Aptitudes are a permanent specialty akin to a career that a wild Rukaan can train in to achieve better results in certain activities! A Rukaan can only train in two Aptitudes. Aptitudes are not required to participate in the related activity, they just give you tasty bonuses!
For the tame equivalent, see Professions.
Your Rukaan is considered untrained in an Aptitude and receives no bonuses until they take on at least the title of Apprentice.
Aptitudes cannot be removed or changed unless:
a Rukaan undergoes the Passage of True Calling and changes their disposition to Tame
a Rukaan changes ownership and both the new and old owner agree to the removal of the aptitudes
