— Sarafine to Ethan through Kelting, Beautiful Creatures
| ||
Kelting is an ability a Caster, Wayward, Sheer and an Incubus/Succubus has. Kelting is the ability when two (or more) people are able to communicate via Telepathy. Kelting is extremely rare, only very powerful casters are able to Kelt like Naturals, Cataclysts, Evos, and Sirens. It's almost impossible to find a Caster or a Mortal who is able to kelt. It's unknown if one can communicate with two or more people, the only reason is because Sarafine was able to interrupt the single mental conversation between Lena and Ethan for a short moment.
There are four types of Kelting:
- Caster Kelting: When Casters are able to communicate with another caster, a mortal, incubus, or sheer
- Mortal Kelting: When a Mortal and a Mortal, caster, incubus, or sheer are able to communicate
- Sheer Kelting: When a Sheer kelts with a Mortal, Caster, or incubus, alive or deceased.
- Incubus Kelting: When an Incubus kelts with a Mortal, caster, sheer, or another incubus

- Ethan Wate: Ethan is able to Kelt with Lena, which is stated to be shocking since Mortals are incapable of doing such a thing. It is left as a possibility that he is able to Kelt due to being a Wayward, who are extremely rare as they're not seen much, if ever, in the Caster/Mortal world. He can also Kelt with Lila, his mother.
