Oh not at all. [viktor's the curious sort anyway, he'd be a hypocrite to judge people for questions. also he thinks that's a rather fair question to ask in the trench. maybe it's typically a magic faux pas.] I've only noticed one ability myself and have done minimal testing of it.
I accidentally bled over a machine I was working on and found I innately knew the issue was a clog in the tubing. It was... hm, not unlike reading the machine, I suppose. Another example of a skillset I already have emerging in the blood magic.
[his reaction to this was a bit of irritation when if first happened, which he now looks back at with some amusement at finding it a slight, as though he needed blood magic for such a thing. ah, pride. still, a useful enough trick that isn't terribly invasive.
well, and viktor thought pal was top notch at hyping up cavaliers. ortus just blew him out of the water and poetically, which is impressive because pal wasn't a slouch in that department.
(he also glances to his empty glass and feels the oddest spike of envy, at such a bond and from birth. not the knighthood really, not all the drama and protection and ennobling, but just the simplicity of a person there. hm, morose and only one beer in. definitely not having another.)
he pushes the glass to the bartender and shakes his head about another, turning to ortus to ask,] How are they chosen? I was under the impression it all starts quite young.
