Each ability tracks its own '''mastery''', which grows with the pneuma spent through it and increases that ability's power and/or reduces its cost.

	Some abilities are tagged with an element (fire, water, air, earth).

Some abilities are tagged with an element (fire, water, air, earth). Using a tagged ability contributes to that element's [[Affinity]] and can benefit from it. Abilities with no elemental tag split two ways: those that work raw pneuma directly — physical combat techniques and untyped workings like Blink — train and benefit from '''pure''' affinity ([[Pneuma]]); mundane abilities (e.g. Thieving's) interact with no affinity at all.

'''Ability''' is the atomic unit of anything a character can do — a spell, a physical combat technique, a gathering action (e.g. netting salmon, harpooning), or a utility action (Jump, Blink). Abilities are what get bound to keybinds/hotbar slots.

== Mastery ==

Each ability tracks its own '''mastery''', which grows from use and increases that ability's power and/or reduces its cost. Mastery is per-ability, not shared with other abilities — improving Jump does not improve Blink, even though both are "utility."

This is the same mastery mechanic [[Pneuma]] already uses for spells, generalized to apply to every ability in the game, combat and non-combat alike.

== Elemental tagging ==

Some abilities are tagged with an element (fire, water, air, earth). Using a tagged ability contributes to that element's [[Affinity]] and can benefit from it. Most abilities have no elemental tag at all (e.g. Thieving abilities) and never interact with affinity.
