Editing Faerie Abilities

{{Construction|reason=Updating to modern faerie abilities.}}
:''This article is about the modern ability system. For the original ability system, please see [[Retired Abilities]].''
'''Faerie Abilities''' are special skills that [[Neopet]]s can use in [[Battledome]] in addition to their [[Battledome equipment|equipment]].  There are many different faerie ablilties and each one has its own unique effect.  Some abilities are powerful attacks, some restore health, and others defend against incoming attacks.  Neopets can only use one ability per round.  Most abilities have a limitation on how frequently they can be used.  Some abilities can only be used once every few rounds, while other abilities can only be used once per battle or once per day.  Only [[1-player challenger|single player challengers]] are allowed to break these limits.

==Blessings==
{{main|Bottled Faerie}}
In order to learn an ability, a Neopet must first acquire blessings.  There are six types of blessings; one for each of the six [[Faerie#Faerie types|types of faeries]] that inhabit [[Neopia]].  Each ability requires a specific number of blessings to be learned.  For example, a Neopet must pay forty darkness blessings and forty water blessings to learn the ''Drain Life'' ability.   Neopets can obtain blessings by releasing [[Bottled Faerie]]s.  The type of bottled faerie released determines the number and type of blessing received.  For example, opening a ''Weak Bottled Water Faerie'' will grant a Neopet one or two water blessings.  

==Learning New Abilities==
Neopets can learn new abilities by visiting [[Aethia]] at [[Aethia's Ability Academy]].  Faerie abilities are divided into ten different tiers.  Each tier contains three abilities and is associated with a certain level.  In order to learn an ability from a specific tier, a Neopet must be at or above the level associated with that tier.  For example, a Neopet must be at level 10 or higher to learn an ability from tier three.  

To teach a Neopet an ability, the user must first select the Neopet by clicking on its portrait near the top of the Ability Academy page.  Next, the user must select the ability or abilities that they want to teach their Neopet by selecting the appropriate icons from the available drop down menus.  The icon for each ability will only be selectable if the currently selected Neopet meets the required level minimum for that ability and has the correct number of blessings to learn it.  After selecting abilities, the user can click the ''Train These Abilities'' button to teach their Neopet the selected abilities.  Each Neopet is only allowed to know one ability from each tier at a time.  Neopets are allowed to change abilities within a tier; however, they must pay half of the blessing cost for the new ability in order to do so.
