Difference between revisions of "Smedry Talent"

A time talent is something like Grandpa Smedry's ability to arrive late to things. A space talent is like Kaz's ability to "get lost" and then get found again somewhere else (teleportation). A physical-world talent is like Australia's ability to changer her appearance. A knowledge talent is like Sing's ability to trip when there's going to be danger.
 
The more powerful, or 'pure' a talent is, the closer it's placed to the center of the wheel. Talents that are vague are more powerful than talents that are specific. For instance, Australia can "wake up ugly" (change her appearance) for a short time after she wakes up, provided she fell asleep thinking about someone. It's very specific, so it's close to the edge of the wheel. Other Smedry's in history had been able to change their appearance whenever thethey wanted, not just when the woke up, so they would be placed closer to the center.
 
When Kaz explains the wheel to Alcatraz they get into a discussion about where the breaking talent that Alcatraz has would be placed. Kaz said that's a matter of dispute. Some say it's just a physical-world talent, others say it's something more that affects all four areas (there's legends of Alcatraz the First breaking time and space). Alcatraz later finds an Incarnate wheel made by the Incarna themselves while in Alcatraz the First's tomb, and the Breaking Talent is placed at the very center of the wheel.
