When a pilot gained proficiency in synchronizing with the Iron Heart, they would be able to awaken one to three Abilities depending on their nature, bloodline and talent. Generally speaking, it was possible to awaken one to three Abilities; however, ordinary pilots would only be able to awaken one Ability. These Abilities were commonly referred to as Inherent Ability.

Inherent Abilities were generally determined at the first awakening and would remain the same for the rest of the pilot's life. As the pilot became more skilled with synchronization, the inherent ability or abilities would become more powerful or even evolve. In some rare cases, a pilot's number of Inherent Ability(Abilities) might also increase as they become more proficient in synchronization. Continuous training and meditation would be required to awaken the inherent potential of a pilot.

Despite that… It was an undeniable truth that pilots born with a rare Ability from the start would have a greater advantage. Thus, the future of a pilot was determined by their talent in piloting and also the type or performance of their awakened Ability.
