I'm curious what your answer is! I think I'd want pixels because I'm terrible at baking, lol!
Question inspired by MagnifiqueNOIR by @BrichibiTweets. You receive a superpower based on a hobby. Would you rather have acid/ exploding cupcakes or pixel energy blasts as your monster fighting ability?

Ooh! Good question!
Question inspired by Yamwine & Nectar by @LPKindred. You go to a food market where you can try a dish incorporating any magical creature. What magical food would you sample?
Question inspired by Root Magic by @EdenRoyce. Choose your opponent. Would you rather face a cursed poppet dropped in a marsh or a witch that can step out of her skin?
