5. Grant Player Abilities

Ability definitions are authoring/runtime metadata. Grants are runtime state owned by AbilityStore.

The example defines three abilities:

• Slash: targets the enemy and applies instant damage.
• Quickened Strikes: buffs the player attack speed for ten seconds.
• Fortify: buffs the player max health for ten seconds.

use flexweave::{AbilityDefinition, AbilityDefinitions};

let definitions = AbilityDefinitions::new([
    AbilityDefinition::new("ability/slash", "SlashPayload"),
    AbilityDefinition::new("ability/quickened-strikes", "QuickenedPayload"),
    AbilityDefinition::new("ability/fortify", "FortifyPayload"),
])?;

Granting attaches one payload and tag set to the owner:

let ability_id = AbilityGrant::registered(&definitions, "ability/slash", grant)
    .checked(&objects)
    .run(&mut abilities)?;

The checked path rejects invalid owner ids before the grant enters the store.
