"Yes, it'd be inconvenient if after all that scheming I could be hit by a unicorn having tea in the next room."

"And the whole shebang minus hypnosis, so, poke a heart and no magic passive or active, eats your mana real fast, will not Erinyes-reincarnate if you die right then?"

"...yes, I think so. Would I be able to, I don't know, set something up in advance to get me teleported to a kissing accomplice upon my death? Or would that also be disrupted?"

"Huh. I think that the unicorn heart will stop foxing your magic once you are dead, so something like this is not impossible, but I do not know from the top of my hat what would do it."

"I don't intend to only do things that are known. I'll take it. What's next? Dealer's choice."

"I mentioned the blind girl - you can have a problem of a sense, too much of it or too little of it. Too much is also sort of like having the superpower of super-hearing or whatever but in the most inconvenient of ways; losing a sense nothing so clever available."

"The conventional five? Or are we tossing in proprioception, ineffable magical tingles, ennui, gaydar..."

"Conventional five. Not stone deaf or all darkness all the time unless you soup this up, but very very much impaired."

"Hmm. If I deaden my sense of smell and enhance my sense of taste, and... how's the enhanced touch, anything to write home about?"

"Some people find it fun at certain moments. Does make it hard to wear most clothes, touch a lot of things..."

"Mm. Potentially not worth it. I have excellent control over what I put in my mouth, but it would be more limiting if I couldn't bear to touch cement. So - deaden smell, enhance taste, keep touch in mind for if I'm desperate for a bit of extra magic."

"Deadening smell and enhancing taste gets you four more points. I hope you can cook and are not at present a fan of hotsauce and ancient cheese. Next in this section is one where you are very light. Shock carnival weight-guessers, blow yourself around in the wind easier, but also easy to knock down. Compatible with one that makes you heavy, actually, but you do not seem to have this too, only the lightness one. Floaty, no scuba diving. Reduces carrying capacity of broomstick because this is based on weight."

"Lead-lining my clothes seems very straightforward. That's just free magic."

"It is popular, yes. Two points. Here is one where you get to be the most dangerous game. There are witch hunters and you can be one's least favorite person for ten points. They keep coming back, and don't stop and call it good if you can come back either, so that would be somebody trying to tag you with a unicorn heart and off your kissing accomplice, but it is pretty hefty in the points."

"Not a pushover, I'm imagining... how hard do they keep coming back? If I get one in a box and drop him into the ocean, will he be back from that? If I trap his soul in a rock on the beach?"

"These are several different fellows, not one chap who has always conveniently mopped up his last target by the time another awakening gives him a new one, but I think the commonest way is they have a soulbound relic that respawns them periodically."

"More trapping-the-soul than lead box, then. I think I can work with that, unless my intuitions are badly off about what kind of magic is available to me."

"Yes, not impossible to deal with such a hunter permanently, if you are excited to cat and mouse for a bit I am excited for you to take one off the chessboard, they keep murdering and murdering!"

"A public service! Perhaps it'll earn me points with my patron. Yes, let's add the hunter to the pot and move on."

"Let's see what else. One for animals hating you, one to be addicted to something like coffee or gum, one to lock out a kind of magic you don't ever want to do, one to make monsters chase you - no specific monster, so pretty hard to deal with forever - one that makes you pick up power and skill with using it slower. One that makes you ugly, one almost everyone takes that gives an extra nipple in a random place but can be moved. One that gives you a need like for air or water or food only it can be whatever. One that breaks the seal of confessional - not me telling the world from roofs, mind, but just beaconing spies. One where you forget we had this conversation and later you are hit by a car or something that would naturally awaken you and wake up witchy with your memories put back where they belong - cannot tell quite how long this would take, probably less than a year and more than a month. One that gives you imposter syndrome, one that makes you compulsive about something with points depending on rarity of thing."

Sifting through those... he'll think about locking out a magic once he knows his options, addictions are undignified but manageable, ugly is unacceptable, being slow is unacceptable...

"How bad does it have to be, to awaken naturally? I'd expect to bounce back without a problem from being hit by a car, if I woke up shiny and new, but I'm concerned by it giving almost as many points as the immortal hunter."

"Varies. Sometimes very bad, sometimes in fact kills you and then you awaken from dead and have to be smooched, which you will not remember to do, or since also you are an erinyes you reincarnate in somebody."

"Reincarnating... could be inconvenient, I suppose... if I find myself waking up in a geriatric or a toddler, will I return to my ordinary form somehow? Would I need to find additional magic for it?"

"Return to your, not original, but true awakened, form, so not a child or a geriatric. However, not necessarily on this Earth, or even an Earth."

"Oh, that hardly matters. I'm not a homebody. Let's roll the dice, then... and, about the requirement drawback, could I need something like pain as often as breathing? I'm envisioning leaving a tack in my shoe all day..."
