If there was any weird power I would want it would probably be spiritual necromancy (ghost calling if you will). That is I would want the same power as the sorcerer/necromancer that Swift describes in Gulliver's Travels. The ability to recall the souls of the dead to have discussions with would be a chance and opportunity with virtually limitless potential. That being said I do not think I would go as far as said necromancer (that is calling enough ghosts to fill the ancient the roman senate) did for Mr. Gulliver but still the chance to speak with departed souls from virtually any period in history, I can't imagine anyone passing up such a chance. In particular I would call up people whose existence is either suspect (ie may or may not have really existed) or little known. If history tells one anything it is that while it is the big personalities that are remembered it is the many “little people” behind the scenes that really make things happen. Now by whatever name one labels such power it always comes with a cost so I would need to be in a place suitably bounteous to provide the mystical price such feats would require. In addition isolation would be paramount (if only so those I called forth would not interact with too many other beings and thus cause any more disruption then would was absolutely necessary).
