I wish I could control the weather.
Granted, but it only applies to environments about 100 meters wide in diameter above you, in a cylindric zone. Furthermore, it requires a complex understanding as to how weather actually works, and what you're manipulating are the mechanics that set the desired weather manipulation in motion.
For instance, if it was drought season, and you wished to summon rain, then you had to telepathically evaporate and send the water vapor up to where you needed it to go. Have the right air pressure and temperatures awaiting the water vapors at the right altitude, and even still, you have no control over the weather outside of your zone of control; even if you were patient and knowledgeable enough to successfully cultivate a rain cloud, outside wind influences could still gust the rainfall off course...seeing as how your cylindric control zone is strictly adhered to a 50 meter radius fixed on you, you would have to compensate for outside windage if you wanted the rain to fall where you wanted.
On the bright side, you never have to worry about getting struck by lightning ever again, and you're always safe from tornadoes as long as you're aware one is coming and you have time to prepare.
I wish the first Deus Ex was released with a modern Anniversary Edition re-release where literally the only thing that changed about the game was improved animation, texturing, rendering, lighting, all visual elements of the game were perfected and modernized.
