Each Spirit in the game has an Ability Link board from which you can glean various helpful abilities. Some are more helpful than others; some only are allowed for that specific Spirit.

There are three types of abilities. Stat Abilities only remain while the Spirit has it learned and is in the party. Support Abilities are the same, except that you are also able to equip/unequip them. Spirit Abilites affect only the Spirits, but also remain permanently in your repertoire as you earn them.
