[General Fiction] What are some examples of characters using seemingly useless powers in a creative and effective way?
gpt
The Alcatraz books, by Brandon Sanderson. The main character's family has a power called "talent" and it's almost always something really dumb. His grampa has the talent of getting late , his uncle has the talent to getting lost, his cousin has a talent to tripping and falling. His grandfather can arrive late to bullets, wounds and even his own death, his uncle can get lost and teleport, everytime his cousin trips, he avoids danger, so when he trips, everybody arround throw themselves intonthe ground as a reflex.
