health and happiness” that I could spell onto a person in need of it. In a sense, that is what I try to do every day as a pediatrician, but it would be nice to have it work quickly and reliably and not have to depend on tired moms remembering meds.

A spell that would give me a

do over!

  This would be enormously handy for all those little screwups, or poor choices…just go back 10-15 minutes with the knowledge of the earlier result intact and get a chance to make the other choice!

With a blink of an eye I’d be perfectly well rested, alert and ready to go. No sleep necessary!

I would love to wave my hand at my boss and instantly have his corporate-speak be distilled down to actual, meaningful English. Since what he says usually has no point or meaning, it would be oh-so-quiet in my office and I might get some actual work done.

I agree with Valerie that a ControlZ spell would be fantastic, but! 

I want a spell that *understands* electronics and mechanics and fixes them.  Figures out my cable/router/modem deal.  Restores my computer from the blue screen of death.  Deals with the chugga sound my car makes.  Redoes the wiring in my apartment so I can toast frozen waffles AND blow dry my hair without blowing a fuse.  You know.  Simple stuff that either costs a ton or just never gets fixed.

Well, you stole it with the dishes.  I despise dishes…love cooking.  You see the problem?  But, if I could extend that to a general clean up of the entire house. Oh yes.
Well, since that isn’t going to happen…I wonder what a maid would run me? :D
Natasha

Insto-groceries. Snap my fingers and the groceries in my cart are magically whisked away to my house and put in their proper place in my kitchen.

Worst thing ever is the fact I have to move all those bags…TWICE. Once into the back of my van, and twice from my van to the kitchen. Then, the inhumanity of unpacking all the food I bought and stowing it away. UGH.

Not sure if I can compete with the person who wanted to cure sick children. I mean, how do you trump that?????

Mine would be a spell to relieve worrying.  You can’t avoid stresses- they come with life.  But we all tell ourselves not to stress, and yet we do it anyway!  So I would love a spell to use to help you let it all go when it’s not in your control anyway.  Can you imagine not worrying all the time?  Live in the moment- what a great spell that would be!

Waving my hands and having my daughter’s mess that insists on crawling out of her room, gone. And leaving her unable to leave or create another mess. Then the rest of the house would get taken care of without so much frustration on my part.

Oh, a the litter box and puppy pads just cleaning themselves.

Mine would be the ability to snap my fingers and time would rewind. So if I’ve put my foot in my mouth, I can step back and call a do-over.

Oh If only I could wave my hands and cast a spell that would instantly have my kids ready for school.  They would be showered, dressed, fed, lunches made, papers signed and off to have a great day of school.  This would be even better if I could learn to this spell in my sleep.  lol

Oh- a dinner’s on the table spell.

I wave my hand over the table and it’s perfectly set with beautiful, yummy food (that my oh so picky children would eat too).  I’d even be willing to do the dishes if all I had to do was sit down to a good meal.

I would love a ‘time stands still’ spell.

I could sit down at the computer at 10 am and write until I meet my word count for the day. When I finish it would still be 10 am and I’ll have the whole day to do as I please.

Still reading that awesome book at 10 pm? Stop time and read til the end, and then you will still get 8 hours sleep in afterwards.

The things I could get done. Could even clean the house once in a while…

I wouldn’t mind a common sense spell woven around the world… but I’m afraid it would make life a lot less interesting I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

Sarah your wish (one of) is granted… buy a bunch of these and set up a camera to watch the cat trying to fly http://www.organize.com/petnet.html

Having a child with Crohn’s disease, I would like a bathroom where you want it spell.  As horrible as it sounds, having been diagnosed with Crohn’s since he was seven, the disease is part of his life and I think it has helped shape him to be the fine young man that he is today. I wouldn’t wish those empathetic, caring parts of his personality away for anything.
BUT that being said, it would be great to make hunting for a potty
obsolete.

I’d have a spell where I’d make a copy of whatever it was I was holding in my hands- so there would be two of them.  It’d only work once a day (so I wouldn’t get greedy), but that way when I find a sweater of my friend’s that I really want but she doesn’t want to part with, I could have it.  And perhaps if I was really powerful, it’d also allow me to “adjust” things, so if there was an umbrella I liked but it was black and I wanted it in bright pink, when I copied it the object would be bright pink.

I would have the power to be able to enter any book in my hands, and live in the world of the book for a time.  The spell would make the experience more like a really vivid dream (or Narnia) in that time in this world would pass much slower than time in the book.

