Both of the storyline that blossom out in the modish episode ofInto The Badlandsoffered interesting tidbits regarding the Gift and the theme that some character reference have different Gifts . WhileCressida ’s spelldidn’t seem to give her any unique abilities that the Gift does n’t typically give Dark Ones , her red eyes put her asunder from everyone else who ’s ever been seen using the Gift . This could be because Cressida does n’t naturally own the Gift . She was only able to access it after intone something in a strange language , so her giving could be different simply because it ’s tied to her magical powerfulness .
Cressida is n’t the only persona with a unique Gift . According to Kannin , Sunny ’s Gift is special too , but not necessarily in a skillful path . Sunny is n’t able to use his Gift because it was locked off inside him a foresightful time ago . Kannin is open of turning it back on , but she knows that to do so would cause more harm than full . manifestly , if Sunny ’s Gift is unsecured , it can only be turned off again by Pilgrim , while everyone else can shut theirs off through ego - mastery , willpower , and training . Sunny ’s Gift is the Francis Scott Key to beating Pilgrim , because Pilgrim ca n’t apply his own Gift and bend off Sunny ’s at the same clip .

Both Sunny and Pilgrim were chosen as children to be theguardians of Azra ’s future . gay ’s father was the leader ofAzra , so his heritage could be a ingredient somehow as well .
Like Sunny , Pilgrim ’s Gift also has a downside . Since gaining the Gift , Pilgrim has shown signboard of poor wellness . The Gift is taking both a genial and strong-arm toll on him . The Master find fault the Gift ’s negative effect on his consistency on the fact that Pilgrim get the Gift through unnatural means . This could indicate that the Gift itself may be what lastly bring Pilgrim to his knees .
