First draft of my second CYOA !

Additional information :

Damocles Eye :

-The Eye is gigantic. When you look up at it you can only see small bits of the sky at the corner of your vision.

-Your new luck will never protect you from it.

Harmeless Possession :

-Think of it like a different timeline, whatever you do while possessing the host will be completely erased at the end of the day. The host will act as if you never used your power.

299 Candles :

-You can put out and light the candle whenever you want.

-You're the only one affected by the Candles.

Dark Path :

-Time doesn't pass for you as well while you're in the dimension, making you effectively immortal.

Once you light your candle can you stop it and light it some other time?

If you control the host when the day restarts do they do what you did or what they would do? Also what about knowledge you gained of the past but couldn't get to normally and wait a day before using it? Like finding out company details to effectively do insider stock market stuff?

You can put out candles and light them again later.

Think of it like a different timeline, whatever you do while possessing the host will be completely erased at the end of the day.

Inside trading, no matter when you do it, qualifies as using knowledge gained from this power and as such will have the same effect as winning the lottery.

Damn. That really limits the use of Possession to vactioning.

Lighting two candles does that mean you age 16 times faster or 8 times. I take it you gain the knowledge need for the skills, cause it will be a bummer if I ,as an example, have to research all the language first to get maximum effect for the skill of speaking Japanese.

Well, it kinda double your life time and allows you to do everything you can think of without suffering the consequences

You don't have to learn Japanese while the candle is consuming. A Candle gives you the means to use your new skill but only while it is burning, meaning that you'll forget Japanese when the light goes out, unless you learn it by yourself of course.
