==Overview==
This page describes abilities of cards. Abilities can influence creature combat, the gem [[Gem board]], cards in hand, or other aspects of the game.
Abilities fall into one of three categories:
*[[#General abilities and effects|'''General abilities and effects''']] - General terms used in card descriptions which may or may not be capitalised, and which have a well-defined effect
Many abilities are explained interactively in-game in tutorial battles. A table showing which abilities are taught in which tutorial battles can be found at [[Training_Training (Story)]].
==Icon Abilities==
Icon abilities are represented by an icon on the card having the ability. The color of the icon has a meaning as follows:
* A '''white''' icon represents an active ability which originally appeared on the card.
* A '''yellow''' icon represents an active ability which has been granted by an effect during the game.
* A '''red''' icon represents an ability which has been {{Ability|Disable|Disabled}} by an effect, or an ability on a {{Ability|Disabled}} creature.
=== Combat abilities ===
These abilities affect how attacking and blocking creatures interact in combat. See [[Combat Basics]] for more information about creature combat.
