public interface AbilityMapper
extends CMLibrary

The Ability Mapper Library handles everything dealing with the relationship between players, races, etc and Abilities (Skills, Spells, Prayers, etc). The principle duty is to map the provider of player Abilities to those Abilities, along with any requirements for being provided the skills, and the condition the skill is in when it is received.
