A Smedry Talent is a form of magic where the user affects the world in odd and quirky ways. The only people known to possess the talents are the members of House Smedry and their spouses. The Talents are notoriously hard to control, and are known to 'get away' from their users, often to dramatic and hilarious effect.

Talents

  • Allekatrase and Alcatraz can break things, this is known as the Dark Talent as it is very dangerous and hard to control
  • Leavenworth arrived at things late
  • Sing trips over easily
  • Australia can wake up looking incredibly ugly
  • Quentin speaks nonsense (possibly predicting the future)
  • Kaz gets lost very easily
  • Attica and Shasta lose things
  • Pattywagon says inappropriate things at the worst time
  • Aydee is really bad at maths
