The '''Epics''' are a group of magical beings on [[Earth (Reckoners)|Earth]]. They start appearing around the same time as the satellite [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]]. Every Epic has a weakness that invalidates their powers. When Epics gain their powers, they go through a period called the Rending, where they feel an overwhelming urge to destroy.

; Transference Epics
* Transference Epics can give others their powers. These Epics are also known as Gifters.{{book ref|steelheart|13}} Gifter Epics are able to give a portion of their powers to people within a certain range of them and for a limited time. The power they give away is not affected by their weakness. While gifting powers to others, Gifter Epics lose some of the corruption and desire to do evil that is associated with Epics. The more power that an epic is gifting (the more people being gifted to), the greater the reduction in evil intent. Gifters cannot give their powers to another Epic.
