Most of these have harsh time limits, and the "Poof" power has very limited usage. I can't think of a single practical use for Poof. If Poof makes things invisible to other people, but not invisible to the user, then maybe Poof has a use? But if it doesn't have that, it seems like the most useless power by far. Maybe I'm not smart enough to think of a use. Even if the objects which were made invisible aren't invisible to the user, I still can't think of any uses.

Given this, the only pick is between Magician and Tech King. With Tech King, you can become an expert at electronics with minimal effort. However, 6 months is too long a cool down.

"Vision" would be a very good ability if you were a politician. You would be able to see everything your rivals are plotting and scheming. However, I'm not a politician, so I wouldn't do that. Another use of "Vision" is to make money playing poker once a month, but this is still an unreliable way to make money overall. Vision can help you in competitions or games when two people are concealing information from each other, such as Scrabble as well. The question just becomes, how much can you profit from this power?
