Can anyone practice magic in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" universe? I'm asking because in most books/films/television shows, etc. magic is commonly portrayed as a hereditary trait, however, I've been reading a lot of the articles based around magic and none of them seem to confirm nor deny whether or not magic is an exclusive force that can only be harnessed by those who are born with it, or is it an all-inclusive power that can be used by anyone with the knowledge to wield it. For example, Tia Dalma was a very powerful practitioner of Voodoo and was believed to be one of the most powerful Voodooist in the world; however, I always thought that her immense power was rooted in the fact that she was actually a goddess trapped in human form. However, Blackbeard also practiced magic, however, his daughter, Angelica, never displayed any powers of her own. So is magic hereditary or not? The reason I'm asking you is because you seem to be a very active contributor in most of these articles and I was wondering if you could appease my curiosity. Please and thank you.
