Demigod Abilities are the inherited powers of a demigod from their godly parent or ancestor. Although most share at least one trait of ADHD or Dyslexia, their abilities are dependent on their divine parentage. In The Lost Hero, the gods are shown to be able to influence what powers their children possess.

This clear sight is not exclusive to just demigods, as some humans may have this ability as well.
