Paradox/Abilities

Companions in Paradox unlock new skills and abilities as they level up Jobs and Races. Skills are used in combat but only if the character has that skill type enabled through means like Jobs, Races, Accessories, Unique Traits and Abilities. For example, If Lime learns White Magic as a Priest and then switches to a Merchant, she keeps the skills she learned but can't use them again unless she switches to a job that can use White Magic like Priest or a race like Heal Slime or equips the Scroll of White Magic.

Abilities are passive and once they've been learned, you can use them as any Job or Race. However, you can only equip a certain amount of abilities and that amount is determined by your Job. Abilities are categorized into Attack, Job, Magic, Defense, and Special. Thus, for instance, a combat-oriented job will let you equip more combat abilities and less magic abilities. They can be equipped from the menu and you may have to reequip them after changing a character's job or race if their new ones only allow them to equip a lower amount of abilities than their previous job or race. The same skill or ability may be learned from multiple jobs and races but you only get one copy.

Additionally, you cannot equip abilities with the same effects but different values. Example, if you have Attack +10% and Attack +20% you can only equip one of them but if you have Attack +20% and Attack +50% at Critical Health, then they're different and you can equip both.

Abilities By Type
These are complete lists of every ability in the game, along with what they do, how much AP they require to equip, and what jobs or races they're acquired from. Note that some abilities are actually not obtainable through normal means--either because the job or race it is learned from cannot be accessed in any way yet, or nothing learns it--these will be listed as not available (N/A)

Special Skills and Abilities
This section contains skills and abilities that are learned though other methods like Pocket Castle Side Quests or are exclusive to a certain character.
