    Bend probability to my will.

    Example: Jump out of a plane (see a bowl of petunias and a sperm whale on the way down), bend probability so that against all odds; I start to fly.

      Is there a monkey’s paw clause in this? Does probability snap back like an elastic on the things you aren’t focusing on?

        There’s definitely an inherent paw clause to this power…unintended consequences galore!

        Probability has more than one side, bend it one way and its also being bent away from another.

      I would choose this too. Probability that I’ll win lottery next week would be nice to adjust. Also probability of getting sick/staying alive. And as I’m (allegedly) slowly getting older: Probability that I’ll wake up tomorrow well rested in a good shape and nothing hurts.
