    ...Nnno, permanently ignoring the laws of physics to such an insanely massive degree is something you should really specify up front. This isn't a case of loopholes or overliteralism, it's a case of specifying a really bad idea in the first place.

    If you said "I wish I was on fire!", would you expect the wish to realize you actually want the powers of the Human Torch?

    Nowhere in there is any elaboration at all.

    Just because your mind didn't think of the surrounding circumstances doesn't mean reality won't.

    So you mean it should be: I wish the world was 100,000x bigger without negative effects from gravity?

    Or just phrase it better: "I wish the world had ten thousand times it's current habitable space", will leave the specifics up to the power. Are we on a Dyson Sphere? Are we in a system of expanding shells? Multiple planets connected by a ring of hyperspace elevators? Magic dimensional links that apply when walking between areas under set conditions?

    Who knows? Whatever works, apparently.

    I think I'd turn myself into a Vampire. Not one of those generic ones either, but a "Lord of the Vampires" type that can't ever be truly destroyed. Then, I would take the earth and make certain only good Vampire films got made.

    I'd probably give myself a power that isn't reality warping since the rules say nothing about that. I'm tempted to do the Purple Man thing...
