Some abilities are very apparent, usually they are: Hand of God, Perfection, Assemble like type (quick 30% progress or 0% progress if fail), Manipulation type (very big surge in Quality if succeed), Hasty Hand, Tender Touch type (roughly 3-5 durability loss reduce every action) and Preserve (always make orb turn white). The other half of the abilities are either vague or the calculation is too complex to matter.
