Frankly, I could use a bit of “The Wonder Touch.”


I can only assume the “magne power ring” has the ability to summon founding A-Ha member Magne “Mags” Furuholmen. Or else it’s a typo and it cause mange, which would be terrible. Or perhaps it’s a manga power ring with the ability to make teenagers park ‘n’ read in bookstore aisles.

“Sense extension” is also intriguing, like, I don’t know, being able to smell around distant corners, or hear things like aphids screaming. Common sense extension would be practical, because who couldn’t think of a few people who could use a little of that.

Also, “Natural super powers” seems a bit self-contradictory.

  1. I wish it summoned MAGS!!! A-ha are my all time favorite band! You must be somewhat of a fan to reference someone so obscure! Either way, an a-ha reference is always a good thing!!
