Exillium Ability Pins - This is unofficial fanart and does not adhere exactly to all of the given descriptions. Some ability pins were composed by the artist.

Special Abilities are extensions of the Elves' natural powers; they are only available to those Elves who have DNA with the necessary components and then manifest them.

It is quite rare for an elf to have more than one special ability, though there are a few of these mentioned in the series. Polyglots are more likely to have multiple abilities than any other manifesters.
