Template:Infobox-ability/popup/Usage
Usage
Every ability has one or more usage modes. A passive ability functions continuously without any conscious effort. An active ability requires conscious effort to invoke. A toggled ability, such as a Stance, requires conscious effort to activate, but then remains active until consciously untoggled (or character dies, etc.). Note that an ability which enhances an active or toggled ability, but does not need to be independently activated, is passive. An ability may have both a passive component and an active or toggled component. The field is hidden when easily predictable, such as for a spell (which is always active).
