MudGate abilities

Abilities are usually tied to specific classes and can be used by both players and NPCs. Most abilities must be learned before use, and some improve when you spend points on them. Ability scrolls can also be found, but they have limited uses.

Energy cost: Every ability uses energy, even when cast from a scroll. Energy refills over time and can be increased by improving vitality.

Cooldown: After an ability succeeds, you must wait before using it again. Cooldowns are measured in seconds and vary by ability.

Preparation time: Some abilities fire instantly. Others must be prepared first.

Targeting: Abilities can target different areas or creatures:

Range: targets at a distance, measured in blocks.
Reach: targets within melee reach.
Self: only the caster.
Nearby: targets within a nearby area.
