Unusual Abilities (Wheel Of Time)
Over the course of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, individuals appear with supernatural abilities that are seemingly unconnected to the One Power and the ability to channel. While some of the characters that do possess these abilities can channel, it does not seem to be a prerequisite. Those with these abilities include Wolfbrothers, Dreamwalkers, Treesingers, among others. These abilities are occasionally referred to in the novels as 'Talents,' though, as the term is also used to refer to special abilities related to the One Power, it is avoided for clarity in this article.

Famous quotes containing the words unusual and/or abilities:
“The sea is very old.
The sea is the face of Mary,
without miracles or rage
or unusual hope,
grown rough and wrinkled
with incurable age.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
