A Descryer is an elf who has the special ability to sense the potential in another. This can include things such as sensing an individual's potential for danger,[1] or one's potential prowess in their given special ability.[2] It is known to be an incredibly rare ability. Councillor Terik is the only registered Descryer. Elves can naturally manifest the Descrying ability.
Councillor Terik rarely agrees to descry someone. However, when he does, he won't share the results because he doesn't want to "unduly influence"[3] anyone, as even though the person still has to live up to that potential for accurate readings. The only known elves who have been Descryed are Sophie, Alvar, Fitz, Fintan, and Keefe. Terik has said he used to Descry lots of children out of their parents' curiosity but no longer does.
