1. Abuse? Nothing I would do would be considered abuse. Why? Because if I'm all-powerful, and I say it's not abuse, then it's not abuse. Done deal.

I wouldn't need money, i'd just take/make everything; wouldn't need to rule the world, just interfere when things start slipping. You know, Conjure some oil, Vanish some green house gases, a few choice assassinations and/or mind manipulations, then go back to my hammock. Shit like that.

2. First thing I'd do is set up my own island country, with every ideal geographical setting. And proceed to chillax.

 

I'd win myself impunity for dipping a neighbor's puppy dog in chocolate, and then licking it clean.

 

Good idea Justblaise.

1. Abuse? Not really, I mean I'd do whatever i want, make a cult around me for people to serve my every whim. And explore my powers, then mess around then make everyone forget any stupid stuff I'd done.

2. I'd create my own island, then make it my own country then put it under a secrecy charm, then make it unplottable and muggle repelling. Then once i have created my island make it fertile and invite the brightest male/female scientists in the world. I would then force feed them everything beyond their wildest desires to make/research whatever they wanted. However, in order to enter my island you must swear fealty to me, everything you invent/research must only be used for the greater good, and create a new utopia. With me as it's leader, of course. Did i mention my fanatic cult?

After that, (at a price) I'd pretty much solve world hunger. Sickness, however has to stay or we would overpopulate the earth.

 

Me? I'd rock up a pound of nug, a badass bong, and pimp the fuck out of my house. Then it'd be limited to making my life easier and fucking with cops and other assholes.

 

I'd return monarchy to Europe and reestablish the other countries as colonies.

 

Now I'm just wondering if you missed the hint that you maybe shouldn't have necro'd the thread

 

World, it's better than making a new one and it is something anyone can add too aswell since the OP was a question of preference to everyone.

Anyway, as for me? Well play it how I see it, I want something? I'll use my magic to get it. I see someone needs my help and its within my power? I'd probably help. So yeah I'd use my magic for everything which is probably considered abuse XD.

 

Dam how to answer this, I would most likely take an island also and set it up as one monstress fortress. Then I would raise up my own country within it and just let the world overpopulate. Hopefully by the time that happens I would be one hell of a powerful wizard and then I would just take an army and start wiping countries out for the fun of it. Hopefully they would make armies to fight against me and then it would be one constant struggle for humanity. FUN!

 

Eh...if I had magic, I probably wouldn't use it to do to many things, as anything I wanted or needed I could just conjure.

I'd probably just conjure a billion dollars and go to college for the rest of my life. Become a doctor. I don't really have any desire to hurt people, so other than to annoy them, I wouldn't do anything malicious. I'd probably buy a ton of video games, and live in a library.

And the first thing I'd do?I think that it would be to transfigure my car into something nicer...preferably something that worked...Like a Z09 Corvette.
With space expansion charms on the inside for a fast ride with enough room to fit 20 people.

 

Wierdo....

Just joking, I'd probably go for world peace or something cool like that.

I would certainly branch off into the more technical side of magic like Charms and Transfiguration. Would not bother with offensive and defensive stuff, seems less refined and sophisticated to me. Perhaps transfigue Nelson's Column into something more fitting of the euphamism.

 

Well, I don't really have a desire to help people either. I'm kind of neutral. I like people, but only in small doses.

And I see why. You'd want to learn about all the cool things you would be able to do, not blow shit up. I'd imagine blowing shit up is as simple as a mispronounced incantation. Or a strong anger that you try and push at someone.

 

I'd legalize firearms in the United Kingdom.

 

Dipshit, lets hope you never come into any sort of power, eh?

Edit: to the question below. Liverpool F.C.

 

In an attempt to derail this thread...

Lincos, who's your favorite football team?

 

abuse it? most likely yes...

if i was the only one with it i would go back to ancient egypy or something and become a god...i would mostly likely advance them quite a big in technology to...a good god...but still a god...

EDOT=: or i would just do the goa'uld thing...

 

Philosophers Stone FTW.

I liked Taure's old idea of visiting alternate realities, fandoms, etc. I'd look at different people's memories with Legi too. Learn all I can.

 

I wouldn't really abuse it unless you count making the size of some nice chronic bigger. That way id never have to buy it and I could keep making it bigger whenever I was running low.

Other than that I would just obliviate everyones mind at work to make them think I worked while i was actually home sleeping.

 

Hmmm....

I would most likely use my power in such a way as to draw in power of influence from around the world.

While also making myself weathy of course!

I would also advance technology to the point that it would be easier to explore space not to mention colonize other worlds.
Also it wouldn't hurt to have a certain stone we all know to help me live for as long as I please.

 

I'd use it for personal gain, of course. Taking over the world/controlling world leaders is too much hassle. I don't really care much for the common good beyond things that affect me either, so I wouldn't do much there unless something caught my interest or I get bored.

I'd also keep my powers to myself. Win at the casinos to start out with so I don't have to worry about explaining where I'm getting the money from. Then set myself up to live very comfortably while I research whatever strikes my fancy. Eventually see if my powers breed true.

 

Would you abuse your power (love potions, imperio), go evil (killing sprees, just mass chaos) or will you use your power for good (truth serum? eh good is boring)?
Honestly? I think I'd be rather boring... well, I'd be less ambitious than you guys at any rate. I think I'd become pretty damn lazy actually... I wouldn't use my power for good or evil; just my own selfish desires. I might use a truth serum or two for my own personal amusment though... and to figure out the workings of stupid mangames. (annoying, for the record)

Would anyone else tell people? I'd tell my friends, I mean, what fun is magic powers, and jokes involving the use of said powers if you haven't got anyone in on the joke? I don't think I couldn't not tell them anyway: I'm awful at keeping secrets.

What would be the first thing you would go and do.
Huh, the first thing I'd do would be to run to my mates house and say, "Look what I can do! Jelous?" Um, then we'd sit and plan a bunch of random things that we will do, and then not complete even a quarter of the list, (if we do even one of the things on it)

Damn... I can't actally think of that much I could be bothered doing. There is getting a better job, but imperioing someone into giving you a job is a little over-dramatic. Killing spree is out; if I was homicidal I think I'd have moved down that road already; you don't need a wand to blow someone's brains out. Getting money... it's all just robbery and WAY too much effort...

How about a magical boobjob? I could do with going up a size and that would probibly be one of the first things that I would do; that and perminanly straighten my hair so I don't have to spend hours doing it every day. Ahh, to be young and vain.
