• Special interactions with the game world
• Character customization options

Game Masters can:

• Edit existing ability parameters
• Organize abilities into trees or paths

When designing abilities, consider:

• MP efficiency - Balance effectiveness with MP cost
• AP investment - Match power with learning cost
• Utility vs. power - More powerful abilities should have limitations
• Progression paths - Create logical upgrade sequences
• Class appropriateness - Design abilities suited to specific job classes
