{{Ability|name|damage|element|scene=}}

Parameter	Required	Usage
`name`	⍻	The name to display for the ability. No need to include `name=` if it the first parameter. If no name is assigned, it will default to: `Element Damage`.
`damage`	✗	The damage dealt by this ability. It can be a range value (e.g. 100-200). No need to include `damage=` if it is the second parameter. This can also be used to add details to other types of abilities, such as status conditions.
`element`	✗	The element of the damage. If unspecified, physical will be assumed. For other abilities, such as status conditions, you can use other values to display their icons. See Template:Icon for possible values.
`scene`	✗	The scene demonstrating the ability. Using Template:Scene.
`parentheses`	✗	Whether to show parentheses or not around the damage value. By default yes. Define as `no` or `false` to disable. Not really meant for direct use, but for child templates.

Example:

The name must always be the first parameter.damage and type can be defined in order or named explicitly.

If type is not specified, it will default to physical.
