Uriel's music has to be heard directly to be believed. He is mildly empathic and unconsciously channels it through his music. His recordings are still very good, but don't have quite the same kick as his live performances as a result. Almost all of his life revolves around his music and perfecting it. However, he does have a few other hobbies, like parkour and trying to deal with the bullies that think he's weak for some reason. Uriel is unaware that he's psychic. The problems this cause are usually small because of how mild his Talent is, but he can still sometimes end up projecting an emotional state on the people around him that he doesn't intend to cause.

Using Skill Mastery: Uriel's Skill Mastery simply provides a Persistent Aspect for him to use while performing Jazz Music. It also provides a Power Aspect that he can Invoke with a Fate Point as normal. This same Power Advantage can be used to represent extreme levels of skill as well as psychic abilities.

Since Uriel's is defined as a sort of psychic empathy, he can use it to perform actions a musician with this power based on skill can't. On the other hand, Uriel's mastery will generally only work with live audiences. The skill-based musician with this Advantage will record better.
