Spirits have a great variety of different abilities to help the player. Said abilities are often left quite unexplained. It's this page's objective to list all the possible Support and Primary Spirit Abilities and explain them more thoroughly. There are many, many Spirit abilities, meaning this page will take time to complete and will require help from many people to cover every single ability.
