Modifiers

A Burst ability includes the "Burst" prefix as part of the tagline and affects all characters close enough to hit or be hit by you in melee at the time it is called. The ability cannot be avoided or blocked, though countering and immunity apply normally. If the effect is beneficial, you may choose to affect yourself as well.

A Free ability costs you no Spirit to use.

If the ability is granted by a sanctum, characters may use it as their own as long as they are within arm’s reach of the sanctum. The sanctum’s owner may restrict who is able to do so (e.g., everyone, residents, customers, owner) on the sanctum’s sheet.

A Gaze ability includes the "Gaze" prefix as part of the tagline and affects a single character you point at when the ability is called. If the target is ambiguous or their attention is engaged elsewhere, the ability has no effect, though simply averting one's gaze is not a valid defense. The ability cannot be avoided or blocked, though countering and immunity apply normally.

A Party ability affects you normally and can also be shared with other characters. You may give the ability to any number of characters any time except during content or combat and the benefit applies whenever they are within sight of you. Characters may only benefit from one Party ability at a time, regardless of how many you or other characters have, though you may grant different abilities to different characters at the same time. You may revoke a Party ability at any time if you so choose.

If the ability is granted by a sanctum, residents of the sanctum may choose it as their Party ability, but remain limited to one Party ability at a time. The owner of the sanctum may revoke its Party abilities, but residents need not be within sight of the sanctum or the owner to benefit from them.

A Pierce ability includes the "Pierce" prefix as part of the tagline and cannot be blocked, though it may be Deflected.

A Reach ability includes the "Reach" prefix as part of the tagline and affects a single character within reach who you indicate when the ability is called. If the target is ambiguous or their attention is engaged elsewhere, the ability has no effect. The ability cannot be avoided or blocked, though countering and immunity apply normally.

A Spray ability includes the "Spray" prefix as part of the tagline and is delivered by throwing a single handful of packets all at once. Every character hit by a packet is affected, though no character can be affected more than once regardless of the number of packets that hit them.

A Twin ability includes the "Twin" prefix as part of the tagline and is delivered by attacking two separate characters with separate weapons in either hand. Both characters hit are affected. If the same character is hit by both attacks, that character is only affected once. If this makes the target ambiguous (e.g., Twin Disarm on two different weapons or Twin Maim on two limbs), the affected character chooses which target is affected.
