Pristinely ungifted

From Sword of Truth Wiki

Pristinely ungifted people are those who are completely immune to magic.

Often referred to as "Pillars of Creation" or "Holes in the World", pristinely ungifted are unharmed by the gift. Additive Magic does not affect them in any way, though Subtractive Magic, being the power of death affects them the same as it does an ordinary person.

Though Additive Magic can not directly harm someone who is pristinely ungifted, it can harm them indirectly. A bolt of lightning, conjured by a sorceress, will in itself not injure pristinely ungifted, but shards of rock sent flying by the conjured bolt would still be capable of fatally wounding them.

The trait of being pristinely ungifted was an unforeseen side effect of the bond to the Lord Rahl, that always insures a gifted heir. A person who is pristinely ungifted is always a descendant of the House of Rahl. A person who is pristinely ungifted will always bear a child who is pristinely ungifted. There is no way of restoring the link in the broken chain of magic.

The pristinely ungifted hear the voice of the Keeper. If a pristinely ungifted accepts or surrenders to the voice, they gain the power of command over people.
