I prefer Rowlingan Magical Theory to anything else I've seen, so within that range, I'd be mostly specialised in transfiguration, and possibly an animagus.

It depends entirely on the fantasy universe we're in. Depending on which method of physics breaking we're using, I'd want to have a different kind of magic in each instance.

Would you prefer the pizza, or the hamburger?
Que 100 word answer.
I think given the circumstances, that really depends on the pizza or hamburger in question. For example, I often find myself not sufficiently full after a hamburger, thus opting for the pizza instead. The toppings on either meal are also an obvious factor, as well as the quality of the base employed. I would certainly like a balanced meal that would be seen as both tasty and healthy. If you were to further define the elements in the meals, I could give you a more direct answer, but as things are as they are I think perhaps the pizza today.

All I need to do is get you before you happen to cross the gap from pathetic metric magi to arch tinkerer.
The first spell in the boundary mage's spellbook is "Manipulate boundary between not having absolute mastery of boundary magic and having absolute mastery of boundary magic" :P

Which is basically saying there's no gap; you're either a arch boundary mage or not one at all, ohohoho. *singing* ♫ Gap hax is best hax ♪

It probably would take a while to cast that first spell, though, so you would have a window for assassination. Problem would be dealing with the gap mage teaching the apprentice, heh. ... and stopping the master from just casting the spell on the apprentice and then sending them back in time to replace themselves at childbirth.

Also ice magic. That would be pretty cool.

Sort of like this but with more using the ability to see everything on the planet to determine which is a more ethically justifiable choice, as well personally desirable choice.

Well if I could see everything on the entire freaking planet, I would gladdy take that on board. However, this horrible disability called 'reality' is severely imposing on my role playing abilities.

I would probably go with mind control/manipulation. Because why fight when you can simply turn your enemies into your allies, and then have your new allies make you a sandwich?

Reality Warping.

*gets accused of being a mary sue*

Actually, controlled, instantaneous teleportation is good, since if someone mugs you and holds a knife to your face, you can warp behind him and beat him senseless. Would also be nice if venturing into other realities is also part of that magic, too.
