Talent (needed one):
1. Ability to manipulate other's dreams: Most times, it only gives him the power to see into other's dreams. After time (throughout the story), he will grow stronger with his ability and could potentially use it as a means of communicating with others. This ability also makes him especially susceptible to magical attacks while he is asleep because sometimes he is pulled towards a powerful person's dreams and is forced to watch the dream until it ends or the person pushes him out of their mind. A powerful person can draw him into their dreams on purpose or accidentally. This will become harder for a person to do as Malik masters his ability more, but could still happen if he was mentally or physically exhausted or hurt.

Weapons/armor:
1. Arms: Malik has slip-on gloves that go up the entire length of his arms before meeting his breastplate, where they attach. While they feel like simple fabric, they were provided by the Conclave (and likely stolen from someone who couldn't pay them), and are strong like metal. They allow him to be flexible during the fight and protected on his arms. However, the fabric also has a downside because if a person manages to pull the glove off of him, they can still easily hurt him. Because of how the gloves are attached to the body armor, it would be hard to pull them off. If someone succeeded, however, Malik would definitely be in trouble.
2. Accessories: On Malik's armor, he has two simple lengths of leather that start at either side of his waist. They strap down at the bottom of his legs, but he can unstrap them and clip them together. Malik had them designed specifically so that he could clip them together, hold them in the air, and attach it to Stella's saddle as she is flying past him. This pulls him into the air by his waist, allowing him to either, a) fight people as Malik flies through the enemy ranks, or b) make a quick getaway. These straps of leather can also be used separately, and hook onto either side of Stella's saddle when he is sitting on it.

Talents (two were needed):
1. Memory storage: Stella has a powerful memory. However, since she can't store all her memories in her head without forgetting the small details, she has the ability to store certain memories in objects. She will still have the memory in her mind after saving it in something, but it will grow fuzzy and muddled overtime, just as memories for other people already do, while the memory inside the object remains perfect. She can remove the perfect memories from those objects if she chooses, but if there isn't enough space in her mind, the memories will basically be deleted. If another person picks up the object, they'll be forced into the memory, and unable to move until they go through the entire thing. Since Stella doesn't have full control of the ability yet, she may accidentally share a powerful memory with a person if she brushes against them, or accidentally store a memory in the hay she's sleeping on. As she grows, she'll learn to control it more, but she may never fully get a handle on it (at least not by the end of the story).
2. Replication of powers: Stella can replicate other powers from dragons. She has to witness them using the power, and she can only recreate it on a much smaller scale. After a day or two, she isn't able to access it at all. The catch is that she can only use the power in the way the other dragon used it. For example, if a dragon has the ability to control the weather, but they only make it drizzle, she cannot use it to, say, create a tornado or thunderstorm. If anything, it's more of a regurgitation of powers than a steady replication of them.