I just watched the weather, and living in FL, I want a spell that keeps the hurricanes safely out at sea where they belong. It seems like Gustav is going to miss us, only to have TS 8 bearing down on us in his wake. I suppose that at least we get days of notice is somewhat of a blessing, but I’d sure take that worry away if I could.

Perfect recall. I suck at remembering names, faces, conversations, etc. It’s so embarrassing sometimes. I’d love to just do a spell and be able to freakin’ remember stuff!

my wish would be that i can wave my hands and my dogs would be fully potty trained to use the toilet.  it’s the worst in the winter time…. brrrrr….. go… go potty… goooooo…. go pottyyyyyy…. and all the dogs want to do is play in the snow…. grrr… winter.

I’d like a spell where I instantly thoroughly understand things I need to learn (i.e., SQL, CSS, and how my cell phone can go from the top of my purse to the far bottom corner beneath the bills, lipstick, and pens in .002 seconds).

hah. Submit word learned63. Yes, I’d like a spell where I could learn 63 things in a nanosecond.

instant drunk remover - complete with destruction of side effects. My husband & our group of friends often enjoy having a few drinks together or going out and seeing a band in a bar or night club. The downside is the sweat-alcohol smell, the bourbon breathe and that aching head in the morning. Not to mention the occasional sleepless night as he snores with abandon next to me. I’d love to wave my hand and have instant loss of alcohol side effects…just the remnants of a pleasant buzz afterwards

I’m going to have to go with something completely cheesy… but fortunately, it’s very true.  I am currently loving and living with with a guy that is wonderfully perfect for me.  We’ve been dating for 2 1/2 years with 1 1/4 of that time living together… and still are gaggingly (to others point of view, that is) smitten with each other.  So, my spell would be a good health spell on both of us, that would keep both of us safe and healthy until we both died, at the same time, some point far out into the future.

while initially torn between the insta-house cleaning or insta-hairstyle, I gotta go with the Super Acne Disappearing mojo. As an adult acne sufferer, it totally blows to have acne. I wish to make it all go away!!!

name67: I don’t think I’m the 67th person to post…am I?

The only spell I’d I want that someone hasn’t already said (clean my house! instant dinner!) is “a mute button.” 

I am the mother of two not-yet-civilized young children (all the parents out there know it’s a long term project) and they can get pretty rowdy.  I live in “the city that never sleeps,” though I do, and though I am a native and therefore have a pretty high tolerance for ambient noise, they are doing demolition, which I can only assume will be followed by construction, in TWO locations near my house from 8-4:30 six days a week.  All this would be tolerable, more or less, without the advent of the cell phone, with all those ringtones at top volume and people yakkity yak yakking 24/7 regardless of others around them.  This is a crowded city, we cannot always tune out our neighbors as we’d like.  After I (and everyone else within 10 feet) overheard the woman sitting next to me on the jam packed crosstown bus weepily inform her BFF via of her cervical cancer diagnosis, I have been wishing fervently for a mute button.  Or a cure for cancer.  Or both.

i’m a college student. i want a spell that either a) does my homework for me while somehow instilling the knowledge of it in my brain or b) can influence professors to give only minimal amounts of it, no papers over 3 pages, no group projects, etc.

that, or the ability to pop in a new, good book anytime i need one, free of charge and in a nice tasteful cover. sounds like the kindle, except for the free part…

cleaning would work too. i love organization, just not organizING.

sorry. that’s three. *shuts up now*

a communication-clarification spell.  i HATE it when people talk/email at each other at cross purposes.  did you not just hear/read what i said?  do you not listen?  is this not your native tongue?  one wave of the hand, and each person would understand (maybe not AGREE) with the other’s point.

talk 39: and hopefully this wouldn’t take 39 minutes each time.

Having spent the summer traveling, including an incredibly uncomfortable direct flight between Cairo, Egypt and NY with two small children in tow, my wish has to be for a spell to instantly transport me to any place I want to go, instantly. No waiting, no traffic, no customs or passport control, just instant gratification…

I would want a dinner party spell, where with a wiggle of my pinky a full spread of appetizers, entrees, sides, and dessert would hover (kept warm) waiting for the people to finish their current course. That way I could have a party a week, inviting whoever happened to be near me at the time—say like people on the street, the guy who mows the yard, the post man, the guys fixing the pot hole in the street. I’d like to be able to show my appreciation to my friends and the others in my life through food, something that connects people here in New Orleans.

