I Want a Pony!

I guess these ponies are all forms of magic, but here you go...

1. I still want ruby slippers (or, okay, if you're a purist, silver slippers), so that I can click my heels and go home!

2. I want a magic wand! I don't know what it should do. Maybe it does something dumb, like changing a pig to a chicken, or making the person next to me jump as if spinachified, or, oops, dropping something out of my pockets. Or maybe it does something dumb at first, and I have to learn how to use it.

(Maybe even Rogue-style wands, where a wand works only once and you don't know what it does till you try it. Of course, there would have to be some way to shake this up in Glitch, so that communal knowledge does not replace individual knowledge. Maybe what works for me is different from what works for you.)

3. Invisibility would be fun, too. Rogue-style rings, or Harry Potter-style capes? Maybe a temporary action from a wand? Or, like spinach, from a food that you eat? Maybe if you drink invisible ink (which we don't have yet, but should) you'd turn invisible for a bit.

Probably not terribly useful for anything, but potentially fun.

4. Sure, invisible ink is a pony, too. Maybe you have to make it out of bubbles, though of course IRL invisible ink can be made with lemon juice.

5. Potions in general might be better than wands in that they more obviously have N uses. But a potion could be a teleportation potion, or an invisibility potion, or what have you.

6. But I still want a wand. Even if it's dumb.

  • what the...

    a wand would be a good idea as just a cool thing that you can add to your character and choose which wand you want, like a flaming one or a lightning one, it would also be cool if you could like zap people or something. But i was really here to tell you, Gravity Cat and Ceiling Cat will Unite and Get you someday...

  • I like all of these things. However, I don't really see the point in invisibility, even for fun. It's just that sneaking up on someone wouldn't really work in cyberspace.

    I'm not shooting down the idea, though--just don't yet see the benefit :)

  • Well, obviously, if you could be invisible, you could sneak up on someone and say BOO! But you'd have to tiptoe, of course.

    I don't know. But I'm not sure the practicality of it is actually the point.
