Yes, I know, I was just teasin' ya, boy. :)

First, there's only 2 abilities.  One costs red and gives temporary flying, 
the other rolls a 6-sided die and does a RANDOM of the 6 effects listed.  
Those numbers before the colons?  The result of the die.  And anyone can use 
this second ability.  Dice-rolling is somewhat prevalent in red (being chaos 
and all), although not common anywhere anymore.

Next, yea, I realize it's way too darn long.  So sue me. :) Be glad I didn't 
do the full legal writeup, and fudged a few things.  Like I said below:

This is pretty cool, Baron.  Can't wait to see the finished product.
