A character receives more EXP from practical application or instructions if they have Strength with the skill (blue up arrow). As such, some of them will have a hard time developing a skill where they have Weakness with (red down arrow). No one is stopping you from training them on Skills that they’re weak with but expect that to be an uphill climb.
Budding Talent is an unlockable proficiency in a skill that the character is initially weak. These are represented by three stars. They might be weak to that specific skill but with hard work, focus, and consistency you can turn that weakness into a proficiency or strength. This can be done through custom Goals and Manual Instructions.
