All Special Abilities available as of v1.06

Okay, I've been playing around attempting to make some custom magical equipment. In the process I wanted a quick reference to all the current special abilities that are available in the game. These are listed in 3 files (SovereignTalents.xml. CoreSpecialAbilites.xml and CoreSpell_abilities_Tactical.xml), at least I think there are only 3 at the moment.

These abilities can be given to any creatures, npcs, created units or sovereign's in the game. Attaching them to a weapon, armor or item doesn't seem to work and either immediately crashes the game or crashes it later. I'm still working on how to make a Ring of Ice Bolt for example.

Anyway, here is the reference for those that want to add abilites to new or existing creatures, npcs, created units or their sovereign's.

(Sorry for the spacing, I wanted to adjust it, but couldn't figure out how to after a paste. If anyone knows how to readjust pasted line spacing, I would appreciate a tip. Thanks!)
