My heir is healed from being imbecile... O_O

[Unready]

First son and heir of my character was born imbecile to my annoyance.
More sons followed him and I expect to chance to get rid of drooling dork.
He educated as normal but all his numbers always was zeroes.
He even was introduced as heir and "groomed for perfection".
I really don't look at him expecting to disinherit him when my other sons come to age.
But when he turns 16, suddenly I found what he is imbecile no more.

I don't understand. Is it possible now to get rid of such born-related traits? If so, then how?

If the imbecile is curious as a childhood trait there is a decision to make him shrewd. Shrewd imbecile is contradictory, so he is only shrewd from then on. Happened to my heir too. I see the imbecile trait as a psychological issue in this case, one that is taken care of during education.

Imbecile is not hereditary, so it is non-genetic and can be "healed".

Why are you worried about a weak heir as a Muslim anyway? Just land another kid and forget about him.

Imbecile is not hereditary

It absolutely is, but that doesn't matter. If you have one trait, and pick up another trait that's its opposite, then you lose the first one, hereditary or not.

I didn't worried at all. I was surprised when on his 16 birthday I found he was healed. I just planed to give some land to one another sons when they turn 16.
But this guy is become better then them so I didn't do anything and year later my char died from cancer.
And new one in 5 years become even better

He had curious childhood trait which turned into shrewd. It is only uspposed to raise one level though. I had the same thing happen but my heir was slow only.
