I've never written fantasy, but I've been kicking around some ideas for it. 2) I very much like, maybe influenced to *some* extent by 1) - it's like other skills.
Some people are inherently good at hitting targets from the moment they first pick up a rifle, most people have to spend a bit of time on the range before they get accurate, with "a bit" varying from person to person for a certain level of "accurate", and a handful of people can't hit crap no matter how hard they try.
Mind, 3) has its potential, too. Maybe the distinction between "wizard" and "cleric".
