Sounds great..... except for the part where you lose all the other stuff that made you happy before you got the cool powers, y'know? It'd take a pretty miserable life not to miss what you can't have anymore.
[Everyone thinks they can have their cake and eat it, too, don't they? But seeing the beauty in the mundane probably makes them realize the beauty in everything they gave up. Flying probably makes them realize they'll never be able to watch the sunrise from those dizzying heights. Those potent senses and mind reading powers probably reminds them that they'll never taste food the way it's meant to be tasted again, never share a lover's touch again. Food and sex are awesome.
It's not hard to imagine that longing, that craving Lestat describes--he feels it himself every day, after all. As much as he knows he'd have been thrilled by the magic he has now as a human, none of it was worth losing his heart. Not even close.]
Oh! Uh, Ursula is a sea witch. She grants wishes for a steep price, but you're pretty screwed if you can't pay up when she comes to collect. She's not too much to worry about, as long as you don't sign any fishy contracts. Maleficent, though..... she's a Dark fairy queen. I've never actually met her, but we keep tabs on her, just in case. I don't know why the other guys aren't scared of her.
[Is he babbling? He kind of feels like he's babbling. But just recognizing the influence over him doesn't mean he can stop. If anything, he looks about as intimidated now just thinking about her as he had when the sheer force of Lestat's presence had been bearing down on him.]
I mean, come on! The Darkness doesn't even seem to touch her. She can control basically everything about it without any ill effect, even lesser Nobodies and Heartless--I heard she even commands demons and hellfire, and her curses are basically unbreakable unless you're playing by her rules. She's destroyed hundreds of worlds. She even totally reshaped one just to suit her. The Keybearer managed to like Capital K Kill her, somehow, and you know what it took for her to come back? A few people remembering her. That's it! How isn't that terrifying?
