For the hypothetical, you have received/developed a great power that could let you change the course of history, if used properly.
You can imagine its extent, but to make it simpler, let's say it would allow you to control others (only a few people at a time), as well as amass a decent number of competent servants/soldiers and weaponry, with zero preexisting material resources. What do you do with it?
Regardless of this example being purely fictional, it opens the possibility for you to use it strategically in a lot of ways, rather than just with the typical one of "what would you do if you had invisibility/cliché stuff powers".
I also want to know if you think you'd bend your morality ideals.
Like for example, it would permit you to get rid of heinous criminals not caught/cared by justice, but that would still be killing someone. Depending on what your current values are, if you take that route it could be a betrayal of what you thought were your beliefs.
You could also disrupt the statu quo in what relates to politics, create chaos, or help other people create a better world, which thing will be your priority? Regardless of the power being unrealistic for this hypothetical, how you use it must be, so you can't answer with something as simplistic as "make everyone happy and fix everything".
I think your answers could be fun, and if you're a creative Kiwi that wants to go into technicalities, disregard my example and imagine the power that you'd be using and why.
