What could your magic wand do? →[More:]Inspired by a comment by JulietBanana.

Mine would be useful for mending things, cleaning things, changing the color of things, changing the material of things.

It wouldn't really do anything big or flashy, but it would be extremely handy for knitting bones, flossing, doing the dishes, making my favourite pair of shoes red or black at will, etc.

It would also make little sparkly fireworks and blow bubbles.

Put me to sleep or take away the exhaustion, whichever is applicable at the time.

Mine would make me believe in magic.

Dishes, laundry and floors. In that order. I am a boring, domestic witch. Stretching my imagination a bit, it would cure hangovers and unburn burnt bread.

Non-invasive cosmetic proceedures, grooming, and wardrobe selection.

knitting bones, yes, love it. Mine would sense small clusters of cancer cells before they become visible to the MRI/CAT and ZAP those fuckers!

Never ending bong hits.

Changing the shape/features of people, stylishness/put-togetherness....and bong hits would be awesome too.

It would magically alter clothing to fit me. I love thrift store shopping and always wish the psychadelic muus-muus and cavernous grandpa cardigans were something a little more body conscious for petite little me. On the same tip, I love the cartoony patterns on toddler clothing, but it is sadly too tiny to clothe anything but my puppet doppelganger.

Little sprinkles of fleur de sel! aleppo pepper flakes! saffron! smoked hungarian paprika! freshly grated nutmeg!

Little arcs and splashes of champagne vinegar! red wine! chicken stock! demiglace!

It would have the entire range of Unibroue beers on tap. Tap the rim of a well-chilled glass, and a frothy bubbling river of Don de Dieu would pour forth.

Also, bong hits.

Manipulation of space and time. And endless bong hits.

So I am literally the only person who clicked this thinking "but I already have a magic wand?"

This wand... it vibrates?

(apparently, we think alike, saucy)

I'm torn between Wand of Wishing and Wand of Fireball.

Mine would send people to Zork.
