Ability Books are special consumable items that drop primarily from dungeons and elite challenges, with some exceptions. By consuming them, or ‘learning’ an ability, the user is capable to use that ability permanently in any ability rotation they create, regardless of their equipped loadout.

There are currently 23 abilities that can be learned from ability books, including abilities for all three combat styles, defensive abilities and team support abilities.

Book Icon/Name	Style	Description	Drop Location
Acid Splash	Magic	Splash an enemy with acid, heavily reducing their defenses.	Fallen Academy
Acid Wave	Magic	Splash your enemies with acid, heavily reducing their defenses.	Fallen Academy
Apocalyptic Ritual	Magic	Release a hellish wave of sulfuric flames to destroy nearly everything in its wake. Magic of this scale may destroy the entire enemy party, but the incredibly long incantation time leaves the caster wide open to counter attacks.	Barrow's Cache
Armor Rend	Melee	Tear at the enemy armor, reducing its effectiveness.	RFI
Artillery	Range	Fire a barrage of explosive projectiles into the midst of your enemies, allowing you to deal an extreme amount of damage to multiple targets.	RFI
Bandage Friendly	Defense	Bandage the lowest HP member of your party to heal them for 300 health over 15 seconds.	RFI
Camouflage	Defense	Wait, where did you go? Makes you harder to hit but does not inherently decrease your threat generation.	RFI
Deadshot Stance	Range	Focus your entire being into striking true; massively decreases your ability to dodge attacks but increases your range damage output. Drains quickly.	RFI
Defend Ally	Defense	Increase the defenses of an ally at the expense of your own.	RFI
Ice Shard	Magic	Launch a magically hardened ice into your opponent to deal an impressive amount of piercing and ice damage.	Barrow's Cache
Icy Shell	Defense	Temporarily encase yourself in a shell of magical ice, increasing protection, resistance, and defensive ice affinity at the cost of agility. Melts very quickly!	RFI
Invisibility	Defense	Actually, you're probably closer to just a little translucent, but if you claim to be invisible to sound cooler, that's okay too.	Barrow's Cache
Retreating Shot	Range	Fire a distraction shot and retreat from the frontline temporarily, significantly reducing your threat.	RFI
Set Traps	Defense	Sets a trap that significantly reduces agility of an enemy if they are hit by it.	RFI
Triple Shot	Range	Quickly fire up to three arrows at the enemy party! Inherently incredibly inaccurate.	RFI
Taunt	Defense	Taunts the enemy, significantly increasing your threat level.	RFI
Impale	Melee	An impaling attack that can hit up to 2 enemies at once.	RFI
Stab	Melee	Use the tip of your weapon to stab your target.	RFI
Cleave	Melee	Let loose a mighty swing to strike up to two enemies at once! Due to having to cleave through two enemies, this attack deals slightly less damage than a single target attack.	RFI
Crush	Melee	Use the weight of your weapon to crush your target.	RFI
Fire Ball	Magic	Harness a ball of fire to throw at your enemies. Not a good idea to play catch with.	Barrow's Cache
Flamethrower	Magic	Fire an intense gout of flame!	Barrow's Cache
Slash	Melee	Use the blade of your weapon to slash at your target.	RFI
