My character can control the weather locally, with a cooldown obviously.

I think all talents should have drawbacks, in most cases a drop in charisma for things like scaly skin or other physical talents, or missing eyes for a true sight, etc. I personally would like to see talents specific to boomed like increased stamina or regeneration in the native biome outdoors only. Finally, I'd like to see a society or guild, monsters, or the like that seek out those with talent. It really would make it way more interesting to have a special but concerned to use it. My 2 cents :)

Here's another - if you had a "dwarfy race" with mining perks I think it would suit this better but:

A tinker handling underground ores might discover a talent for animating said ore. Thus your first "Golem" creater is discovered. Might be limited to a 1 week (RL) cooldown for each "animation". at which stage they persist. The magic may only work underground. Golems feed in small quantities on rock.

All skills should have risks though...

Perhaps you start out able to create one golem, the sort of servant who appears to have no mind of it's own. Initially it starts out following orders. It might take a few men to take it down, and perhaps it's a nice effective heavy at mining. Great you think, a fantastic servant, and everyone is happy. Local mining production starts to rise. You're a small time town hero.

...Until one day it starts to exhibit new behaviour. It refuses the odd order. Weeks later, your (now 3-4, max?) loyal golems are a menace and the mine is not a safe place. Without warning they not only stopped following orders but became hostile. They don't appear willing to leave the mine or caverns they are "born" in. You need to hire help to fight them. It takes you more than a RL week of waiting before you feel you have enough "energy" to infuse another golem since your last one. The local townspeople are no longer impressed, blaming you for their losses or deaths. They will not follow orders to destroy each other either..

The longer you live with the golum animation skill, the more chaotic and free thinking your creations become. No longer can you safely animate one without risk of it turning hostile. Either you abandon your experimentation, or perhaps have to adapt deviant skills, animating them in far off rival's mines, attempting to do so without being caught, by your own creation or witnesses.

Utilize the shadows using my Talent idea Shadow Shifter https://chroniclesofelyria.com/forum/topic/18683/shadow-shifter-talent-idea

I can turn wood into baskets, so I can turn your door into a basket that I can use to keep all my loot in when I rob your now-doorless house.

I like the idea of subtle talents, but I prefer to have a more subtle touch in the world.

I've read that shapeshifting could be possible, which I know isn't necessarily a subtle talent, but it could be if you could only shift into something with the same mass as yourself.

Of course clairvoyant abilities are always fun (& potentially problematic). Though a very specific type like being able to touch someone & see past/present/future or read their thoughts... maybe a medium type where they can channel & communicate with the spirit world.

Animal speak. Talking to animals would be really cool, though everyone would think you were insane... & maybe you are...?

The healing/hurting touch idea is a cool one too. I played a mystic a long time ago who could heal by touch, but it harmed her at the same time so she had to gauge whether it was worth it to use the power.

The ability to help plants/animals thrive would be a practical one. The farmer who can grow absolutely anything or the rancher who has that uncanny knack for raising prize winning goats. That sort of thing.

I know in 5 years you've most likely thought these things out. I just wanted to chime in with an opinion since the question was asked.

Honestly, I don't expect to have (or use) a talent so I have no big ideas on them, will just enjoy the show if anyone around me happens to develop one.

Sense the magical potential in others.

Bartending?

communicate with a few other individuals through thought and/or dream, however who they are and where they are isn't inherently known to each person.

I have an idea for a talent and also an idea for the talents trigger.

Someone can have an ability that lets them enter a rage mode where they attack stronger and faster, move faster and see the outlines of enemies through walls. Something like a berserker/bloodlust mode.

The trigger could be the person seeing a party member/significant other/soulmate die (the soul disconnected from body death) in front of them. After that the could only access the power if his vitality is lower than a certain point.

Sry if the idea is taken I just thought I should put in forward.

Kinda like a sharingan xD
