Technique versus ability[]

Technique follows talent—talent shapes technique. Talent: innate ability. Technique: skill or learned ability.

Often confused with each other.

While innate ability usually cannot be transferred from one warrior to another (Ilena's arm being an exception),^[3] technique can.

A technique, once established, can be learned by a different type of warrior, with different baselines and ability.
