Is that so? Parhaps a talent is the wrong word then.

I'm sure the demigoddess in question (A daughter of Yinkin) would have trouble learning sorcerous or spirit magic, so I guess that means she's naturally consentrated in theism. If natural magic fits the HQ paradigm better than talent, then that's the word to use.
What I mean is she has an ability called "shadow walking", that is her personal magical power she can develop, and if she get's worshipped her cultist can emulate as a feat.
