Template:Ability

Notes:

Renders the text of a creature ability, with an icon based on the element.

Unless named parameters are used for all of them, the name, damage, element, and condition parameters must always be passed in this order.

Syntax:

{{Ability|name|damage|element|critical=|scene=}}

Parameter	Required	Usage
`name`	⍻	The name to display for the ability. Although it is preferred to have named parameters, it is not needed to include `name=` if it is the first parameter. If no name is assigned, it will default to: `<Element Name> Damage`.
`damage`	⍻	The damage dealt by this ability. It can be a range value (e.g. 100-200). Although it is preferred to have named parameters, it is not needed to include `damage=` if it is the second parameter.
`element`	⍻	The element of the damage. If unspecified, physical will be used. Although it is preferred to have named parameters, it is not needed to include `element=` if it is the third parameter.
`condition`	✗	The condition applied by the ability, if any. Although it is preferred to have named parameters, it is not needed to include `condition=` if it is the fourth parameter.
`critical`	✗	Define as `yes` if the creature can deal Critical Hits.
`scene`	✗	The scene demonstrating the ability. Using Template:Scene.
`parentheses`	✗	Whether to show parentheses or not around the damage value. By default yes. Define as `no` or `false` to disable. Not really meant for direct use, but for child templates.

Example:

If element is not specified, it will default to physical.
