When an elf triggers an ability through ability detecting it is called manifesting; the special abilities can also be purposely triggered by a Telepath; however, most abilities occur naturally. We see this when Mr. Forkle triggers Sophie's abilities by invading her mind, such as Telepathy, Inflicting, Polyglot, and Enhancing. Sophie naturally manifests her Teleporting ability due to her DNA, which is modeled after an alicorn's (Greyfell).
