Oversleep Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Preface: I only just started reading book three, Knights of Crystallia. If my questions are answered further down the line, please just say RAFO. If they're not, please say so. We know that if someone marries a Smedry, they got their spouse's Talent. Like for example Shasta got Attica's Talent. But what if two Smedries marry? Do they get each own's Talents in addition to the ones they were born with? And what about polygamy? For example, if there would be two Smedries and a non-Smedry in the marriage, would the non-Smedry get both? One of them? Some combination of them? (I blame Quirk mechanisms from My Hero Academia for instilling these questions in my mind) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 We don't get answers to any of those questions. We don't even get to know if a divorce takes the Talent away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember where it is discussed exactly so I'll put it under a spoiler for OP. Spoiler Kaz and Alcatraz are discussing his parents and how they never got divorced. He (Kaz) says Attica disappeared before asking for one and while Shasta could have asked for one she has no reason to do so since she would lose her Talent.

Juanaton Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Nope. Can't answer his questions definitively...though based on the way the Talents seem to work, if Smedry's from two branches married each other (for example, if Alcatraz and Australia were to marry) they would probably start each having both Talents...or some weird combination of the two if they work the same way as Investiture based magics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of nowhere Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I've never seen or heard of a smedry with two talents, so maybe they don't get both 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ark1002 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Okay, what would happen if Shasta had a child with someone else? Would they be considered Smedry? I mean, it isn't blood, but they were a child of someone considered Smedry..... so many complicated mechanics could come from this..... headache.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gak Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 im not sure if this belongs on this thread, but would a smedry adopting someone give them a talent? fourth book spoiler? Spoiler Attica's plan to give everyone talents, "i legally adopt everyone who wants a talent!!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
