'Running fast' isn't mythical? Mastakos would be surprised.
Sorry, i don't agree. If you successfully heroquested to acquire
Brother Deer's ability to run fast, i'd say that you'd get a directed
increase in your mundane "Run Fast" ability. If you heroquested to
gain Jumping Rabbit's "Escaping Jump" i'd say you get "Escaping Jump"
as a separate talent.
I merely said that you can heroquest to gain multiple masteries in
mundane abilities, and that it is a very efficient way to do so. Not
that was the sole purpose of heroquesting.
