Methods of Activating Latent Talents

This is a subject brought up many times on the OOC channel. Once upon a time, you could just hammer the command text for the various skills and it would activate a latent talent. This has long since been done away with, and the activation triggers are much more complex.

I have had Psychic healer activate by looking at someone, and then automatically diagnosing their health.

Levitator kicked in as a life preservation technique when I took one too many steps north in the Underdark. It also was triggered by an Aurumvorax on Kentaur Island. He was completely mauling me, and when I wimpied, I wimpied upwards.

Mindblaster, firestarter, bladeturner and battledancer almost always trigger in combat.

I have also had firestarter activate when I looked at my opponent in combat, and happened ot visualize heat waves eminating from him.

Soothsayer has been triggered by looking at another player, and instantly providing him with his fate. It has happened twice this way--once was a talent and twice was a death fate.

Dowser can be triggered by being extremely thirsty, a consition which seems to accompany resurrection quite often.

My mindshielder ability was triggered as a reflexive action when an vlekthid tried to eat my brains.

Stormlord was activated at the end of combat with a Storm Walker, when the stored energy in his field discharged, it was collected in mine.

Fixer most often triggers by looking at damaged items, and then instinctively healing them.

the temple entry chamber [n, out]
    You see a greenish-skinned male orc guard riding a dark brown male warg, a greenish-skinned
female orc guard riding a brown male warg and a pale-green-skinned male orc guard.
As you move to proceed outward, something stirs strangely deep in your mind, and suddenly you
find yourself moving very, very far outward indeed, hurtling through the very fabric of the
cosmos.
somewhere in the Exoma [in, n, nd, nu]
    You see an elektros and a bright green-spotted dark blue hermaphroditic pyx.
You realize that your latent psychic wild talent is that of a planeswalker.
