    The gravel one is gonna have some stupid loophole, like it's one pebble a day, but infinite and free.

    Free gravel appears instantaneously at will, but only in the very center of Ohio

      It does if trying to go through an 8” thick wall.

        Thats honestly a very good thing to point out as well!

        Stairs, or hiking/walking on any kind of broken terrain... fucking snow, ice...

        Yep, there's a whole ton of more situations where a blink ability could be very practically useful.

        How many times have you been about to eat shit, and thought "If only I could fall an additional 7" and really just fuck my day up"

            I feel like everyone is underestimating 5. It's any toaster. Make a killer robot that happens to have the ability to make toast and you've got a remote control death bot.

            I'd make a whole set of devices that happen to also be toasters. Why not add some heating elements and springs to an elevator, a car, a plane?

              1. It still allows you to determine whether containers are empty, which is situationally useful.

                  If there are no limits of scale or delivery, i think it's OP.

                  cut me off? I'm gonna follow you at a disance and summon 50 tons of gravel around your car.

                  File an HOA complaint on me? You're going to need a bobcat to find your front door.

                  Can i summon it anywhere without going there? You know how hard it is to get rid of gravel?

                  And do you create matter from nothing or do you relocate preexisting gravel?

                    It could actually be insanely overpowered depending on interpretation.

                    "Instantly see inside any empty container"

                    What does it mean to "see" inside a container? If that just means "know what the contents are" (i.e
                    nothing) then it's limited, but if it means literally see with remote sight, that's much more useful - depending on this next part...

                    What does "inside" mean? Does it mean we can only observe the interior, or can we look out from the interior as if our point of view occupies it?

                    And finally, what constitutes an "empty container"? Is a container still a container if it doesn't have a lid? Or do its sides need to be opaque? By most interpretations, a glass with no liquid would easily fit the definition of an empty container...

                    At its most favourable then, this power gives you the ability to remote surveil any location where a common, everyday empty glass could be found. Very powerful indeed.

                      Also, 7 inches are generally enough to teleport through a wall

                            That is exactly what I though. There are benefits to this one for sure.

                              Could be useful, but it says nowhere that your clothes will teleport with you.

                              Getting your tackle out; a war tradition almost as old as bonking someone on the head with a metal object.

                              Less practiced by armed militias and moreso 'crackhead locals' these days; it remains an incredibly effective tactic.

                                I'm thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there's always dust and air).

                                Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

                                Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

                                It allows you to remotely see anywhere in the world where a transparent container (like a glass) is.

                                  Free gravel, then sell it. Just make sure to not summon too much gravel so the price doesn't go down.

                                    Free for you, not the people you sell it to.

                                        1. Sheer horror. You'll never be able to eat these again.
                                        2. This has been brought up before. Gravel isn't cheap. This is basically infinite money.
                                        3. If used continuously, you're basically The Flash.
                                        4. Just a bad idea unless you can put it inside your existing nose for double the sniff-sensitivity.
                                        5. Okay, that's just fun.
                                        6. Again, used continuously, this is the fountain of youth. You'll still die of old age though.
                                        7. Only useful under very specific circumstances. Also, define a "container".
                                        8. Unless the Khitan civilization knew things we don't, this isn't useful at all.
                                        9. Fast as he is now or when he was alive?

                                          If you look inside (even using magic ability), it will be predicted and then it will be empty. It will be even harder for you not to look.
