| Comments: | Saw this in a context where none of the current glosses could work. 魔力の制御による存在の隠匿など、君だけの才覚というわけではない = "You're not the only one who knows how to conceal her presence using mana". i.e. literally "you're not the only one with theses 才覚s". you're not the only one with the power to... you're not the only one with a knack for... reverse gave a lot of "talent" examples. eijiro gives "knack" (which also occasionally appears on reverso) and *powers* which would fit perfectly in the context I found it. "power" singular is problematic. I'm imagining something like "powers of persuasion" (though in this case singular also works in English). singular-"power" seems more ambiguous to me... |

| Comments: | Most refs split out fund-raising. I think it's the ability to devise plans; not the plan itself. |
