Talent

A talent, in Overlord, is an innate ability that roughly one person in two hundred in the New World is born with. Talents sit alongside martial arts, wild magic and runecraft as powers that had no place in Yggdrasil. They are fixed at birth, cannot be changed, and cannot be taught to anyone else. Most who have one hold something unique, though the same talent does turn up twice: Arche and Fluder Paradyne both see the power and tier of an arcane magic caster simply by looking at them. A talent has nothing to do with aptitude in the ordinary sense and can land on someone with no way to use it, so most people think little of them and count it luck when a talent happens to suit their work. Rare and powerful ones exist, such as the ability to use any magic item regardless of its restrictions, though these usually open up only at a certain level or under a specific condition.
