Talents are clearly meant, as implied by the RAW, to represent inborn Talent.

GURPS Fantasy then posits the option of applying Limitations to Talents, turning them from inborn aptitudes into supernatural abilities, e.g. so that to get the benefit of your Artificer Talent (or the part of it that isn't Limited) you must perform a religious ritual (Prepration Required).
