Abilities

typedef struct {
    uint8 kernel_id;
    uint8 unknown;
    uint16 ability_id;
}

kernel_id is the used table in kernel.bin. May be 0x02 (= magic), 0x04 (= item) or 0x08 (= monster ability). ability_id is the ability in the selected kernel table.

Draw/mug/drop

typedef struct {
    uint8 id_1; // magic_id for draw, item_id for mug & drop
    uint8 qty_1; // quantities are always 0 for draw
    uint8 id_2;
    uint8 qty_2;
    uint8 id_3;
    uint8 qty_3;
    uint8 id_4;
    uint8 qty_4;
}
