How Abilities Work

Abilities are skills or benefits you can gain for your character. There are two separate ability options:

• Active
• Passive

Active Abilities

Active abilities are ones that your character can essentially "activate". Many of these require passive abilities in order to be able to use them.

Passive Abilities

Passive abilities are ones your character learns that are or become innate to your character depending on what they've learned and what path they want to go down. For example, a mage might have Water Manipulation which is an inherent ability that allows them to manipulate water whenever, but would not be as specific as an active ability like Wavemaker would be.

Upgraded Abilities

Each ability has 4 options beneath it which are considered their upgrades. When you level your character, you have the option of keeping the baseline ability or upgrading it to be stronger. For abilities that require passive abilities, you only need to have the base passive magic in order to be able to unlock and upgrade any active ability.

Abilities are skills or benefits you can gain as your character levels up (see Levelling).

The following table shows all abilities available to choose from. There are active abilities and passive abilities. Most active abilities require passive abilities before they can be attained.

How to Get Abilities

Abilities are acquired through leveling your class. You can also get more via in-game events as rewards.