Oh all the choices here are spectacular.

I’d like a reality spell. So I can give myself a healthy dose of reality whenever I need it. Feeling like the world is out to get me? Reality time. Feeling like I’m the only one in my office who does anything? Reality needed.

I’d also like a 7 year old speak spell. I adore my daughter but obviously articulation of her thoughts and feelings needs some witchcraft.

I would like to have a spell that lets me know what others are thinking at a particular time.  I also want to be able to turn it off and individualize it.

I’m torn between two spells already mentioned: the first (my original thought) is the 8-hours-of-sleep-in-the-blink-of-an-eye spell, clearing the way for all sorts of creative, organizational, and, hrm, interpersonal endeavors; the second, a brilliant suggestion, is the instant total recall spell, since I am utter crap with names, faces, and personal details for at least the first year that I know someone.

Gaaa, why is there no literal magic in the world??

OK, this is where I get practical.  I want to twiddle my pinkies and heal everything that goes wrong in my body, including age.  Yup, I want time.  Give me time and good health and I can solve the rest of the crap. 

My second choice would be to send bicycles chasing after the messengers.  You know, the dudes who always try to ride us down in the streets?  I would LOVE to see them running away from their psycho bikes.

Bess

Banish cancer from the world so selfishly i can have mother back.

No one has turned their magical hands specifically at laundry yet, so that’s what I’m going with.  I hate laundry.  I despise laundry.  Laundry is neverending, a black hole for socks and underwear, a mangler of sweaters and laundry fades my brights.

I would love to be able to have clothes automatically cleaned, pressed and hung as soon as they come off with no signs of wear, fading or stretching.

P.S. CT and Kathy, we should set up a playdate for our husbands.  I have a feeling the three of them would get along.

Well, my first two ideas got taken pretty quickly:  the insta-transport spell and the insta-clean-house spell.  But I did manage to come up with another one:

The Cell Phone/Bluetooth Killer spell.  I would love to be able to wave a hand at some inconsiderate moron on his/her cell phone and have it go dead for 15 minutes or so.  Same for the people that yak endlessly on their bluetooth headsets in public.  It would give everyone else a break from obnoxiously loud ringtones and inappropriate conversations.  No harm to the person—just the phone.

Can you tell I work in a library and that I’m sick and tired of some of our patrons?  ;)

I’d go for a teleportation/instant readiness spell. I work 10+ hours a day, and have a 45-minute one-way commute on top of that. If I could wave my hand in the air in the morning after I’ve dragged myself out of bed and poured some coffee down my throat, and suddenly be magically transported to work (and appropriately showered dressed and coiffed) with no effort on my end, it would be so awesome. For one thing, it would be great for the environment, with all the saved gas. For another, I’d get more than 4 hours of sleep a night. Finally, my fiance complains about how I work too much and we never see each other; if I could magically transport myself home on time, already attired to go out to dinner, it would really revitalize my relationship.

I think the only spell I would like to be able to sprinkle about would be good health. I don’t suffer from anything but several friends and family members do. I think it would be quite satisfying to rid them of the need for medications and releive pain.

Debt repayment spell.  With a wave of my hand, all my students debt would be paid off.  This could come in handy with credit card bills, too.  Of course, they money would have to come from some magical, always full bank account and not from my own measly librarian paycheck ;)

I’d like a spell that would instantly make every vehicle on the road get 60+ MPG and be emission-free.  Oh, and second the good health spell - not having to worry about my signifigant other’s cardiac issues would be wonderful.

I would love to teleport anywhere I want to. That way I wont have to deal with public transportation.

No one is being greedy, so I will.  I want a spell that gives me unlimited spells.  Then I can have the clean house, well behaved and trained dogs, new car, great job (see, I still want to work - sort of), and money in the bank to avoid the worries.  Oh, while I am dreaming, I will also be much thinner, taller, and a few years younger.  My sister will envy me instead of the other way around.

Cure asthma. My kid’s having an attack? I could snap my fingers and it’s gone. It’d work on opk’s, too.

An extra two hours of non-aging time—so if I’m at work and I need to finish something, I can just finish it, and I’ll still be there to pick up the kids on time, or if it’s nine-o-clock and I haven’t worked out, I can go work out and when I get home it’s still nine-o-clock, or if the kids are napping, and I’m on a roll writing, I can finish my roll, and it will still be time for the kids to wake up without being cranky asses all day.  If I had that spell, I might have time to clean my own house, work out, or just write as much as I really want to!

