   Congrats, San. You have a Single Wish. You must use it now. You had no prior warning or planning for it. You will lose all your prior political capital in exchange for this Wish. If you try to use any of your prior accomplishments to try … anything, the ENTIRE WORLD will point at your Wish and say you already got what you wanted for what you have accomplished up to this point. If you don’t Wish for EXACTLY what you want, you might never get it again.

   Oh, and the majority of everyone you meet will criticize your choice NO MATTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE. They will doubt your political/economic skill FOREVER, even if the Wish benefitted them personally, because of inane details that matter greatly to them and no one else.

   On top of which, everyone is looking at your stunned expression right now. Get yourself to grips THIS INSTANT, or the main thing everyone is going to remember is how LONG it took you to make the Wish that HAS to be your heart’s greatest desire, benefit the public (and noble) Good, change the world for the better, and not involve Eldor at all.

   Yes. Well, she can still use her accomplishment to show she’s qualified or something, but as far as rewards go, this is it.

   It’s not THAT bad. Sure, some wishes would be hard to get right, but there are things she can get good enough to get people benefiting from it satisfied.

   The best excuse for that is that she actually has two ideas and took her some time to choose. No matter if that’s true or not.

   What’s worse is that she needs to be careful about it being really about the world and not personal. She certainly has ambitions. She would like to ask for some high political position. But she can’t ask for that now unless she can frame it REALLY well as being for good of public.
