On Magical Items

Ones that I would want, in the order I would prefer them, from most to least, although any would be grand.  As they say, I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.

1. Time-Turner - Imagine sleeping in till noon, having a relaxing breakfast, and then turning back time to 9am to go to class.  Brilliant!  This would immediately improve my life and my grades and just everything.  Really, this is all about oversleeping.  If there were, say, a magic pillow that made me wake up at 7am every day fully rested, that would work too, without the risk of paradoxes/hippogriffs.

2. Seven-League Boots - These are boots that allow the wearer to go 7 leagues with each stride.  That’s 21 miles.  In many ways, these resemble the super powers Teleportation and Flight, reviewed here.  Their application should be obvious.  I hope they are fashionable.

3. Magic Bag - This is a bag that can hold anything, sometimes called a “pocket universe.”  Link has one of these; he keeps his hammer, goron sword, bow, and deku shells in it.  I would use this for everything.  I assume things in there are preserved in the exact conditional they went in, so I’d put sandwiches in there, cold drinks, all my art supplies…  This would have been real handy back when I was moving every 3 months.  I wouldn’t be able to defeat the White Witch or anything, but this is way more useful than a horn or the juice of fire-flowers.

4. Invisibility Cloak - I guess this would be cool, but not much practical use.  I’m not sneaking into the restricted section to look for books on Nick Flannel, you know?  I guess I could walk around in dangerous neighborhoods without fear of being rape-mugged.

Other Possibilities: Power Gloves (lift boulders), Deluminator/Street Darkener (“to siphon away the clarity made from mankind’s bulbs”)
