By equipping weapons, accessories, using consumable items, or eating food, the character can gain abilities associated with them. Abilities can provide several types of bonuses when battling enemies such as attack and defense boosts. Some abilities work outside of battle, such as auto-healing.
Abilities gained by equipping weapons are effective while the weapon is equipped, but they do not need to be the active weapon. Abilities gained by food are temporary and expire after a period of time or by losing a battle.
