maybe this is just me but it seems like this should be attached to any or all of the temptation powers as this would be just that. not to mention that desire is perhaps the least self - regulated of all internal human passions. for example say that I desire all the wealth in world and am sufficiently desperate to make this happen. I would obtain said wealth but everyone else would lose every grain of wealth. that in turn would lead to global anarchy as people tried to figure out what happened and who was behind it. maybe this is an exaggeration but even so it is, I hope, illustrative of the kind of shenanigans this power could lead to. not to mention desire is almost necessarily dependent on ones biological and emotional state and power derived from those sources is rarely filtered as higher order processes are. for example say a criminal got this kind of power. he would be able to commit crimes of a scale that would have been impossible before and would essentially be impossible to stop unless they actually desired retribution.
