Yes, it could make things interesting. It might also be interesting
to see if someone that doesn't want the power receives it. Let's say
Nadan gets it. Might his subconscious influence the way he creates a
world? Perhaps he makes elves superior, drow their slaves, and dwarves
a dying race. That could be interesting.
There's a lot of very interesting ideas here. I think everyone
might be surprised by how Magnus reacts to things.