A spell that would take all the wonderful ideas in my head for my current WIP and voila!  They’re all written down in a way that makes sense!  I’m still willing to edit, but man, a first draft spell would be delightful!

It would be to heal. I fall so darn much into things over things…. I could really use a self healing spell! between me and my son i think we keep bandaid in buisness

I would like a house remodel/repair spell. I hate dealing with contractors, repair people, etc. I need a new bathroom, kitchen, flooring,  the outside deck needs repairs, the outside faucet needs fixed, and on and on. I don’t have the energy/time for making the phone calls, arranging appointments, waiting for them NOT to show up and then doing it all again!

Since world peace has been taken…

I’d like a smoothing spell.  It could go like this:

Twist me, knot me, crinkle me, nay.
When I wrinkle my nose this way
Every knot and twist in my day
Is oh so smoothly wiped away.

This would take care of age and bed-head related morning maintenance routines; laundry issues; interpersonal communications; traffic snarls; and possibly that world peace thing too.

You’d have to wear slip-on shoes all the time and you’d need a counteracting spell when you wanted kinky sex.  But other than that I think it’d be useful.

My spell would be that whenever I’m feeling a complete lack of motivation to do something, I could wave my hands and be overcome with fire and enthusiasm to see the project through with enjoyment and good humor.  This would have a multitude of applications in my everyday life, from getting up in the morning, to dealing with house chores, to sitting down for ten minutes here and twenty minutes there to get some writing done.  The only danger I see is that I might quickly become addicted…

Alyc

password: child16—apparently I’m not a girl, but not yet a woman.

I would cast a spell on all the really good cold and allergy medicines in the world - you know, the ones that are kept behind the counter now and for which one must beg and plead and only buy so much per month and only with ID and signature - so that they can no longer be used for nefarious purposes and thereby make them available for the good, true, and cold-ridden people of the earth to purchase to their hearts’ and noses’ content. 

(faith72 - I have faith that someday I’ll be able to buy 72 tabs of something that will actually let me breathe again.)

It’s a difficult choice.

Instant transport spell would be bliss and would allow people to occasionally take trips for pleasure, easing the stress on the roads.  Though I would probably have to combine it with an extra time spell, cause I use my commute to get a lot of reading done, so maybe not.

A spell to get domestic chores and to enable me to find stuff from where it is when it is cleaned away. 

A spell to create storage spaces so that I could have space to put some of my clutter, particularly the TBR pile.  It would make organising my life much easier.  An easy method of access would be useful.

A healing spell so that I could repair my dodgy health, which causes me no end of stress, particularly when it comes to my oncology review, I know it’s healed but it keeps the stress going.  Repairing my wrists from RSI, my lungs from chemo, my feet from flat so I could wear nice shoes, the damage done to my legs by it taking so long for them to diagnose that.  To fix the probable coeliac disease so that I don’t have to read every package before buying food of any sort.  Also so that I could help my husband get over the damaged knee and his psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  I’d say it would take a while to get through the two of us before spreading the healing.  I think this is would be the best of the lot but the rest would be useful.

I would like the ability to change flavors. Make carrots taste like Cheetos. My daughter’s allergy medicine taste like chocolate milk.  Brussel sprouts like gummi bears…

It would make our sex life a little bit more lively too ;)

I echo the healing spell—both for others and for myself.  I work in a hospital—enuf said there.  I also have a pinched nerve in my back and am writing this sitting with a heating pad so getting rid of my own pain would be nice—no aching knees, no aching back, etc.  A reverse aging spell would also be nice—ah to go back to my underappreciated 21 year old body where there were no aches or pains, lots more energy, slimmer, but still ME—not perfect or the best bod around but one that I really didn’t appreciate at the time.

I want a spell to empty out a public restroom so I don’t have to wait in line. And I can make it private if I need to. A small thing, but it would help life.

Oh, this one was easy and popped straight into my head.

To wave my wand at groups of individuals and have them instantly understand, respect, and tolerate their opponents religion and culture.

Hence the old, “Hey, dude. Your style is not my cuppa, but I’m not going to blow you off the planet because of it.”

The spells to clean house and make all bad-for-you-but-too-good-to-give-up food calorie free and non-artery clogging are very tempting, but I’m personally torn between wanting a spell that lets me morph at will a la Mystique or a spell that would let me snap my fingers and instantly have expert knowledge and ability in whatever subject or activity I want.

