As I recall, when Vlad asks Aliera how she got the ability, she STARTS with the bloodline/genes, and then adds something about spending 50 or 100 years or so working on the talent. It's not automatic. The bloodline, according to Aliera, is necessary but not sufficient. And that, I think, is enough to explain why Morrolan (as far as we've seen) doesn't have it. He's interested in Elder Sorcery, sure, but he's been working on (obsessed with!) other things as well. Mark A.
