A Special Position is a very rare Position. A special position (특수 포지션, teuksoo pojisheon) refer to additional roles one can carry besides their primary battle position, so special positions can be overlapped with another position, there is no case in which one only holds a special position without any primary position. In some cases one may have several special positions, and in other cases, one may have none, all depending on the person. [1]
Note: Every basic Position requires manipulation of shinsu and as such, it is the same for Positions like "Dansul" or "Wonsul". As in: not just Wave Controllers get to learn them.
