In many MMORPG games tends to be oriented toward combat, and so are skills and spells. Will LAO use some more utility skills like cooking, mapmaking, heraldry and such. Or spells that are neither defensive, offensive, but mainly utility ones, or detection?
Abilities in the LA game are skill bundles. There are over 30 of these Abilities, and each is broad in what it covers. The initial Avatar will begin with only a very few, gain them by purchase with Merits, or earn them through special play award. As for spells, the activations available in the LA game are numbered in the hundreds and cover the gamut from offensive and defensive to detection and curing. As I noted, there are hundreds of spells in the LA game core books, supplemental articles, and more whenever they are wanted.
