General

The ability AbilityBook type, and used to hold information about a particular target-able unit in the world. This API_TYPE_userdata type is not accessible as table and is immutable.

local table = AbilityBook.GetAbiltiyInfo(abilityId)

local ability = table.tTiers[1].splObject

Table Outline

Tiers 1 through 9 are all identical. That wasn't copy and paste laziness. The nId, the strTierBonusDesctiption, and everything else are identical with the exception of splObject. That seems to increment correctly. Also, I don't know what spell ID 18309 is. I entered 32089 for Tier 0 Relentless Strikes. If I enter 18309 as my abilityId, it does not return anything.
