During the course of a MazeWorld session, there are a number of abilities, moves and techniques that your character can perform. Some of which are basic in nature and can be performed by virtually any character, with little to no pre-requisites. Others are more specialized in nature, and may require learning, purchasing, or reaching some other more difficult pre-requisite.
Furthermore, many of these abilities may behave differently when performed in Normal Mode mode and Combat Modemode, and in fact, certain abilities can only be performed in Combat Modemode.
