The Unruinable Wish

This is like My Wish Is Ruined, but we are collaborating on a single wish to make it impossible to ruin. You post a wish, and the next poster has to ruin it, like in MWIR, but then the next poster has to post a new wish that expends on the one above but immune to the ruin above. If it's your turn to grant a wish and you can't think of any way to ruin it, you must pay a number of rublits equal the number of posts in the wish divided by 10 rounded up to each person who contributed to the wish (both wishers and ruiners) excluding yourself. Since hardly anyone is using TBG currencies any more, just ignore that part. You may then start a new wish.

Rules:
[list=*]
[li]You may not change the base wish. If the base wish was "I wish for faster internet", you can't change that to "I wish for a faster computer". You could, however, say "I wish for faster internet and my computer is fast enough to take advantage of it" if the previous ruin mentioned that. You can only change the base wish if you pay the fee as described above.[/li]
[li]Your ruin must be relevant to the wish. If someone says "I wish for a computer", you can't just say "Granted, but you die", because it's not relevant. You could, however, say "Granted, but it electrocutes you and kills you" because that is something relating to the wish. And if it was "I wish for a computer and I don't die", you can say "Granted but someone else dies" because the wish specifically mentions death.[/li]
[li]Your new wish must be relevant to the previous ruin in the same way, and should resist all previous ruins for this wish chain.[/li]
[li]The specific ruins "Granted, but it's only [small percentage - e.g. 0.0001%] more/faster/stronger/etc", "Granted but only for [small amount of time - e.g. 0.0001 milliseconds]", and "Granted, but in a parallel universe" are not allowed because they are unimaginative and could apply to anything[/li]
[li]Rating the wish or ruin above you is not required, but recommended[/li]
[li]Be imaginative. I may add to the list above if the same ruins are used over and over again. [/li]
[li]No double posting[/li]
[li]No flaming - I'd recommend to not post about sonic or kerbals[/li]
[/list]

Example:
Person 1: I wish for a sandwich
Person 2: Granted but it's poisoned
Person 3: I wish for a sandwich which is safe for human consumption
Person 4: Granted but it tastes bad
Person 5: I wish for a good-tasting sandwich that is safe for human consumption
And so on.

The next poster will start off the first wish chain.

Granted, but your feet grow too big for them. They used to be your size, however.

(@PPTBG you're meant to do a grant or a wish, depending on what's next, not both in one turn)
