I guess it's the sort of ability that seems on theme for a heroic Princess type Name. 

It feels very cute and goody-goody. Not her style at all. 

"Puppies Everywhere", now, that's evocative. 

And still not something she wants! Maybe this section will all be rubbish and she'll have enough points to take all the things she wanted from the first section. 

It is that. I really don't know why some powers have such straightforwardly descriptive names and some of them make it very hard to tell what they're talking about or why it's relevant to the power.

Ah, I see we have another chain of powers that build on each other.

...there are kind of a lot of powers built on top of Disney Princess, huh.

Yes. I think it has something to do with genre expectations.

My life so far has not been in the same genre as Disney Princess, and I think I'd just as soon keep it that way.

...oh, the possibilities of Pocket Monsters are intriguing, though. She flicks back to check something. 

Do Pocket Monsters still have to fit through the opening of the bag? How big can a bag be?

The bag needs to be appropriate for Pocket Dimension, which more or less means it needs to be small enough for you to wear comfortably, and Pocket Monsters need to at least approximately fit through the opening but the power can be pretty generous about how easily they fit.

And it has to be me wearing it? I can't carry it on my horse or anything?

Yes. It has to count as being kind of like your pocket, and a bag that your horse is carrying for you isn't enough like your pocket to count.

I'd have said saddlebags were pretty similar to pockets in both form and function, personally, but fair enough.

I think they're more like your horse's pockets than yours, though.

Has to be my own pockets, huh? Damn, there go half my other clever ideas. 

Pocket Monsters gets a dot for now. 

None of the next few look especially interesting...

My Name already gives me some fun shadow manipulation tricks. It's like an extra set of limbs, although I'm not nearly as good with that trick as Black is yet. Would that let me get more use out of Shadow Puppet or does it just make it redundant?

I wouldn't expect it to be redundant, no. Combining one of the Spirit's powers with a related power like that tends to make both things stronger.

It can have a dot, why not.

Maybe I'll see if I can spare the point for it if I end up taking Disney Princess for one of the other powers stacked on top of it. 

Speaking of which...

Why is this gated behind the befriending cute animals power?

Can you tell me more about how Cotton Candy works? 

I guess you could say it changes the genre of your story a little, into a happier one where things that go wrong don't go as wrong and things that go right go better, for you and for other people.

Changes it by how much? Say I was a civilian and still had to worry about being mugged and raped in an alley on my way home from work. Call it 99 times in 100 I'd make it home safe, and the 100th time I'd get unlucky—that's probably about right for someone a little less careful than me and with a worse right hook. How would that change if I took Cotton Candy?

A lot of different things would probably change about that situation.

You in particular as the person with the power would be less likely to run across a mugger than most people in similar positions, and any muggers you did meet might try to intimidate you into giving them money but not turn violent even if you refused, or their attempted mugging might be interrupted by someone who could stop them and help you, or they might trip and fall down so you had time to run away. Someone who was on their way to go mug someone might run into an old friend and get distracted, or hear a rumour about a mugging that went really badly for someone like them and get scared. The people with the worst intentions would be the ones getting the most distracted and redirected.

People living and working in dangerous places might find opportunities to live and work somewhere safer, and the people making those places dangerous might find better opportunities too, and over time there would be less and less danger, primarily around you but also everywhere else.

I'm not very confident about the numbers, but instead of one person in every hundred being mugged and raped, one person in every thousand or ten thousand might be pickpocketed, or yelled at by someone who wanted to steal their stuff but would run away rather than fight them for it. And things would keep getting better over time, and in more widespread ways.

That sounds incredible. Way too good to be true, but then, she's thought that before about other powers on the list, so that's nothing new. 

What about natural disasters like disease and famine? If it can mitigate those on a large scale, it could be a real boon for Callow and Praes, and I can't imagine the surrounding countries would be upset about it either. Are those the sort of thing it would cover, or is it more concerned with man-made evils? 

It helps with those too. They get less frequent and less dangerous in kind of the same ways.

Even if they're caused by something like a war? Hang on, what does it do about wars? It would be good if it cut down on the looting and pillaging and so on, but I'm not sure I want going to war in the first place to get harder, I'm fighting a war right now. 

It would make wars hurt people less, but not make them impossible.

Sometimes in wars people hurt other people on purpose to achieve important goals. Would Cotton Candy fix that by making it harder to achieve those goals by hurting people, or by making it possible to achieve the same goal while hurting fewer people, or by making it easier to achieve them some other way...? I'm fine with wars having less collateral damage, I just want to be sure I understand the scope. 

Does it make sense if I say, it makes it harder to achieve goals where the goal is to hurt people, and easier to achieve other goals without hurting people or by hurting fewer people?
