In this Quest, you play as a Genie, a normally non-sapient minor spirit bound to an item called a Focus and magically compelled to obey the orders of your item's owner. In your case, your
[] Lamp (No bonuses or maluses)
[] Bottle (+Physical Strength +Common Sense, - Magic, - Tech)
[] Clay Tablet (+Physical Strength, + Magic, - Common Sense, - Tech)
[] Crystal (+ Magic, +Tech, - Common Sense, - Physical strength)
[] Hand Mirror (+ Magic, + Common Sense, - Magic, - Physical Strength)
[] Toolbox (+Tech, + Physical Strength, - Common Sense, - Magic)
[] USB drive (+ Tech, + Common Sense, - physical strength, - Magic)
[] Ludicrously Extravagant Pirate Hat (???)
is owned by the Interdimensional Wishgranting Corporation (abbreviated as WishCorp), which leases you out to various clients across the multiverse.

All Genies have some handy supernatural abilities, which vary by individual. These powers grow over time, and you've
[] been Bound for less than 48 hours (First Client!)(6 points)
[] been Bound for a bit (4-10 Clients)(12 points)
[] been Bound for a few years (50-100 Clients)(20 points, corporate has some inkling of your tendencies)
[] been Bound since before the current management was born! And he's a 300 year old dragon! (over 1,000,000 Clients served!)(50 points, corporate highly suspects your proclivities)

As for your powers, you've put most of your effort into developing
[X](INNATE) Selective Visibility
[X](INNATE) Selective Tangibility
[X](INNATE) Flight
[X](INNATE) Shapeshifting (self-only)

[] Conjuration (2 points)(create temporary items. They disappear in a puff of logic when no longer being observed.)
[] Forgery (1 point, requires conjuration)(Conjure fake documents/money (bills only)/ID. Unlike all other conjurations, these are permanent)
[] Evocation (2 points)(energy shields, various blaster effects, telekinesis)
[] Divination (3 points)(Scrying, a bit of precog, that sort of stuff)
[] Slippery (3 points)(you remain conscious in your item between wishes, and can leave it to wander around with a bit of effort. If corporate finds out you can do this, they'll order you not to, and you won't be able to say no.)
[] Endowment (4 points)(Can grant mortals the ability to use any of your powers. This requires active maintenance.)
[] Blending (4 points)(You have enough control over your shape-shifting and behavior to reliably pass for human)
[] Healing Aura (4 points)(Allows the curing of various ailments within a variable radius of yourself)
[] Delusion (6 points)(Can fool someone's mind so they think they're in some absurd situation. They will act as they normally would in such a situation. This cannot be used on your Client.)
[] Transmutation (6 points)(Can temporarily shape-shift other people)
[] Teleportation (7 points)(Payload Limit of 2 tons, range limit of 100 km)
[] Duplication (12 points)(Enables Riot Quest voting)

Before we begin, there's a couple other things we need to know about you. First, although genies are technically formless and genderless, most have some variety of preferred shape they like to use, yours is
[]

Also, WishCorp has its genies divided into a few categories based on how they get leased out, which one are you in?
[] Wish Bundle (Clients buy a set number of wishes before you are automatically returned to WishCorp's storage facilities)
[] Timed Rental (Clients rent you for a period of time, during which they can boss you around however they want)
[] Lifelong Companion (You're stuck with your current client until they expire, one way or another)

Anyway, you've just been assigned to a Client, and as your Focus is activated you see
[] A gruff-looking fellow with a plaid shirt; you look to be in a log cabin. Various carpentry and woodcutting tools can be seen hanging from the walls.
[] A teenage boy covered in zits; looks like a fairly standard bedroom on 21st century Earth, bed, desktop computer, closet, video-game console setup, piles of dirty laundry, the works.
[] a 6-year old girl wearing a black dress and with a very sparkly wand strapped to her thigh; the room is coated in occult iconography and there looks to be a rudimentary potionmaking kit on the desk.
[] an old man wearing a suit that practically screams "I am a rich asshole, please shoot me". The room supports this, featuring an expensive hardwood floor, shining marble making up the walls, and another genie towards the back of the room who nervously waves to you.

Thanks to the magical compulsion binding you to your item (and granting you individuality) you have no choice but to use your abilities to grant the wishes of your masters, with resistance not being a possibility you can even think of.

...But that would take work!

Much to the dismay of your owners at WishCorp if they ever knew, your particular personality leads you to fulfill your client's wishes in the manner that results in the least effort on your part. What, do they think you can just snap your fingers and tell reality to sod off? That's just not how it works! Needless to say, it's very much in your best interests for corporate to never find out about this particular tendency of yours.
