Special Abilities (Dreadgate)

Below is a list of all the special abilities used in Glyphmaster's Gateway. A special ability is a word or phrase (usually one or two words) that appears in a card's text section to indicate a card's special talent or trait. These are typically used by Hero Cards, but can apply when a character has a common ability or trait that other cards may also share.
