List of TalentsThis is a featured page

A Talent, such as Healing or Cloud Dancing(the ability to affect the weather), is a set of related weaves, some covering hundreds of different magical effects and others composed of only a few weaves very similar in effect.
Generally speaking, a channeller can learn any weave within their Talent, but can only cast or learn relatively low-level weaves in Talents they do not have.
Saidin and Saidar are different forces, and men and women handle the One Power differently. Nonetheless, the result of the weave is the same even if the way in which it is cast is different.

BALEFIRE
Balefire is a very rare Talent of extraordinary destructive power. There is only a single weave in the Balefire Talent but it is enough to grant a channeller enormous-and enormously dangerous-power.

CLOUD DANCING
The Cloud Dancing Talent connects the channeller with the primal forces of weather, allowing him/her to control wind, rain, warmth and even lightning.

CONJUNCTION
The Conjunction Talent deals with the bonds between people. One of the most common Talents among Aes Sedai, its weaves grant the channeler the ability to bond a Warder, detect the location of others, and sense Shadowspawn.

EARTH SINGING
This Talent connects the channeler with the earth. It's weaves grant the channeler the ability to sense minerals, split the earth open and create land shaking earthquakes. It is not a common talent among any of the female channeling traditions.

ELEMENTALISM
This Talent, one of the most common among all channeling traditions, relates to the control of the elements: the creation of light and fire, control over water and the use of hardened air as a tool or weapon.

HEALING
The Talent of Healing involves repairing damage done to the body and mind; the fine work of accellerating and assiting the body's natural healing process. Ironically, though, the same skills apply to damageing the body and mind - hence, a number of weaves within this Talent involve inflicting pain, damage, and death. Fortunately, most of these weaves are rare.

ILLUSION
Weaves of this Talent affect the minds and sense of those who witness them, causing them to experience often spectacular effects.

TRAVELING
The weaves of this powerful Talent allow the channeler to travel great distances in short periods of time - or even instantaneously. Furthermore, some Traveling weaves create bridges to entirely different realms, such as Tel'aran'rhoid

WARDING
Wards protect the channeler or an object or place, from the observation or interference of others. Warding is a very common Talent, especially among the Aes Sedai.
The area encompassed by a warding weave cannot overlap, contain, or be contained within another warding weave.