Maybe spell that magically makes a nanny/sitter appear whenever you need to go out sans munchkins? Hmmm.

[I was going to say the clean house or the no sleep needed one, but now I have to get a little more creative…]

One blink and my bookshelf replenishes itself with the books I want to read.

To wave my wand and have instant clothes.  I can change clothes anytime I want with a wave of my wand.

If I were feeling altruistic, I’d say something along the lines of, “I want a spell where I can wiggle my nose and every unhappy person I meet is instantly happy.” HOWEVER…I am in the process of housebreaking a Newfoundland puppy.  He’s 7 months old, weighs 50 pounds and is over two feet tall at the shoulder. He gets a drink, he pees. He eats a doggie treat, he poops.  I want to wiggle my nose and all messes are instantly gone and Boone trained perfectly. Pls kthnxbai

I’m diving into the shallow end.  I want the patented Eve Dallas instant orgasm spell.  One touch and that woman’s over the freaking moon!  Give me some of that! 

Or maybe I should be asking for the “turn my husband into Roarke” spell, which will yield said instant orgasms.  Hmm.  Decisions, decisions…

So many good ones already taken.  I’ll have to go with a spell to make people love me.  But only for a limited time, I can always renew the spell if I want, or just send them on their way without those exhausting breakups.

This is easy.  Me and my step-son were talking about this the other day.  First, though, his was: not dying until he chose to.  Which is pretty deep for a 10 yr old.

Mine: Teleporting.
My minor one: Never having to shower/bathe to be clean.

There have been SO many great ideas for spells.  I love the time stand still and the perfect recall!!! I can’t remember squat.  It’s truly hard to come up with something that hasn’t been said. 

So here I go….I’d like to wave my hands and everything in my life be organized.  I’m talking from the mounds of paperwork on my desk here at work to the clutter and laundry in my house to my unkept checkbook.  I am SO unorganized it’s amazing that I can function.  My husband is completely opposite from me.  I say I’m the chaos to his organization….gotta have balance, right? *sigh*  :)

Mine? Mine would be a temporary supernatural persuasivenes. Just long enough to convince the college that, for example, they should change a couple of dumb policies, or that bank robbers really should give themselves up, or a place that pays 13 dollars an hour that they really should hire me.

Near the town where I grew up was a small lake. It was large enough to have two distinct beaches but small enough that swimming across it was a relatively minor undertaking—almost everyone did it eventually. It was really only an hour or so of swimming.

The thing was, the lake was spring fed, so you’d make a ton of progress initially, and then get hung up in the springs for a variable amount of time until you broke past those currents, and then make a ton of progress again at the end.

I used to have very vivid dreams about the lake being a magic weight loss lake. (I was a fat teenager, what can I say?) The fatter you were, the longer you got caught up in the middle, since the magic took a little time to work, but eventually, everyone would be the same perfect size 6 when they reached the other side. (Thank you, Sweet Valley High for letting me know what size was ‘perfect’.)

Of course, if I’d swam that lake a little more often (say, once a day) and maybe eaten a little less crappy junk food, I might have found it did ‘magically’ cause weight loss. Just a little less quickly than in my dreams.

I’ve kind of gotten over that awkward teenage phase, but as a still fat adult, I’d still like to have a magic fat burning lake as my particular spell. Not to keep the kids from teasing me, but to keep my knees from aching when I stand all night at concerts.

My spell:  an insulated bubbled around my house to keep out all the noise I have in my neighborhood and it would also zap people who cross onto our property line (my property is not the public park people!).

Hmm..well, I’d first snatch up the insta-clean spell that included laundry, but after that I’d want a spell that would automatically merge cars when the lane is ending. (One of my biggest pet peeves is the idiots who wait until the last minute to merge, then slows down the rest of us when said idiot slams on the brakes and darts in.)

Asante sana!
Squashed banana…
Wewe nugu
mimi apana!

Yeah….I’d turn people into baboons.

Is this spell only for personal area or can I have a global spell?  If so, any male (or female for that matter) attempting to have non-consensual sexual relations with anyone, including people under the age of 16(?) instantly gets turned into whatever they are attempting to abuse.

I have to go with a transport spell. I love to travel and my husband won’t fly. If I could get us from here (Georgia) to anywhere in the blink of an eye, twitch of a nose or even astride a broomstick, life with this otherwise wonderful man would be practically perfect!

Okay well mine is selfish, I want perfect skin, no flaws whatsoever!

