Ability

An ability is text and a characteristic on an object that is un-italicized, being neither flavor text nor reminder text.
Abilities always fall into one of four categories: spell abilities, activated abilities, triggered abilities, and static abilities. Some activated or triggered abilities are also mana abilities, and some static abilities are also evasion abilities or characteristic-defining abilities. Some abilities may be indicated by the presence of a keyword. Certain card types grant intrinsic abilities. Conspiracy sets feature draft abilities.
Apart from certain keyword abilities that may be strung together on the same line, each separate ability of a card is listed on a different line. Separate abilities function independently of each other. Removing abilities is not common but removing creature abilities falls under White and Blue's color pie.
