It's not magic, or at least it's nothing like the magic here. Abilities are...extremely specific, I suppose. One of my subordinates can create objects, but only using a specific kind of notebook paper and the object has to be small enough to fit on the paper.
Not many people have them either.

Most of them do. The Armed Detective Agency has a Gifted business license, and since there are very few jobs that can employ a Gifted- those who have abilities- we tend to get a lot of applicants.
[He pauses there though, and if he didn't feel so safe with Eiden he might not have admitted to the next part:]
I do have an ability, yes.

There are options, but most of them are with the government, which is a direction I didn't want Ranpo to take.
[Whoops suddenly lore.]
It's fine. My ability, All Men Are Equal, gives all of my subordinates more control over their abilities, letting them utilize them to their maximum capabilities with ease. It also creates a connection between myself and everyone else affected by my ability, so I can feel their presence and general emotional state.

[Oh. He's always seen his ability as a support, to boost up the truly impressive people. He's not used to getting praise for his.]
It's why I'm very picky about who I work with. I have to trust those people whose powers I unlock won't misuse them.
[He pauses though, considering how to talk about Ranpo.]
Ranpo is... [His son, but he'll never say that in as many words.] ...many years ago, I found a young boy who had an amazing gift for solving mysteries. If he had been at that trial Saturday, he could have taken one look at the clues and instantly picked out the culprit. That's what his ability is: seeing the connections between objects and people and drawing correct assumptions based on that. Super Deduction.
But he sees the world in a different way from you and me, and he can be naive at times. From the moment I figured out he had an ability, I could see exactly how unscrupulous people would use him. So I took him in. The thought being, if I kept an eye on him, then I could chase away anyone who meant ill.
