    Ability to stop time.

    As soon as you stop time, everything will go pitch black. The photons which refract off everything will be absorbed by your eyes instantaneously.

    Assuming you could still see, it would be freezing everywhere as the heat would dissipate the moment you touched it.

    Assuming you could still see, and wouldn’t freeze to death, if you were to unfreeze time, the human-shaped vacuum tube you created while walking from point A to B would collapse violently, killing you, and anyone else standing close to it.

    This also assumes that with time stopped, you can push microscopic particles around. If not, then any movement at all will make every molecule around you act as radiation, and and dust will feel like tiny razor blades, ripping through your body.

    Also, the ability to stop time doesn’t guarantee the ability to start it again.

      Lack of light is something that does come up with the History Monks in Discworld. Although they only slow down time, so they can see things, just very dimly lit.
