I wish for everyone alive and yet to be born, to have +1 empathy added to their character stats. (lemm.ee)

Granted. Max stat is 100. You can't tell the difference.

Empathy was not on their character sheets, so everyone gets a new empathy skill set to 1 out of a possible 30.

Everyone now has the lowest non zero empathy score

Granted. A sheet of meaningless paper appears in everyone's possession. This sheet of paper lists stats that have no effect, and among them is empathy.

Everyone gets a +1 empathy but that point needs to be taken from somewhere else. Therefore everyone also gets -1 intelligence.

Granted but their Inland Empire also stat gets set to 10.
