Reply to comment by USPO-222 in [WP]The Wishmaker's Key. It's like the Monkey's Paw, but instead of just flat out granting your wish (and doing it in the worst way possible), it only opens up the most reasonable opportunity to get what you wished for. by xxDubbz

Now the question is, how would such a device grant immortality? Would it hand over the secrets to make one immortal? Send you on a accident that would make you such? Make you famous enough to live on forever through your work should immortality be impossible?

It would probably create a scientific breakthrough somewhere, and you'll be given an opportunity as a test subject for an experiment for some type of drug or something that prevents aging.

Keep in mind it's also able to grant supernatural/magical things, but it will do so in the closest way to reality.

So if someone were to wish for say, something ridiculous as a catgirl girlfriend, the key would lead the current owner to meeting one and the 2 somehow hitting it off?

Gee, wouldn't that be terrible /s

Catherine walks into our protagonists office and with a smile introduces herself.
"Hi, I'm Cat. I'm new here," she says...

Fuck it, close enough :)

Catherine also has between 2 and 7 cats and has cat ear headphones for when she streams on Twitch on the weekends.

Either that or the beanie she always wears to work is hiding the fact she actually has cat ears.

I mean, you'd have to find a way to hit it off since it doesn't outright grant it but yeah pretty much

It would still generate the opportunity is what I meant, I should have clarified, my bad. It just opens to door to what you want, whether the door is an actual door or something less concrete than that, and you just have to pull the other half of the weight.

Might be a bit but I might have a story based on this in a moment.
