Summary

Very brief summary about what abilities are and how they work:

• Available as a top-level menu item / action for Shiren
• Called "abilities", "night abilities", and "techniques" in different parts of the game UI
• Can only be used at night
• The primary way of dealing with night monsters
• You have 8 slots which you can populate with any abilities you've learned (duplicates allowed)
• When you learn a new ability, you can add it to any slot(s) you'd like at that time
• You can also completely overhaul which abilities are in which slots at the Night Abilities desk in Hotel Nekomaneki
• You can normally use each slot only once per floor, though there are multiple ways to refill abilities:
  • Eating peaches refills abilities -- the better the type of peach, the more slots are refilled
  • Reading a Replenish Scroll refills all slots
  • Dying and reviving refills all slots
