Quite a lot happened in that day, however, which is probably the reason for your confusion. <br /><br />Also, Hector had not done any meditating or training prior to the manifestation of his ability. And given what we know about emergence, we can conclude that the Hector's manifestation was not a case of emergence (recall that he did not feel the specks on his hands until after the immediate conflict was over and he saw what Colt had done). Garovel briefly mentioned that there was a subtle difference between the initial manifestation of an ability and the further "emergence" of it. <br /><br />Anyhow, Emiliana's manifestation did happen rather early, but Hector's happened even earlier.George M.

It's just another mutation - that happens to be what they were before they mutated the first time. Mutation aught to practically be a transformation ability. Or so it seems from here. But if I've learned anything reading this work of yours, it's that you've always thought the abilities through. So I'm assuming a perfect explanation hiding somewhere.Z.n.

Source is this page: http://thezombieknight.blogspot.com/2013/10/page-317.html (and the following pages)<br /><br /><br /><br />"[M]utation is by far the rarest type. [...] The<br /> mutation type has a reputation for being weaker than the others--which <br />isn’t actually true, by the way. But a lot of reapers don’t like it, <br />because it’s much more of a double-edged sword than any other type. See,<br /> mutation abilities allow the user to make PERMANENT changes to their <br />body. Unlike transfiguration, which changes one’s body chemistry <br />temporarily, mutation will cause the servant’s regeneration power to <br />maintain its changes. This means that even just learning to control the <br />ability is dangerous, because the servant could end up accidentally <br />disfiguring or disabling themself. [...]<br />And<br /> even if it’s a problem that normally could be fixed with surgery, the <br />servant will still just regenerate to its mutated state. The only <br />potential solution is to induce a second change which counters the <br />detrimental effects of the first change--and that can easily end up <br />making the problem worse. [...]<br />Sometimes,<br /> mutation users screw their bodies up so badly that there’s no hope of <br />fixing it anymore. Which can be quite horrific. And at that point, <br />releasing their soul is a mercy. I also know that the general stigma <br />around the mutation type makes it so a lot of reapers won’t even bother <br />with a servant who has it. Because like I said, they see it as weaker <br />than all others and not worth the trouble. [...]<br />Mutation is the one I know the least about. The rarity makes it difficult to study. [...] Hell,<br /> a thousand years ago, we thought the mutation type was some kind of <br />awful disease. Some reapers might even still believe that. [...]<br />We<br /> shouldn’t try to measure the worth of our servants by the abilities <br />they possess. I despise reapers who discard their servants because they <br />think the ability isn’t good enough."<br /><br /><br /><br />I'm reading into this that mutation isn't necessarily rarer than the other types, but between reapers releasing servants who turn out to have the mutation ability, and servants disabling themselves and have to be released, there just aren't that many mutation users who survive.<br /><br /><br />Which was slightly off-topic, sorry for that. I think it would be a lot easier on the Elroy children if their parents had told them a lot more about what to expect.Ankounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-29436950795773635482014-05-26T22:19:47.402-04:002014-05-26T22:19:47.402-04:00is anyone else having toxic avenger flash backs? :...is anyone else having toxic avenger flash backs? :pprincess novanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-10787069202991682412014-05-26T19:34:48.713-04:002014-05-26T19:34:48.713-04:00They probably didn't expect a mutation ability...They probably didn't expect a mutation ability.
