Followers of the Passions often perceive unusual events as either good or bad omens, and these omens can have an enormous effect on the morale of Thaylen sailors. An encounter with a [[santhid]] at sea is considered the best omen one could have,{{book ref|sa3.5|8}} whereas the death of a ship's pet{{book ref|sa3.5|4}} or food that goes rotten too quickly{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} might be seen as bad omens. Omens are believed to manifest as a result of the emotions of those who witness them. Someone feeling a dread Passion may have bad dreams full of premonitions at night, and witness omens during the day.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} The traditional way to disperse a bad omen is to derive a good turn from it, thus proving that fate is on your side. If you can win the internal struggle to be optimistic instead of gloomy, it will reflect in the world around you.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
 
Although Thaylens may speak of "Dark [[Soulcasting]]"{{book ref|sa3.5|5}} and lore holds that the most Passionate among them could reopen the "portal of worlds" (possibly referring to an [[Oathgate]]),{{book ref|sa3|12}} the Passions do not actually have any inherent magical component.{{wob ref|4301}}
