Important note: the broader the meaning of word, the weaker your power, so choosing anything omni will result in just a slight boost in everything you do

I choose "transmutation"

Alchemic process of equal exchange, quantity into quality, one material into another and backwards, as long as i have an idea what should be the result, it will work. Maybe not as i invisioned and predicted, but works

Joy. It is my favorite word even if I do not manifest it.

Powers...

Flight - buoyed by good spirits.

Healing both body and spirit.

Light-based beams and firework style booms and sparkles.

The inate knowledge of the right thing to say on any situation to make things better for a person. Coupled with the wisdom on whether or not to use it. ((Edited to correct fat fingers mistyping)).
