Magic and genetics?
You are currently reading a thread in /x/ - Paranormal
I was wondering, does magical potency pass through genetic means? Is it a recessive or dominant trait? I'm related to a Catholic Saint on one side of my family, and according to legend, a medicine man on the other. Would this effect anything?
The supernatural permeates all.
Its essentially what everything stems from.

I think you've proven than you know nothing of the supernatural.

Most of the time, when geneticists measure traits associated with intelligence, they are quantifiably tracking literacy and abstract thinking.
When those abilities were rare, the economic advantage went to those who cloistered people with said traits. Nowadays, science has superseded magic and the societal advantage goes to the group with genetic diversity in measures of intelligence.
When asking about the tangible, do not limit yourself to terms of the supernatural.

I don't, hence why I'm asking

Definitely recessive. If it were a dominant trait, it'd spread like wildfire among the sociopathic subset of the population. That said, it might evolve to be a dominant trait some day, but historically it hasn't been.
Yes, I'm saying the X-Men scenario is possible.
