I can run but cannot walk. Without me, your food tastes bland.

I can start a fire, Or flash from a wire. If you want to make your mark, You'll need a big idea, inspired by a blank. What am I?

If you climb over me to obtain something that wasn’t yours, you will need me to unload your ill-gotten asset.

Without a castle I’d be a pond. Without following my path you’d surely come to harm. With walls and water I guard the way, with many watchmen keeping intruders at bay.

The preffered place for those entertainers who need to stick the perfect landing.
