** {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''[[Literature/TowerAndTheHive The Rowan]]'': No one, including child services, thinks giving custody of the Rowan over to Prime Siglen is a good idea, as Siglen was known to be horribly [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] and empathy-free. Just the type of person you want to leave the care and training of a pre-teen girl to, one with strong, untrained psychic powers, to boot. But they had no other viable option in this case, as Siglen was the only person on the planet qualified to train a Prime Talent properly, and she (the Rowan) was too young to be sent to another planet, where a more empathetic Prime could teach (due to Prime Travel Sickness[[note]]Severe Vertigo suffered by Prime-level Talents after an interplanetary-length teleport[[/note]]).
