Innate Ability(4) The character starts with a spell that isn't impended by iron and doesn't require incantation. Costs 4 skill slots for hero or wizard and can only be taken at character creation. Character is at -2 DX on casting for every IQ point short of the level required for for the level of gesture they put into casting, and another -2 DX for each requirement the spell normally has. I.e. -2 DX for each IQ level under the spell requirement if they gesture with both hands, and another 2 IQ points higher (another -4 DX) if they're holding anything other than their Staff, which heroes normally don't have.

Example a hero with IQ 13 takes Staff V as an innate ability. They are at -16 DX (-8 for requirements plus -8 for IQ) to cast the spell and -13 DX to direct occult strikes. (Because of the +3 DX at Staff III)
