I've been thinking about skills and teaching and that everyone has something they can do really well.

[Harry looks a bit sheepish making a network post, but when he's got an idea rattling around in his head, he needs to get it out. He's getting a bit better about thinking before speaking, but it's going to be a while before it becomes a habit.]

So, I was wondering, what can you do? What's your talent? And what can you teach? And, if you can teach something, would you be willing to share it with the rest of us here?

I can do magic and I'm not great at it, but I'd be happy to work with anyone else who wants to learn together.

Generally, people use a wand and an incantation, or sometimes a potion. Wandless and voiceless magic are possible, but rarely done because they're really tricky and not everyone has the ability.

If you want to know how magic itself works, I haven't a clue. It just does?

An apt description.
Sometimes it's better to let the forces of the universe do their own thing, undeterred by a human compulsion to rip it apart and find what makes it tick.
I prefer wands, myself.

[thebreakingwave]

What sort of magic do you favour?

[seered]

I am unsure as to whether my powers were gifted to me at the appropriate time or if the ability was inherent.
Whatever the case, I seem to have a predisposition for a kind of clairvoyance.

[thebreakingwave]

I've known people with that skill. It's not anything I've got, not by a longshot, but I know a little about it.

[seered]

Perhaps you could answer a semi-related question, then.
Have you found your powers to be curtailed aboard this ship?
Were you able to perform certain feats back home that you cannot here?

[thebreakingwave]

Not that I've come across. That's upsetting.

[seered]

Less upsetting and more curious.
It makes sense, of course.
If an ability could, in some way, explain our situation or remove us from these circumstances entirely, the ability is dampened.
Ominous, don't you think?

[thebreakingwave]

It makes sense, but it bothers me to think that someone or something could cut a person off from one of their senses.

[seered]

It seems to be the reality of this place.
The most we can do is adapt and not let it be a hindrance.
That's what it wants.
