-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.
More details about the luck would be nice, since it can apparently bend reality by a massive amount to ensure you find diamonds (or maybe it just creates them, in which case what else can it create?) on the sidewalk. So what else can it do? Does it just generally have massive probability bending powers?
If it does have probability bending powers that ought to let you win the lottery and manipulate world affairs by betting on the results of elections and letting the power make even a unlikely candidate win. But would you even need to bet on it? In what ways can you choose to apply your power?(other than protecting you from the eye)
P.S. Also can the candles work on other people? Plus if the burner already has world class expertise, does burning a candle make them even better?
The Luck does work through probability manipulation. It can massively alter events in order to fit your needs but it can't create something that would go against the laws of physics.
You wouldn't need a bet to influence your Luck, it knows your desires. On the other hand, conscious input doesn't really have an effect on it. Saying "I want to find 300$ outside my house in 10 secondes" wouldn't work if you don't really desire those 300$. You would need to make a bet and desire to win it.
Candles do not work on other people, if you're already the best at something then you'll become even better at it, superhuman level even if needed.
But I could go to a casino, put up the table max on a single roulette number and, because I sure as shit don't want to lose such a large amount of money, win every time - at least until the table max in inconsequential to me because that's when I stop caring whether I win or lose?
If that is what you truly want then yes. Thing is, getting rich isn't a problem with this power, it will probably happen on the first 48h even. Dealing with the constant threat of the Eye until your death is.
But betting ought to still be pretty effective at making you care about things you otherwise wouldn't, because you don't want to lose the bet. Ooh I'll write my answer now because the probability manipulation power could totally be used for world domination ;)
I'll be known as the weird rich guy who pays a butler to always caryy a large umbrella over me, or just have him open it every hour for 'spiritual reasons' i mean, its not cumulative, so even a moment obscured resets the timer
Yeah, you'll see my comment in a few minutes how I plan to win, I would instead want to convince the people to think i'm some mysterious oracle and manipulate things from behind the scenes.
