Also, weren't the Zambesi Totems supposed to be hereditary? I think it wasn't until Amaya lost hers that they added the part that anyone could use them, but only in a selfless manner. And I get it they can't hire that many actors, but it could've made more sense if they would have stuck with people from Zambesi regaining their people's heirlooms to help save the world. Wait I just remember that guy in the Vixen show could use the Fire Totem and he just wanted it for himself and Kuasa could use the Water Totem even though she was supposed to inherit the Spirit one, oh well! Yeah tradition was probably to pass it down a family line but once a Totem was lost it seems it's first come first serve. I personally think a selfless reason is required if you're trying to use an already bonded one but one freely given or one taken without a current bearer can be used without too much trouble.
