A comma-separated list of ability tokens, matched without regard to letter case. An object of this type gains everything named here once it reaches veteran, and keeps all of it after a further promotion to elite, where EliteAbilities is added on top. The ability table lists the eighteen accepted tokens and what each one does.

An unrecognized token is discarded without complaint. The list replaces rather than merges, so a later rules layer that carries this key starts from an empty set and keeps only the tokens it names. Omitting the key in that layer leaves the earlier list in force — as does assigning it an empty value, because an assignment with nothing after the = is discarded when the file is read, so the list cannot be cleared once set.
