[psnako]

The power to turn things hot I guess.

 

[CRealights]

The power to burn only clothes just like those clothes dissolving slimes.

 

[Esper]

While I can think of plenty of practical applications for stopping time, outside of doing magic tricks, I can't think of any non-criminal use for being able to turn invisible.

 

[mage_goo]

@Esper when in doubt, science

i guess depending on how transparent you can make things, you might be able to make some sort of ultra high speed fiber optics

ZA WARUDO TOKI WO TOMARE

 

[zdarkbrz_816]

being invisible means being blind... right?

 

[goodknife]

being transparent >> bad
perfect camouflage >> good

..but i want an x-ray vision!! (not for lewd thing i swear)

@Esper Is working in espionage for your country considered a crime? You could basically get into anywhere depending on if you don't show up on IR cameras too

 

[Jeirien]

@delciotto Only when they are caught. it is a "lone wolf", "disavowed" etc.

@Esper I am thinking in some job in counter terrorism and hostage situation provided they do not violate privacy laws. There is also non violent nature documentary where they are 100 percent certain the animals behave naturally and not wary of strange ape gawking at them. One problem of nature documentary is some animals run away or wary of them.

 

[BCS]

@zdarkbrz_816 yes! Though I've yet to see that used once in any fantasy setting.

 

[Kaarme]

@Esper That's a pretty good point. I never thought about it. Even if you used it for some specific stuff like crime investigation or working for the country (espionage, counter-espionage), it still wouldn't be enough alone. You'd need the other, acquired skills needed for those kinds of jobs. Above all, it would be dangerous and wouldn't be worth it, unless you really happened to love that stuff. The only time it would be worth it would be during a war if you didn't want to be a coward.

Well, following what Jeirien said, you might find some mediocre, nameless work in the TV/movie business. You could basically manipulate stuff while the camera is running, without getting recorded yourself. It wouldn't be a big deal anymore today because of all the CGI. It would have been considerably bigger decades ago.

 

[Psychronia]

He already has mind-reading, huh?

Yeah, invisibility is a fairly unusable power for law-abiding citizens. Stopping time would be dope though.

 

[sirius180]

@Psychronia it was Saki channeling the ability to him

 

[Esper]

Working as a spy, while sanctioned by one country, would certainly be violating the laws of another country. I guess it's all a matter of perspective though.

 

[undercurses]

manipulate everything you see/touch maybe

@Esper
If you make videos for a living (Youtube), then imagine being able to turn yourself invisible will save yourself some time/money/effort in editing and setting up the lighting.
Imagine not having your own shadow getting in the way. You could also present tiny little trinkets without your big stubby fingers blocking the view.

Other than that, any non-criminal usage would involve needing there to be some sort of adversary
e.g. (counter) espionage, self-defense

 

[Darth_Noox]

“Stopping Time”

I would use that to throw Road Rollers at 17 year old Japanese High schoolers

 

[LTalon]

You could work in a haunted house. The guests would be 100% sure you weren't there beforehand.

 

[Glomoro]

Seems relevant
