Natural Magic
Sometimes called Wild Magic, this a rare gift that is passed down through the descendents of an ancient legend. They have an unusual knack with animals and animals are sometimes inexplicably drawn to them.

Abilities

 * Speaking to animals
 * Healing animals
 * Shape-shifting into an animal
 * Bending an animal to their will
 * Forming a strong Bond with an animal (See Section Below) - Newly Added

Animal Bond
Sometimes a person with this gift can form a strong bond with a particular animal, normally the same as their Spirit Animal, and they gain certain trait of the animal. This could be the hunting ability of a wild cat, the agility of a mountain goat, etc. There is a danger, for those whose abilities have recently awakened, there is a danger of loosing their humanity if they try to form an Animal Bond before they're ready. Those that do are often deemed crazy and institutionalized, or jailed if they end up commiting unspeakable crimes.

Light Fantasy Version
Alexander "Xander" Blake does not look like the kind of guy who would be caught dead with a cute furry animal. Yet, he seems to know when one needs help. That and he lives with his veterinarian grandmother and sister with a myriad of different animals, including an aging Tiger. (This version is more akin to Animal Whispering.)

Fantasy Version
Every since her parents died, Cassandra has been passed from one family member to the next. After something bizarre happened at her last school, she was sent to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousin Xan. When strange things begin to happen at school, Cassie is beginning to wonder what is wrong with her. All she wants is to be a normal girl. (Note...I can't remember if her name actually was Cassandra or nor but that's what I;ll go with for now.)
