    amount: '2 + level'
    conditions: {}
    random: 1
    cooldown: 0
    times: 0

Common fields

Field	Default	Description
type	required	Registered ability key. Keys are case-insensitive and - is normalized to _.
target	ability-specific	Selects an entity role such as SOURCE, SKILL, or TARGET.
source	SOURCE where used	Attribution, direction, shooter, owner, or another source role.
conditions	empty	Typed Power Conditions; every child must pass.
random	1	Execution probability.
cooldown	0	Per-source, per-power, per-config-path cooldown in seconds.
times	0	Maximum successful attempts for this configured path; zero is unlimited.
cooldown-message	empty	Optional cooldown message with {remaining} and {power_id}.
location	CONTEXT	Flat or nested extended location selector.
location.offset.x/y/z	0	Offset applied after resolving the location.
item	CONTEXT	Flat or nested item selector used by item-aware abilities.
item-holder	ability-specific	Equipment holder for item selectors.

Common execution order

1. Ability-local typed conditions.

2. Usage-count check.

3. Existing cooldown check.

4. Random roll.

5. Cooldown acquisition.

6. Usage-count increment.

7. Type-specific implementation.

Because common cooldown/count state is acquired before type-specific execution, an ability can consume an attempt and then skip when required event/entity/item/block/integration context is unavailable.

Dynamic values

Supported fields may resolve level, power variables, level selector maps, numeric ranges, runtime placeholders, and PlaceholderAPI where a player context exists. Each entry documents important explicit placeholders.
