Callings

Callings are one of the effects of Dark Lightning on NBC's Manifest.  Outside sources say that the​​​ exact definition of Calling is "a strong inner impulse toward a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence."

Description

Callings is the term coined by Kelly and Patrick Taylor and most often used by Ben and Michaela Stone to describe how the people who were on Flight 828 are called by a voice, feeling, vision or another source to do something. Callings are often vague and are usually misinterpreted the first time around. They are used to help people but following them sometimes can lead to the death of the passenger, as seen by Kelly Taylor and Harvey Stein. When people who weren't on Flight 828 are told about the callings it can lead to fatal consequences, Rick Moore, and the bartender died after they were told about it and Jared Vasquez likely would have died if Michaela Stone hadn't asked for his life to be spared.
