As it states, Acquired abilities are skills you can learn like Necromancy. Natural abilities are certain creatures natural skills like a Dragon's firebreath and GCS web spraying.

To become a husk, go to an evil area and run into the mists.

To become a vampire, fight one and drink one's blood. You don't have to kill them.

To become a werebeast, find one during a full moon so they are in their werebeast form, and let them bite you. It doesn't ALWAYS make you a werebeast.

It is recommended you do not do this alone, or at the very least have a peasant sample the mists first :P

While we are on the topic of natural/aquired powers...
I want to make a mod where elves entire bodies retreat into their heads when startled or in danger (for laughs) like a tortise with its shell. Can someone provide the raw tags I would have to add? I understand you need the
[RETRACTS_INTO_BP] tag, but what do you put after it?

Just leave a peasant in the path of the murk, and observe the effects :D
