I often don't. The discoverable ones are the able self-teachers.

@Heroic

So there could easily be numerous users who fly under the radar.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not to my knowledge. But there's not a large enough sample size of people to tell.

@Heroic

How do you discover new ones?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Assigned even paints an inaccurate picture. But yes, there's not really any identifiable, unifying characteristic.

@Heroic

Are any groups excluded entirely?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That is the one thing that seems genuinely arbitrary, in its entirety. Isolated exceptions exist, of course.

@Heroic

Compatibility is randomly assigned to all individuals?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

A large number of them. Less are born with the affinity these days than there used to be. It’s incredibly rare. So as many die to the broad dangers of Existence at large, and to other users themselves, there’s not really replacements, as cold as that phrasing sounds.

@Heroic

What factors contribute to being born with the affinity?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

A dwindling population of users and mass loss of knowledge and history.

@Heroic

For any particular reason?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It’s more likely there was regression, unfortunately.

@Heroic

How did that occur?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Right now, my pure focus will be to organize the takedown of Garsun.

@Heroic

Have there been significant advances since Garsun's era?

I won’t ever ask anyone outside of the collective of doyens, and occasionally Ridge, since he’s trusted family and knows just about everything that happens anyway. But I won’t turn you down either.

@Heroic

Doyens? And please, feel free to give me a call at any time.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Don’t you think a setting like that is a bit dangerous for you right now?

@Audacious

That would depend on the request. I like to consider myself useful beyond pure combat.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Hard to say. He was a more than capable doyen, a few thousand years ago. I suppose we’ll see if modern masters are any better or worse than they were then.

@Heroic

If I can be of any aid to your team, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Despite my unfamiliarity with the elements, technology happens to be one of my domains.
