Gifting's And Abilities Options

So I'm assuming that most people here practice magick and have, by years of practice, gained a few abilities on the way. What are some of the abilities you've acquired along the way? What are some of the abilities you feel you were born with?

Goibniu, that's the best quick intro to practical magick I've ever seen. My experiences have been similar. Note that while we have theoretical models for how magick works any practicing magickian either understands that they are all incomplete or limits their own results with restrictions based on unsubstantiated belief, not reality.

Shallimar Fox, I've often wondered if differences in "innate ability" are based on psychological factors, not physical limits. I've seen everyone from children to elderly, after being trained in an energy model-based healing technique, all show the ability to enormously speed healing. I've also never seen anyone in a magickal group who was totally unable to bias "coincidence". In my experience it appears to be a general human ability.
