Okay, about Avatars. Does every human being have one, or do you only have one if you're Awakened? or is it a kind of predestination, where if you have a link to an Avatar you can awaken, but if not you'll never be capable of magic? Or does becoming capable of magic create an Avatar?

(If Avatars are only inherited from Primordial times, they must be getting thinly spread. Back at the start of the Mythic Age, there were only around a hundred million human beings; now there are close to ten billion. If one person in twenty had an Avatar then it would be one in two thousand now.)

Can you use magic to detect that a human being has an Avatar trait? To see that they have the potential to acquire it? To perceive the qualities of their Avatar? What Sphere do you use? (It seems as if an Avatar is a Spirit, since you can destroy one with gilgul, which is at the fifth level of Spirit. But Technocrats don't have Spirit; they have Dimension.)
