-<br> The Arelius Sight is the genetically endowed ability to gather information, detect changes, sense everything, with the feared and infamous '''Arelius senses'''.  This legacy allows Oz’s heirs to see, hear, and feel anything within their range. They can see the present so clearly they almost read the future. This allows them to dodge almost any attack and it is nearly impossible to sneak up on them. This becomes even more powerful when they advance, as the range and precision of their senses grows. For example, Cassias gained more access to his legacy when he advanced: <blockquote > Cassias stood on a Thousand-Mile Cloud, spreading his awareness around him. Now that he was a Truegold, his spiritual sense and his bloodline powers had both expanded, leaving him feeling like he had eyes in the sky for miles. (Underlord ch 10) </blockquote>

-The feared and famous Arelius bloodline manifests with the greatest strength in [[Eithan Arelius]] and the [[House Arelius|Sage of a Thousand Eyes]], Cladia Arelius (aka The Oracle Sage). It also manifests with strength in [[Cassias Arelius]]. It is likely that [[Tiberian Arelius]] had a good handle on the Sight, before he was murdered. Also, based on their performance in the [[Uncrowned King Tournament]], Veris Arelius and ltavian Arelius clearly possess some innate ability, too. See [[House Arelius]].

-===Ozmanthus Creates Ability===
+===Ozmanthus===
 <blockquote >Eithan spoke through another yawn. “My father used to say the First Patriarch could watch over his descendants from another continent. Maybe even from. . .beyond the grave.” Eithan waggled his eyebrows up and down. (Blackflame ch 7) </blockquote > Ozmanthus Arelius developed this madra, and he was a Monarch, and the Founder of House Arelius, so it would have been tremendously strong in him.
 <br>In this text, it sorta sounds like you have to  intentionally try to pass your own spiritual abilities to your descendants. It’s maybe not a natural genetic trait, like the Arelius yellow-blond hair.<blockquote >He focused on another of his talents: his sight. When he advanced to Monarch, he developed the bloodline ability to see. Ozmanthus was so relieved that he wept. This was the ability that he wanted to define his legacy. And he would leave his descendants with the ability to see as he did, to one day catch up to him. (Reaper ch 2)</blockquote >
-===Eithan’s Ability===
+===Eithan===
 Eithan, of course, is quite perceptive even when just an Underlord. With his full power unveiled, who knows what he could see? Perhaps as much as Oz. ;)<br><br> <blockquote >. . .it was best to operate as though Eithan knew everything. The Underlord could stretch his web to a target miles away, if he was focused on a specific spot, but he saw everything within a hundred yards without even trying. (Blackflame chapter 7) </blockquote >
-===Cassias’ Ability===
+===Cassias===
 Cassias  detection web is not as broad as Eithan’s, but he’s still got the sight. It grew when he advanced to TrueGold.
 <blockquote>Cassias didn’t have Eithan’s talent in using their bloodline legacy, but he was still an Arelius. He saw more than anyone else could. So he stepped aside gracefully as Eithan plummeted from a rooftop above him. (Reaper, ch 7)</blockquote>

 ==[[Dreadgod]] Bloodline==
-Unclear if this is just a bloodline or a bloodline ability/ legacy
+Unclear if this is just a bloodline or a bloodline ability/ legacy. Probably just a bloodline. Dreadgods manifest the hunger madra bloodline. Relentlessly hungry. Never satisfied. Wanting more. Related to the greed, gluttony, malcontented endless ambition of Monarchs.
 *[[Subject One]] was a researcher, using hunger madra on dreadbeasts. He figuratively took a dosage himself but it warped him until he became a Dreadgod, the first of his bloodline, followed by [[The Bleeding Phoenix]] and the other three beasts.
 *Subject One is depicted on a [[Labyrinth]] door in [[Sacred Valley]]. <blockquote>The last chunk of masonry rolled away, revealing a towering stone door. It was carved with the image of a gaunt, sunken human with many grasping hands, its eyes hollow and mouth open unnaturally wide. This was Subject One, at least as he had appeared long ago. A Dreadgod, though few knew that. The man who had become warped by hunger aura. The origin of their bloodline.’ (Bloodline, ch 20)</blockquote>

 =Akura Bloodline=
 Epanding Akura Armor  — A known bloodline ability created by Monarch [[Akura Malice]]. The Akura bloodline legacy is their ability to call up armor of purple crystal on some or all of their body (full body armor should only be used after advancing to Underlord). Their armor can expand to the height of a skyscraper.  This legacy causes their eyes to look like solid purple crystals while using the armor. Young Akura Harmony tries to use his bloodline ability before he advances to Underlord:<blockquote >Dross says, [[That armor of his is the bloodline legacy of the Akura family. That’s an advantage for us. He didn’t make it with his Path, so he doesn’t have full control of it. He’s not supposed to use the full armor until Underlord, anyway, so his movements will be wide.]] The violet crystal armor encasing Harmony feeds on his madra. Lindon can feel it in his spiritual perception; it’s draining Harmony’s spirit and most of his attention. (Ghostwater ch 17) </blockquote >
