If you could instantly be given one attribute you currently don't have, what would it be? For me, I'd love to be a piano virtuoso.

Enlightenment
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

Same here, Danlo. But I think I'll pass on that wish, because I suspect if it came with the wave of a wand I would miss some important lessons along the way. I think those wonderful words, plots, and characterizations might not have much to teach, without it.

So I think I'll wish (build for) lasting RL love, happiness, and companionship instead.

The gift of writing like SRD.

That, or being able to sing.

I can sing opera but that's about it. I don't even like opera either. Some cards they dealt me. Geez.

I'd want to be ageless like the Bloodguard. But I want a clause that would allow me to opt out after a time, in case I got tired of it all. :)

To be God of my entire species. To rule absolutely and utterly everything that belongs to humankind. To be able to do everything. Destroy planets with a thought. And be the ruler of everyone.

My one wish would be to undo Revan's one wish.
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

LOLS!!! I'd just make sure that the wish includes a line, something like "and no wishes aloud to undo my wish" HA! I thus rule the earth!

I'd like the focus of mind to effectively harness the gifts I have. That would be awsome. :D

Well I've deliberately removed my tongue from my cheek and am answering the question honestly.

I have to say that this would be my pick too.
I've always imagined that casually walking up to a piano at a restaurant or at a party and just start playing would be so much fun.