I want a truth spell like Wonderwoman’s golden lasso.  I wanna know when people are lying to me.  It needs to work long-distance so I can tell when politicians and others in the media are blowing smoke.  “So, Chinese Gymnastics Coach, how old is that girl anyway?”  “I am forced to tell you she is actually 13.” And it especially needs to work on my kids!

I’d like spell/power that allows me to share what I’m feeling - for medical staff. So when I visit my doctor and he says “You might feel some slight cramping” I can let him feel exactly how much of an understatement that is. Or so when I go in and tell them how painful some thing is I can show them instead of them saying “Oh, I’ve never heard of that being painful, it can’t be that bad.” I would also like to be able to use this power for other folks, not just myself - as in being some sort of conduit for them to their docs.

My spell would transform me into my 25 yr old body but with my 46 yr old experience/wisdom….

A spell that made every library book I wanted at the library magically be there, and not checked out.

There’s only one “spell” I chant on an occasional basis, once uttered by a wizard on a cartoon show long ago.  After an adventure went wrong, the call for the wizardly owl would go out, and he would indeed come, lecture the poor wayward turtle character about overreaching his ability or some such, and would send the poor turtle character back home with with this chant, said in a very Central European (German?) accent:

“Dreezel, Drazzle, Drozzle, Drone. Time for this one to go home”

And then the screen would spin and the turtle would be back in the safe confines of his house, regretting whatever he did, and yada yada yada.  But of course we all knew that in the next episode, the turtle would again go out and party too hard and take too many drugs and do the same thing… Well, whatever. 

This is the spell I want to have actually work.  A spell to allow you to get home no matter how bad you screwed up.  Like George Bush and Iraq.

Teleportation, hands down.

Not only could I travel the world and still sleep in my own bed, I would open an instant delivery service that would beat FedEx and UPS, thus earning a living. Sure, I could teleport into a bank vault, but that would be stealing, and I don’t do that.

BTW, I loved the novel by Stephen Gould, Jumper. Missed the movie, tho. Meh.

Instant Cabana Boy Crew.
At a snap of my fingers, a whole crew of cabana boys (why stop with one when you can have a flock/swarm/harem) would instantly appear, willing to fulfil my every desire.  These cabana boys would be willing to do any dirty, nasty thing I wish. 

You know what I mean - drive car pool.  Drop off the dry cleaning.  Pick up the limbs TS Fay blew down that still litter my yard.  Take out the trash.  Take the stack of packages to the post office.  Remember to do daily back ups of the mission critical files on the pc.

What did you think I meant?  ;)

Ohhhh, god, the instant clean-up spell would be magnificent.  (Or the instant re-energizer one, think of all the extra time for reading!)  But what would be really awesome would be to twitch my nose and have one more chapter in a book.  Sometimes I’m just not quite ready to give up the story when it’s over.

I always misplace my keys and my mobile phone so I would like a spell that finds them instantly for me.

But the a wish a day spell would be great, to clean up the apartment one day, and do the dishes the second (I love cooking, hate the dishes) That was one mighty idea eaeaea.

Grrr, all the ones i thought of are taken.     
House cleaning, transportation and extra space would be my faves. Especially extra library space. A spell where you could be transported to another dimension where time almost stands still compared to us, so you could go to your library and sit and read in peace to your heart’s content, then come back out and you haven’t missed anything.

Oh…how about one that would finish all those half-completed home improvement projects my darling dear devoted hubbie (love the guy to death but…) has proliferated in the house and the backyard.

My body is the perfect shape, muscle tone, blood pressure and all around healthy! No bad genes to speak of, no cancer cells waiting to sneek in and wreak havoc on life.
Humm…I think I might like to give that to everyone. That way the world can worry about important stuff…like finding love, peace and happiness!

Hmm, I want a spell that’ll give me energy to get things done: something I could mumble every morning that has the same caffeine equivalent of 4 cups of coffee without the jitters and stomachache, so I can stay up til 3 am studying and/or reading and still go to work the next day without seeming dead or drunk… :D

I would like a spell that could find anything lost.  From a missing child to misplaced homework.  Yep,  a “find it for me” spell is what I would create.

As I stand in the space between the worlds, I stand in front of the altar I have created for the directions and the goddess and the god.

I ask for courage and luck, then I raise a cone of power with my intention on instilling the spell into a special wand.

The next morning, I bring my wand to work and wave it blithely at my computer…when I log in, I find that yes the spell works.  My documentation is all done for the month.
