    but you can't tell anyone about the future unless you first say the sentence "I love you"

    Being able to turn into anything, real or fictional, perfectly for as long as I want without wasting energy. I also am able to operate my different body as if I was born with it.

    But whatever you turn into… you must remain as that person/thing for a week.

    Telepathy; the person I telepathically communicate with is also, temporarily, telepathic.

    Ok but you do the same exact things those other people do (e.g. make someone walk 10 steps: you walk 10 steps too)

    Absolute knowledge and understanding… omniscient. I could speak any language. I could solve any problem. But moreover, I would understand the “why” in any situation… true motives, feelings, and thoughts. No more misunderstandings. I would be able to let go of any hurt, jealousy, or anger I felt, because I would be able to understand the entire situation and how it came to be. And I would know exactly what to do and what someone needed in order to make them feel better.
