Talent is power individuals possess which gives them special abilities, these Talents are rather rare to come by but almost everyone can awaken their own Talent. For a complete list of Talents, please refer to List of Talents.

Definition
A Talent is the manifestation of a person's skills, interest or willpower in the form of a power specialized to that person's needs or skills. The name "Talent" itself originates from the fact that the abilities are able to increase someone's potential or assist them in their interests. Because of the diverse range of Talent abilities, some talents which appear weak at first glance may be extremely powerful under the right user or circumstances.

Because the Talent is made from someone's skills, talents can take form of any shape and size though a majority of talents are bound to its user. Most talents cannot harm its user. A few talents are also able to be bound to an object or objects which lets them use the object as an extension to their Talent abilities.

Some Talent Users are called "Savants" due to their exceptionally powerful Talents, one of them being Hokusai Katsushika.

Acquiring a Talent
Talent abilities can be acquired mainly by two methods. The first method is by blood, where a Talent is immediately awakened because of their lineage, with people related by blood being able to transfer their Talent ability to the other only once. The second method is by training or focus, most Talent abilities are created this way and slowly honed to be well suited to their user's needs. Though rumors claim that there is a third method to acquiring Talent abilities by exposing themselves to sheer trauma.

Conceptual Item
Conceptual Item (概念項目) are items created through Talents. These materials are similar in structure to actual materials that can be found on Earth, however these Conceptual Items have a different ionic compound structure to those regular materials. This is why Talents like Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy can tell apart objects created by Talents and naturally occurring metals.
