-'''Natural Abilities''' are both magical and non-magical powers that can be performed at will, at a cost of only 1 [[Action Points|action point]].  These powers are extraordinary, with many spell-like effects that do not require [[Spellcasting|casting or discharging]].  They cannot be disrupted in [[Combat|combat]], as spells can, because they are performed on the creature's [[Turn-based Combat|turn]]; they have no verbal or somatic component and do not require concentration.  Magical forms can be protected against.  Their ongoing effects can be [[Dispel Magic (spell)|dispelled]], but those that produce objects, enable travelling or summoning, cannot be counteracted in this way.
