Like Alice, Edward's ability seems to work best with other vampires. A stronger bond also allows him to hear them from a greater distance, though no greater than a few miles. The closer or more familiar Edward is to a vampire, human, or wolf's mind the better or clearer he can hear them. Edward can hear groups at a time, although he has stated that he has learned to drown out extra voices by focusing on one in particular. The ability seems to behave much like an extra sense and, like the other senses, is likely not under conscious control, though he has learned how to use it. There are currently 40 known gifted vampires and one gifted hybrid.Įdward's gift allows him to hear/see the thoughts of other people, whether vampire or humans, except for Bella and, to a lesser extent, Charlie. Since the Swan family has passed down mental abilities for three generations, it has been speculated that gifts might be passed down genetically, though influence of intrauterine environment during pregnancy and upbringing during infancy and teen years may also be important. This is proven by the differences in similar gifts among vampires, for example Edward and Aro, Bella and Renata, Jane and Alec, or Maggie and Charles.Īlso, even though vampires have gifts, some may take time to develop and decades, if not centuries, to improve.Ī hybrid can be born with hereditary gifts from his/her vampire father if the human mother is already gifted, her gift may be inherited as well. For example, Bella's mind originally only covered her from psychic powers, but after becoming a vampire she could project it to cover those around her.Ī large majority of vampiric gifts affect the mind, but there have been exceptions as some powers work on the physical world, like Benjamin's elemental control.Įleazar has explained that every gift is unique, never working the same way twice because no one ever thinks exactly the same way. The more pronounced it was in human form, the stronger it becomes in vampire form. Some of those characteristics become a supernatural power of some sort. When someone has a particularly intense skill or characteristic, it heightens after their transformation. When a human transforms into a vampire, her/his strongest trait is brought into her/his new life. " Yes, no talent ever manifests in precisely the same way, because no one ever thinks in exactly the same way." ―Eleazar
