I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.

              never be bored.
fall asleep instantly.
pee and poop teleported straight into the toilet.
grow fingernails back quickly.
know how to do anything, but lose all memory of the thing when trying to do it, tell anyone, or record it.
ability to shapeshift, but your bones and muscles are going to hurt like hell. You think breaking a bone is bad? Try having all the bones in your face rearrange themselves.

Breaking bones actually doesn't hurt much. If it does, it's probably the other parts of the injury that hurt. When I broke my foot I thought nothing of it until I tried to walk. It was not successful. It didn't hurt at all from my memory though.

I would chalk that up to adrenaline. Also the pain depends on where the break is. If the muscles around the broken bone are spasming, then the two halves of the bone are going to be grinding against each other. That's why we use a splint in first aid.

Not adrenaline in my case. I was just messing around with friends and one fell and landed on my foot. It didn't hurt at all from my recollection, but I couldn't walk. But yeah, it totally depends on where it is and what kind of a break it is. The bone breaking part itself though doesn't really hurt. What it causes can hurt and the stuff that causes it can hurt.
