Celestial Wave	8 beats	Hits everything on the screen for minor damage.

Frost Bolt	1 beat	Freeze enemies for 3 half beats The short cooldown makes it possible to use instead of a weapon, like a freezing version of Njord's Hands.
Block	4 beats	Blocks all damage from all directions for a three half beats + one half beat per ability point. All damage includes lava, AoE attacks, falling off the edge, and all sources of damage.
Steal Life	1 beat	Steals a small amount (~4 HP) of health from target. Does exceedingly low damage to enemies.
Teleport	1 beat	Instantly teleport to where your cursor is aimed. Can be damaged by using teleport if the teleport's path would have you take damage along that line (e.g. chest room's damage doors).

Rhythm Burst	4 beats	Fires X flame projectiles over Y beats. Each projectile deals damage over time (similar damage to Fire Bolt). Number of projectiles = ability stat + 1 Projectiles always fire at the same rate, so more projectiles = longer firing time Damage over time from each projectile stacks.
