Functional Magic
Line 56:
* [[Friendless Background]]: Morrigan, not because of her personality, but because of her being perceived as a cursed child. Fortunately, this changed when she enters Nevermoor and meets Hawthorne.
** Implied with the mesmerist Cadence Blackburn. You can't make friends if everyone you meet forgets you.
* [[Functional Magic]]: Wunder. It serves as the in universe equivalent of electricity, but can be manipulated to create public spectacles or buildings. Wundersmiths gain the ability to shape it to their will, and to use their abilities to help out the people around them. Others can dedicate their life to learning a Wretched Art, and use it to create spectacles.
* [[The Gift]]: Everyone in Unit 919 has this, and their prestigious gifts grants them admission into the unit. Cadence is a mesmerist, Farncis is a gastronomist, Mahir is a linguist, Anah a healer, Thaddea a fighter, Hawthorne a [[Dragon Rider]], Lambeth a short-range [[Spider Sense|oracle]], and Archan a [[Impossible Thief|pickpocket]]. In fact, a Gift is required to even attempt the trials to get into the Wunderous Society. {{spoiler|The more elusive gift of being a Wundersmith is granted to Morrigan.}}
* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: Wundersmiths are viewed as this. They were once seen as great and powerful people who uses their abilities for good and to make the community they live in better. That all changed when Ezra Squall started using his abilities for evil, {{spoiler|killed off his fellow Wundersmiths}}, and was barred from entering Nevermoor forever. {{spoiler|Then Morrigan is revealed to be a Wundersmith.}}
