Wish

*”Summoning fourth the almighty power of the cosmos, one whom casts wish will have the multiverse at their fingertips. The only thing in your way, is your lack of creativity”*

## Usage

### Users

* Arthur Steele (Through The Moon card)

**Wish** sometimes referred to in Convergence as **Composing** is a powerful 9th level+ power that allows the caster to bring their own desires to reality.

Wish is not available as a tech-power, due to the limitations of nano-bot generated powers. Wish has previously been used through two different methods.

The first, is through The Deck. Specifically, a card called "The Moon", which summons an apparition of a female humanoid that grants the user a number of wishes. Due to the nature of The Deck, the wish power granted through The Moon is Primordial power.

The second, is through contact with The Gate. If an individual holds one or more of The Continuance and makes physical contact with the gate, they will gain the power to "Compose" at will. The more Continuance the individual holds, the more powerful their composition will be.

## Notable Uses

### Arthur Steele's First Wish

In July 2206, Arthur Steele sat alone in his room. He turned his attention towards his deck, now reset due to his recent resurrection. He began pulling cards, hoping to see what would happen. The fourth card he pulled, summoned an apparition of a humanoid female wearing an ethereal purple dress. Standing at 10ft tall, the woman told Arthur of her power to grant wishes. Arthur was granted two.

Immediately, Arthur remembered that the previous card he had pulled, had lowered his intelligence. He used his first wish to restore his intelligence to what it once was.

> *"I wish that my intelligence returned to what it was before I pulled the previous card"*
>
>

Immediately, the woman snapped her fingers, and Arthur's intelligence returned to normal.

### Arthur Steele's Second Wish

Immediately after making his first wish, Arthur wasted no time in using his second and final wish. Seeing the power of the first wish work as intended, he took very little time to think about the wish he would make. The one thing he has desired for over a decade now.

Arthur sought to change the outcome of the Second Great War. He sought to turn the stalemate into a total Galactic Union victory.

> *"I wish the Galactic Union defeated the Zultan Empire in the Second Great War"*
>
>

The Moon female asked Arthur if he was sure this is what he wanted, to which Arthur with little hesitation responded in the affirmative. As before, she snapped her fingers and the timeline changed in an instant. With every individual on board the SS. Eastwood waking up on a new ship in a new timeline, with only the members of TASKFORCE retaining their memories of the previous timeline. This wish created the "Alternate Timeline".

### Arthur Steele's "alternative" Second Wish

After TASKFORCE realise the side effects of Arthur Steele's Second Wish include the timeline coming apart and members disappearing from existence, they find a way to undo the wish. Using Precursor time travel technology, they would go back in time to the moment Arthur Steele makes his second wish, and get him to change his mind.

However, Arthur Steele had different plans. He liked the new timeline for the most part, and hatched a plan to fix only the reality collapse but maintain the new timeline. So he instructed his past self to add stipulations to his wish that would ensure that reality wouldn't collapse. The new second wish created "The New Timeline", which is the current timeline as of Chapter 3.

> *"I wish that the Galactic Union defeated the Zultan Empire in the Second Great War, and that TASKFORCE would still be founded and Azaria would live"*
>
>

With a snap of her fingers, the new timeline was created. Future and past Arthur and the other members of TASKFORCE merged with one another and replaced their version in the new timeline.
