History Main / UnSorcerer

** The most prominent one is the main protagonist, Luz. Due to being [[TokenHuman the only Human on the Boiling Isles]], [[spoiler: with the exception of Emperor Belos,]] Luz stands out from the rest of the Isle's [[MageSpecies inhabitants]] by lacking any sort of natural magic. A major part of Luz's journey in Season 1 is finding a way around this in order to achieve her dreams of becoming a Witch, which she finds in the form of Glyph Magic, though that magic has its own limits in that [[spoiler: it is unusable in the Human Realm due to the lack of Titan's Blood to power the BackgroundMagicField that powers the Glyphs.]]

** Pictured above is [[TheHero Izuku Midoriya]], who starts the series as one of the minority of people in the world who never gained any kind of superpower or Quirk, a phenomenon known InUniverse as being Quirkless.[[note]]Quirks first appeared about a century before the start of the series, and Quirklessness has been getting rarer and rarer with every generation. By Midoriya's time, 80% of humanity have Quirks, and the 20% who lack one are at best seen as physically handicapped, and at worst [[FantasticAbleism treated as lesser beings]].[[/note]] Despite this weakness, he ends up impressing [[WorldsStrongestMan All Might]], the world's greatest hero, when he tries to save his classmate from a criminal during an incident where other heroes including All Might himself were hesitating to act. All Might chooses to start training Midoriya to be his successor, and gives Midoriya his Quirk: [[SuperEmpowering One For All]]. [[spoiler:Later it's revealed that when he was a teenager, All Might used to be Quirkless like Midoriya until his predecessor Nana Shimura gave him One For All. It's further revealed that All Might and Midoriya being Quirkless was actually a boon -- One For All actually burns out holders that already have Quirks, causing them to die young. Of course, with Quirkless being a vanishing class, Midoriya might be the last holder of One For All.]]

* [[ButtMonkey Touma Kamijou]] of ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' is this in a world where literally ''everyone'' can technically perform something supernatural. Even [[RandomPowerRanking Level 0s]] have a minuscule capability to warp reality, and everyone who has not undergone the secret procedures that turn them into espers can perform [[FunctionalMagic magic]], as evinced by [[SenseiChan Komoe]] who did so barely five minutes after having had it revealed to her. His "[[AntiMagic Imagine Breaker]]" means that he has absolutely no [[PsychicPowers psychic abilities]], no ability to do magic, and [[CosmicPlaything no luck]] (which is a supernatural phenomenon in A Certain universe), and while he has an ability, his ability is actually to [[AntiMagic negate anything supernatural]]. He was officially ranked as a Level 0, but only as a technicality because his ability is impossible to scan and defies classification.

* Louise the Zero from ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' developed an [[TinyTyrannicalGirl enormous ego and hair-trigger temper]] [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex to compensate for]] her [[HighHopesZeroTalent inability to successfully perform magic]], something [[TheMagocracy that defines nobility in her world]]. It turns out she actually has a very rare and powerful magical ability: [[spoiler:[[PowerOfTheVoid Void Magic]], the legendary [[ElementNumberFive Fifth Element]]...which happens to be explosion/energy-based magic.]]
** [[spoiler: at the end of the light novel series, with the disappearance of Void Magic from the world; Louise has instead gained the same type of Wind Magic that made her mother so famous.]]

* Genaa in Literature/GreenSkyTrilogy is considered a bit odd because she has no psionic ability whatsoever. [[note]] This makes her the most difficult option to play in the tie-in game as she has to hit all of the spirit-boosting options to get strong enough to rescue Raamo [[/note]] Most Kindar retain some degree of empathic or telepathic ability. It's even stranger since she was Chosen to the Ol-Zhaan priesthood, and it was widely believed that Ol-Zhaan ''have'' to have a high degree of Spirit Skill to be considered. It's the first big hint that the priesthood is covering up a large pile of unpleasant secrets.
