No. It is a skill

The probability is on the balance of talents actually. Now, the higher one progresses in ranks, the term of power grows beyond the criteria of just ranks as experience, knowledge, alterations like illegal infusion of beast parts and armor matters. However, the reason talent matters more is because it doesn't matter how strong a silver-ranked swordsman with the talent of increase in agility has if he faces an enemy who can easily crush him with the telekinesis talent or take away his breath with air manipulation talent. Or sometimes, a warrior can meet an opponent whose talent directly counters his own. For example some talents can make a warrior overpowered in his rank but weak against those in higher rank. If you've got more questions, please go ahead.

Actually, in the general plan of the story, it is not(Can't say much about this.) Also, considering the rush of emotions during the battle, the trust he had in himself now that he could use Synergy and Atticus's battle skill, Asher's actions are justified. I've ran simulations in my own little way and using his talent could either happen before the fight or after. He was facing an assassin that didn't give him breathing space and the fire also evaporated his blood. It was until the fire died down that his talent activated. I explained that it could have activated mid battle like always but the fire was the problem.

Bruh, the tail.

Why I texted (almost permanent ) is because based on some circumstances where the said person is kept isolated and manipulated by people with specific talents for a long period of time, he is bound to break. It would take a lot of effort but it's possible. The secret is swapping it for another. A replacement. Loyal to a fault to A. — After manipulation, torture and much more which I would not say explicitly — Loyal to a fault to B.

Well, he is amongst the strongest people in the city so his actions are somewhat justified

She sensed an ominous presence stronger than the ape and knowing the ape wanted Asher, she perceived this other 'unknown' was heading for Asher.

You'll enjoy this arc then.

You perceived the scent of blood in your room. The first thing you do is go ahead and call the cops?
