== Talents ==
* [[Allekatrase]] and [[Alcatraz Smedry|Alcatraz]] can break things{{book ref|a2|14}}{{book ref|a1|3}}. This is known as the '''Dark Talent''' as it is very dangerous and hard to control{{book ref|a2|14}}.
* [[Leavenworth Smedry|Grandpa Smedry]], Alcatraz's grandfather, has the power to arrive late to appointments. As such, he is always running behind the clock. But his power also allows him to arrive late to other things, like bullets, which always miss him{{book ref|a1|4}}, and his blood can arrive late to wounds so that he doesn't bleed to death{{book ref|a1|16}}. In his own words "I've been arriving late to my own death for years now." However, as seen in [[The Shattered Lens]], he only needs to think that he will be late. Alcatraz tells him that he needs to be at [[Tuki Tuki]] by midnight or the war will be lost. Leavenworth Smedry, interpreting that as a deadline to arrive late to, speeds up tremendously in order to arrive at the battle by 12:30.{{book ref|shattered lens|???}}
* [[Sing Sing Smedry|Sing]] can trip and fall to the ground.{{book ref|a1|4}} His tripping is often an early-warning sign of danger and can also be used to create diversions{{book ref|a1|7}}.
* [[Pattywagon Smedry|Pattywagon]] can say inappropriate things at awkward moments{{book ref|a3|4}}.
* [[Folsom Smedry|Folsom]] and [[Himalaya Smedry|Himalaya]] can dance really poorly. The dancing most often appears to take the form of violent fighting{{book ref|a3|16}}.
* [[Aydee Ecks Smedry|Aydee]] is really bad at math. The catch is that the universe warps to fit her bad math. If she thinks there's four of something and there's really only three, then another one will appear. This is confirmed to be a space talent., Shenot can'ta creatematter thingstalent; thatshe don'tmoves exist,the but"new" movesobjects themfrom aroundsomewhere else in spacethe world to fitwhere hershe mathcurrently is.{{book ref|a4|Four Teens and a Pickle}}
* [[Alcatraz Smedry VII|Alcatraz VII]] can make annoying noises at inappropriate times. This causes distraction, allowing him to win many [[Oculator]] duels.
* [[Libby Smedry|Libby]] can spill copious amounts of water on the floor when she is washing the dishes. She allegedly "single-handedly ended the drought of Kabreeze during the fourth-third century- and she did it while keeping all their dishware sparkling clean."

The Incarnate wheel is a way of breaking the talents up into groups. Our first introduction to it is when Kaz explains it to Alcatraz in the second book. It's basically a circle divided into four quadrants for the different talents--Time, Space, Physical-World, and Knowledge.
 
 
== Lenses ==
Parallels have been made between [[Silimatic]] [[Glass]] and, [[Lens]]es, and the different Talents the Smedry family has. For example:
* [[Aydee Ecks Smedry|Aydee]]'s talents are similar to [[Transporter's Glass]]{{book ref|shattered lensa4|fourFour teensTeens and a picklePickle}}
* [[Australia Smedry|Australia]]'s talent has a similar function to [[Disguiser's Lenses]]{{book ref|shattered lensa4|fourFour teensTeens and a picklePickle}}
* [[Alcatraz]]'s talent is similar to the [[Shatterer's Lenses]]{{book ref|shattered lensa4|fourFour teensTeens and a picklePickle}}
* [[Kaz]]'s talent has a function similar to the [[Traveler's Lenses]]{{book ref|shattered lensa4|fourFour teensTeens and a picklePickle}}
* [[Leavenworth Smedry]]'s talent does something similar to the [[Educator's Lenses]]{{book ref|shattered lensa4|fourFour teensTeens and a picklePickle}}
* [[Quentin Smedry]]'s talent is similar to the [[Oracle's Lenses]], as they are both confusing, but each tells the future
*[[Folsom]] and [[Himalaya]]'s talents may be connected with the [[Warrior's Lenses]]
 
The [[Incarna]] created the [[Smedry]] line as a power source for their glass and culture. The Smedrys can charge any kind of glass with this power inside them. How Talents are similar to lensesLenses is not a coincidence, and might be a way to funnel off a Smedry's energy. Once the Talents left, the Smedry Power had nowhere to go, eventually building up to the point where every piece of glass touched by a Smedry was over-energized. How the Incarna people gave out Smedry Talents is still unknown, but likely involves the [[Worldspire]].{{book ref|dark talent|18}}
