for what Robin Laws had to say about "broad abilities" in an earlier discussion. Probably the key quote is:
> The point is to allow abilities, especially magical ones,
> do a wide variety of things, just as they tend to do in
> fiction, TV, comic books, and movies.
Sounds like another vote for letting abilities do whatever they ought to do, without obtrusive mechanical impediments.
